Inside the Session…

Our sessions are led with curiosity to open doors into your life. We create a supportive, grounded space where you can pause, feel seen, and find relief from the demands of everyday life. In a trusting and comfortable environment, individual therapy allows you to explore your inner world, process emotions, and speak openly about your experiences.

I create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story, and collaboratively we create a tailor-made plan to your unique needs, goals, and life circumstances. Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, our work together is collaborative and flexible. As the expert of your own story, I’m here to witness, advocate, reflect, and guide, adjusting gently to meet you where you are.

I have a holistic client centered approach that is informed by mindfulness. Depth gives insight into the unconscious and conscious parts of you. Somatic connects the body and mind. Psychodynamic explores your past to uncover how it shapes your present. CBT and DBT give you the skills to manage negative thoughts and emotions. I use EMDR to heal from traumatic experiences.

Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety and stress can take over your thoughts, emotions, sleep, and overall sense of balance. Finding calm may seem out of reach—but it is possible. Using a holistic approach to anxiety treatment, I take time to understand your anxious thoughts, specific fears, and the stressors in your life. Together, we work collaboratively to reduce symptoms and help you experience greater ease, clarity, and peace.

  • Ongoing stress related to work, health concerns, or major life changes

  • Anxiety that disrupts your sleep, focus, or relationships

  • Trouble relaxing or feeling unable to “turn off” your mind

  • Perfectionism, harsh self-criticism, or feelings of burnout

Depression

Depression can narrow your world—dimming motivation, draining energy, and clouding the way you see yourself and your future. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by self-doubt or hopelessness. While it can be hard to remember what lightness feels like, change is possible. My approach to depression is compassionate, integrative, and tailored to you. We’ll explore the emotional, relational, and lifestyle factors contributing to your mood, while building practical strategies to restore momentum and self-trust. Together, we focus on helping you feel more engaged, resilient, and connected to a life that feels meaningful again.
