Anxiety can make life feel smaller, more tense, and harder to trust. I help clients understand what their anxiety is trying to protect them from, identify patterns that keep it going, and build practical tools for calming the body, challenging anxious thoughts, and moving toward life with more confidence and steadiness.

Depression can make even ordinary life feel heavy, distant, and hard to begin. I help clients explore what may be contributing to that weight, including stress, grief, trauma, self-criticism, isolation, or feeling stuck. Together, we work toward small, realistic steps that rebuild clarity, connection, purpose, and hope.

PTSD can leave you feeling on guard, disconnected, easily overwhelmed, or pulled back into painful experiences even when you are trying to move forward. I offer a steady, trauma-informed space to help clients understand their responses, build safety and coping skills, reduce shame, and begin reconnecting with themselves and their lives.

Narrative Therapy helps clients separate themselves from the problems they are facing and explore the stories that have shaped how they see themselves. I use this approach to help clients identify strengths, values, meaning, and preferred ways of living, especially when shame, trauma, or old patterns have taken over the story.

IFS-informed parts work helps clients understand the different “parts” of themselves that may feel anxious, angry, protective, wounded, avoidant, or overwhelmed. I use this approach to help clients build curiosity and compassion toward themselves, reduce inner conflict, and better understand what each part may be trying to protect.

CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients notice how thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and body responses influence one another. I use CBT to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck, challenge unhelpful beliefs, build coping tools, and make realistic changes that support daily life.
