Introduction

Finding the right therapist is a vital step toward healing and personal growth. I specialize in working with adults (18+) navigating challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and stress. My ideal clients are those seeking support to better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, and improve their mental health and daily functioning. I offer a supportive, collaborative, and judgment-free therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe exploring their experiences and emotions. Whether you're struggling with longstanding issues or facing a new life challenge, I will meet you where you are—with empathy and respect—and work with you to identify and achieve your goals. Using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing, I help clients change unhelpful thought patterns, process trauma, manage symptoms, and build confidence in navigating life. Together, we will work to create meaningful, lasting change. You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. Taking the first step can be hard—but it can also be the start of a brighter, healthier future.
