·      Are you feeling weighed down by worry?

·      Struggling to find motivation ?

·      Experiencing difficulty communicating with your partner?

These challenges are more common than you might think, and you don’t have to face them alone. Many people experience anxiety and depression, often stemming from past trauma, which can impact self-worth, relationships, and overall happiness. As a therapist, I specialize in working with adults and couples to navigate these struggles, creating a safe space for you to process feelings, heal, and move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.

My approach

My approach to therapy is tailored to address both immediate concerns and deeper issues. I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with psychodynamic techniques to support you in different ways. CBT provides practical tools for managing distressing symptoms, to help you build coping skills and reframe negative thought patterns. By working on these thought patterns, you can begin to feel more in control of your emotional responses and find relief from overwhelming feelings. Psychodynamic therapy complements this by exploring the underlying roots of your struggles—such as past experiences and unresolved conflicts that may still impact you today. Together, these approaches help address both surface-level issues and the deeper foundations of distress, offering tools for immediate relief and long-term growth.

Your Journey, Our Collaboration

Therapy is a collaborative journey. I view it as a partnership where we work side-by-side, rooted in trust, respect, and empathy. Together, we will develop the goals that you want to achieve out of therapy. I provide a non-judgmental, welcoming environment where you’re free to explore what’s holding you back and discover paths forward that feel right for you. As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I honor all identities, faiths, and backgrounds and I am dedicated to creating an inclusive space for everyone. My background in community mental health deepens this commitment, as I have experience working with clients from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, especially those who may feel marginalized or underrepresented. I strive to make my practice a sanctuary where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

 

A Supportive and Inclusive Space

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or another life challenge, I am here to support you in building resilience and achieving a sense of fulfillment. Together, we can work through barriers to foster healing and growth. I look forward to being by your side on this path toward renewed hope and a more satisfying life. Let’s build a way forward, together.
