Welcome
I view therapy as a space for deepening our self-understanding, developing new skills, and gaining insights into ongoing challenges.
Whether you're struggling with intrusive thoughts, overwhelming anxiety, persistent depression, or the aftermath of trauma, I'm here to provide a warm, compassionate environment where you can explore these challenges and work toward meaningful change.
My approach is collaborative and goal-directed, drawing on evidence-based treatments tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll work to calm your inner critic, build resilience, and help you find clarity in your life.
