LCSW, 14 years of experience
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, quick to anger, or frustrated in your relationships — you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with feel like something just isn’t working, but they can’t quite explain why. Often, these struggles come from early experiences where emotions were ignored, dismissed, or too much for the adults around us to handle. As children, we learn fast: if expressing emotions doesn’t feel safe or accepted, we push them down. Over time, that emotional disconnection can turn into anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or anger that feels hard to control. My work focuses on helping you understand where these patterns come from and how to shift them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that feels heavy, anger that shows up too fast, or relationship challenges that keep repeating — we’ll work together to untangle the deeper story and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and feeling. This isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been shut down for too long.
am here to support you through your healing journey and would be more than happy to collaborate with you on your personal therapeutic goals. Healing takes time patience and understanding.
I believe therapy should feel like a conversation — one built on honesty, curiosity, and care. I work from a trauma-informed, emotionally-focused lens, helping you uncover the “why” beneath what you’re feeling or doing. We’ll look at how early experiences shaped the way you respond to stress, conflict, and connection. I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic awareness — tailoring the work to what you need most. That might mean learning tools to manage overwhelming anxiety, making sense of a depressed mood that won’t lift, finding ways to regulate anger without shutting down, or improving communication in your relationships. My goal is always to help you feel more aware, more grounded, and more in control of your emotional world.
I work best with adults who are ready to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. You may be: Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge Struggling with depression, low motivation, or emotional numbness Dealing with anger that feels reactive, explosive, or hard to understand Stuck in painful relationship patterns or communication issues Trying to break free from people-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional disconnection If that sounds familiar, you don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. Therapy can help you feel more connected — not just to others, but to yourself.
I help clients understand the origin of their unhealthy behaviors, acknowledge it's purpose and learn to use alternative coping mechanisms, which can reduce and eventually eliminate the use of destructive behaviors. I assist clients build self-esteem and attain a healthier relationships.
I look for thought and behavior patterns to offer clients a fresh perspective on themselves and on why they operate in the ways that they do. Once we identify contributing factors, we can initiate change.
