If you're a high achieving individual feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self criticism, perfectionism, or have lost connection with yourself, you're in the right place. I help ambitious individuals break free from constant self-pressure, anxious thoughts, and self-defeating patterns so you can feel calmer, more confident, and like yourself again — without losing your drive. My approach I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), among other therapy types, to equip you with evidence-based tools that reduce your anxiety, improve mood, and build confidence in your own ability to handle all of life's challenges. My focus I specialize in treating adults with perfectionism, depression, anxiety, and complex trauma. I have advanced training in trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) that helps me to provide effective support for healing from traumatic events. My communication style I provide a patient, non-judgmental space where I encourage growth and change at your own pace. Many of my clients have described that working with me is like talking to a trusted friend. My journey to mental healthcare Having overcome panic disorder myself as a teen, I understand how scary and intense anxiety and stress can become. I aim to empower you to manage and reduce your anxiety and depression and heal the effects of trauma with practical tools that you can start using right away.
