My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, family conflict, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and major life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting people who feel like they have had to carry too much for too long, often without the support, understanding, or space they needed.
I believe many people come to therapy not because they are broken, but because they are tired. Tired of surviving, tired of overthinking, tired of repeating the same patterns, or tired of feeling like they have to be strong all the time. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, be honest about what you are feeling, and begin to understand yourself with more compassion.
My style of therapy is warm, collaborative, and direct when needed. I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves in session, while also feeling supported in doing the deeper work. Together, we will look at the experiences that shaped you, the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and the tools that can help you cope, communicate, set boundaries, and move through life with more confidence and clarity.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you are used to figuring things out on your own. You do not have to know exactly what to say or where to begin. You can come as you are, and we will work together from there.
