When you’re living with depression, even daily tasks can feel overwhelming. You may feel isolated, hopeless, or stuck in cycles of negative thinking. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand what you’re going through, ease the weight of depression, and find ways to reconnect with hope and purpose.

I work with individuals, couples, and teens experiencing anxiety, panic, and stress. Using CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I provide tools for managing racing thoughts, easing physical symptoms, and improving coping strategies. My goal is to help you feel calmer, more confident, and able to move forward,

I use DBT skills to help people manage difficult emotions, cope with stress, improve communication, and respond to challenges in healthier ways. Skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness can help clients feel more balanced and better able to handle difficult situations and relationships.

I use CBT to help people better understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect one another. This approach can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns of overthinking. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, develop more balanced ways of thinking, and build practical skills you can use in everyday life.

I help individuals and couples improve communication, reduce conflict, and understand patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Together, we work on strengthening connection, rebuilding trust, and developing practical skills to support healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I use SFBT to help clients identify strengths, clarify goals, and build practical solutions that create meaningful change. This approach focuses on what’s working, not just what’s wrong, allowing clients to make steady progress through small, achievable steps. I incorporate targeted questions, future-focused planning, and skill-building strategies to help clients move toward the life and relationships they want.

I use solution-focused strategies to help clients identify what is already working, recognize their strengths, and focus on practical steps toward change. Rather than spending every session focused only on problems, we also look at goals, progress, and small changes that can help you move forward in a way that feels realistic and manageable.
