LET’S GET STARTED

my areas of expertise


Anxiety & Mood Disorders

Helping individuals navigate feelings of worry, fear, and depression while developing strategies for emotional regulation and resilience.

Supporting clients in processing past experiences, reducing distress, and building a sense of safety and empowerment.


Relational Difficulties

Assisting individuals and couples in improving communication, understanding patterns, and fostering healthier connections.

Why therapy?

Picture yourself feeling more present and grounded, even in difficult moments. Therapy can help you cultivate the ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively to life’s challenges. As we work together, you’ll begin to recognize patterns that may have kept you stuck and learn how to make choices that align with your values and goals. Over time, you can develop a greater sense of emotional balance, increased self-awareness, and the confidence to approach your feelings with curiosity rather than fear.
