Who I work with

Specialized care for two stages of life.

Adults

Anxiety, depression, life transitions, perfectionism, burnout, and the quiet inner critic that's been with you for years.

Individual therapy

Couples

Communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, intimacy, trust, and rebuilding the connection that brought you together.

Couples therapy

Soft morning mist rising over a still forest lake at dawn — "Stillness is where clarity begins."

The CBT approach

Practical, structured, and deeply human.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most studied forms of therapy in the world — proven to help with anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Together we'll trace the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and gently rewrite the patterns that aren't serving you.
