I help teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or out of control due to trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and substance use or addiction. If life feels heavy right now, you don’t have to manage it alone. My approach is supportive, practical, and non-judgmental. In therapy, we slow things down, talk through what’s going on, and build tools you can use in real life—like coping skills, emotional regulation, and support for recovery and relapse prevention. I focus on progress that feels steady and realistic, not rushed. Therapy should feel safe, respectful, and helpful. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and hopeful as you move forward.
Areas of Expertise
Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is supportive, practical, and trauma-informed. I focus on creating a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and supported—without judgment. Therapy works best when you feel comfortable and involved in the process, so we move at a pace that feels right for you. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT-informed skills, and solution-focused therapy to help with anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, and substance use or recovery. Sessions are focused on understanding what’s happening, building coping skills, and making small, steady changes you can use in everyday life. I value cultural humility and respect your background, values, and lived experiences. Together, we work on practical tools, emotional balance, and long-term growth—so you can feel more confident, grounded, and in control as you move forward.
