For more than 20 years, I have worked with adults, teens, couples, and groups who are feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—patterns that disrupt relationships, fuel anxiety or overwhelm, or create a sense of living smaller than they want to.

We don’t live or grow in isolation—our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are shaped by our relationships, experiences, and the environments we move through every day. In therapy, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and develop practical tools to navigate life with more confidence and balance.
