About me

I'm happy that you reached out for help, which takes courage and strength. My clients are often people who are doing their best to hold everything together but feel the weight of stress, anxiety, past experiences, or major life changes catching up with them. Many are high‑functioning on the outside yet overwhelmed on the inside. Others are navigating relationship challenges, grief, burnout, identity questions, or a sense that they’ve lost connection with themselves. I work with adults who want support that feels human, compassionate, and practical - not clinical or cold. I will offer a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and explore what you’re going through without judgment. Together, we’ll identify what’s weighing on you, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you cope, grow, and move toward the life you want. If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or simply ready for something to shift, I’m here to help you take that next step. You’re welcome to reach out whenever you’re ready...we can talk about what you’re looking for and see if working together feels like a good fit.

My treatment methods

Supportive

Supportive therapy is a core part of my approach. I provide a safe, non‑judgmental space where you can talk openly, process emotions, and feel understood. Together, we build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and explore what you need to feel more grounded and capable. Supportive therapy helps you feel supported while also making meaningful, practical changes in your daily life.

Interpersonal

Interpersonal Therapy focuses on the connection between your relationships and your emotional well‑being. Together, we’ll explore communication patterns, role transitions, grief, and sources of conflict or isolation. You’ll learn practical skills to express your needs, strengthen relationships, and navigate life changes more confidently. As your relationships improve, your mood and overall functioning often improve as well

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Together, we identify patterns that keep you stuck, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and practice new skills that improve daily functioning. CBT is structured, collaborative, and practical—you’ll learn tools you can use right away, and we’ll track your progress so you can see real change over time.
