Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re worried it means something is “wrong” with you. You’re not alone. Many people feel nervous, ashamed, or unsure about asking for help. By utilizing effective treatment with identifiable results, I offer a safe, respectful space where you can feel understood, supported, and confident as you make meaningful changes. I use TEAM‑CBT, an evidence‑based approach designed to help you get better faster. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way, build practical skills for mood and emotion regulation, and strengthen self‑confidence. You’ll leave sessions with tools you can use right away in your daily life, and many clients notice real improvement within just a few sessions. Therapy works best when we collaborate. If you’re willing to lean into discomfort and try new strategies, I’ll match your effort with clear guidance, compassion, and structured support. Between sessions, I’ll offer simple, personalized homework so you can practice skills and see measurable progress. I regularly work with bipolar disorders, dissociation, trauma, ADHD, anxiety (panic, fears, phobias, and persistent worries), depression, and life transitions. If your experience includes one, or several, of these, we’ll tailor treatment to your specific needs and values. In our first meetings, we will understand your unique situation, explore your self-identity, and determine what’s occurring in your life. We will then define your goals, identify barriers to change, and test which tools work best for you. As therapy progresses, you will develop a set of skills for daily life, increase emotional stability, and feel more capable navigating challenges. Sessions with me are 50 minutes and typically weekly. I utilize routine outcome measurement to see your progress clearly and help you decide when you’re ready to graduate. Successful therapy will result in increased mood regulation, development of tools and skills for daily life, and overall improvement in well-being. If you’re ready to start, or simply curious, reach out. I’d be honored to help you move from overwhelmed to empowered, with practical steps that fit your life.
