Life can feel like standing at a crossroads with no clear signs. The pressure to have it all figured out — your career, your relationships, your sense of self — can quietly build into something heavier than you expected. If you're waking up exhausted, struggling to feel motivated, and carrying a low hum of worry that never quite goes away, you're not alone. And you don't have to keep pushing through it on your own. I specialize in working with adults navigating the overlapping challenges of anxiety and depression — two experiences that often travel together, each making the other harder to manage. You might find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking and withdrawal, feeling both restless and empty at the same time. That tension is real, and it makes sense given everything you're carrying. My approach combines talk therapy with practical, evidence-based tools designed to build lasting change. Together, we'll work to untangle the thought patterns keeping you stuck, develop coping skills you can actually use in daily life, and strengthen your emotional resilience and flexibility — so that when life gets hard, you have real resources to draw on. I create a space that is warm, judgment-free, and genuinely tailored to who you are, and what works for you. You're at a stage of life that's full of real pressure and real possibility. Therapy isn't about having something "seriously wrong" with you — it's about getting the support you deserve to move through this period with more clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Hopefully, your first session will feel relaxed and conversational. We'll explore what's bringing you to therapy, and I'll walk you through my approach and what to expect. Think of it as a two-way conversation — this is your chance to get a sense of who I am and whether we feel like a good fit. By the end, I'll share some initial thoughts and we'll talk openly about next steps. There's no pressure to commit to anything on the spot. The decision is always yours.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I meet clients exactly where they are. Whether you show up angry, shut down, or barely holding it together, you'll find a space here free of judgment — and someone who genuinely believes in your capacity to heal, even when you've lost that belief yourself. I understand that real change takes work, and that the process isn't always linear. Therapy can feel harder before it feels better, and I'll be honest with you about that. What I offer is steady, grounded support for the whole journey — not just the easy parts. And when progress happens — even the small, quiet wins that are easy to overlook — we take a moment to recognize it. Growth deserves to be acknowledged, and celebrating how far you've come is just as much a part of the work as everything else.

Working with individuals experiencing acute mental health episodes showed me that the most effective therapeutic techniques are the ones that work for the client: those are the ones that will bring about sustainable changes and have a lasting positive effect.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
The core of ACT is about learning to tolerate difficult feelings or thoughts, while simultaneously committing to behavior that is meaningful and aligned with one’s values. For example; Example: a person might feel anxiety before a public speech. Acceptance involves acknowledging the anxiety ("I feel anxious") without trying to suppress or escape it. This larger goal might seems impossible right now, but ACT provides us with a framework of smaller goals and skills that help us accomplish bigger things.
