Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in patterns that no longer seem to work? Perhaps you're carrying the stress of a difficult relationship, navigating a major life change, struggling with constant worry or self-doubt, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together on your own. If so, you're not alone—and things can get better. Therapy offers a supportive, evidence-based space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and develop practical tools for lasting change. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin.

I help clients explore the roots of their worries, fears, and patterns—including phobias—using gentle, evidence-based strategies.

My practice focuses on teletherapy for adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. With decades of experience in private practice and clinical settings, I have helped individuals navigate stress, trauma, adjustment challenges, and difficult seasons of life. This experience has given me a grounded understanding of the many ways people can feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am engaged, honest, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel both safe and purposeful. Together, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and work toward greater emotional clarity, resilience, and well-being. Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or returning with specific goals, I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes. My goal is to help you feel more confident in yourself, your relationships, and your ability to handle life's challenges. If you're ready for things to feel different—to feel calmer, more connected, and more like yourself again—I invite you to schedule a consultation. Reaching out can be the first step toward feeling more hopeful, supported, and in control of your life.

First session

In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. We'll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and talk about what you hope to change. Together, we'll begin identifying the patterns contributing to your current stress and establish initial goals for treatment. You can expect a calm, collaborative conversation that provides both support and a clear sense of direction for moving forward.

Strengths

My approach to therapy is warm, direct, and solution-oriented. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel understood while also being actively guided toward meaningful change. Together, we identify patterns that contribute to distress and develop practical tools that can be applied in everyday life. I primarily work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. My goal is to help clients gain greater self-understanding, strengthen their relationships, and build the skills needed to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

Ideal clients

I work best with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ongoing worry, OCD, or major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward and are looking for a calm, supportive space to process their thoughts and emotions without judgment. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a foundation, integrating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and trauma-informed principles to support meaningful, lasting change. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, build practical coping strategies, and work toward goals that align with your values and the life you want to create. Clients often leave therapy feeling more grounded, confident, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of control.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and major life transitions, including professionals managing high levels of responsibility and stress. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while also integrating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed work when it supports a client's goals. I help clients better understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck—whether that's overthinking, perfectionism, burnout, or difficulty slowing down emotionally. Together, we develop practical tools to reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and create greater balance in both their professional and personal lives. My style is supportive, steady, and thoughtful, with an emphasis on increasing self-understanding and helping clients create meaningful, lasting change that feels sustainable over time.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and major life transitions, including high-functioning individuals managing significant personal and professional demands. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) when helpful. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress, while ACT supports psychological flexibility and values-based living. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand patterns such as overthinking, perfectionism, and avoidance while building practical coping strategies and strengthening emotional regulation skills. Sessions are structured, supportive, and focused on increasing insight, developing effective tools, and creating meaningful, sustainable change.

Couples Counseling

I provide couples counseling for partners navigating communication breakdowns, emotional distance, conflict, trust concerns, and stress related to demanding personal and professional lives. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with integration of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed principles. I work with couples to gently uncover the patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of reactivity and disconnection while fostering greater emotional safety, understanding, and care. Sessions are structured to improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, and help partners develop healthier ways of responding to one another. The goal of our work is to help each partner feel more secure, understood, and emotionally connected, creating a stronger and more resilient relationship.
