Introduction

I enjoy working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, women's issues, grief, and life transitions. My approach is person-centered and insight-oriented, with an emphasis on understanding how childhood experiences, family dynamics, relationships, and significant life events continue to influence current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Therapy is a collaborative process focused on recognizing patterns, increasing self-awareness, and developing practical, lasting change that aligns with your personal goals.
