I believe therapy is most useful when what we talk about in session connects to what is happening in your everyday life. We'll spend time understanding what's going on, but we'll also look at what might help you handle situations differently and make progress toward the goals that matter to you.

My approach is active and collaborative. I'll ask questions, offer feedback, and help you consider different perspectives and possible solutions. Depending on your needs, we may work on coping strategies, communication skills, managing difficult emotions, setting boundaries, or finding more effective ways to respond to stressful situations.

I draw from approaches including Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR, adapting the work based on your needs and goals rather than relying on one approach for everyone. 

Therapy should give you something you can take with you—not just a place to talk for an hour.

I work with adults who are dealing with challenges that are affecting how they feel, function, or connect with the people around them. Some clients come to therapy because of a specific situation, while others simply recognize that the way they've been coping isn't working as well as they'd like.

Some of the concerns I work with include:

• Anxiety and stress — Managing worry, overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, and the pressure of everyday responsibilities.
• Depression — Working through low motivation, disconnection, difficulty enjoying things, or feeling emotionally drained.
• Relationship concerns — Improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, and navigating difficulties with partners, family members, or others.
• Life transitions — Adjusting to changes in relationships, work, family roles, or other circumstances that can leave you feeling uncertain about what comes next.
• Self-esteem and confidence — Developing a stronger sense of yourself and becoming more confident in your decisions and relationships.
• Coping with difficult situations — Developing practical strategies for managing stress, difficult emotions, and situations that can feel overwhelming. 

Therapy can be useful whether you're dealing with one specific concern or several things that have started to feel like too much at once.

I want therapy to be a place where you feel supported, but also a place where we're actively working toward the things you want to change. You can expect me to be engaged in the process with you—asking questions, offering feedback, providing information, and helping you identify practical ways to approach the challenges you're facing.

I value honesty, collaboration, and straightforward communication in therapy. We'll talk openly about what's helping, what isn't, and whether the work we're doing is moving you toward your goals.

My hope is that you leave therapy not only with greater understanding, but with more confidence in your ability to handle difficult situations, make decisions, communicate effectively, and use the strengths and skills you already have.
