I specialize in using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

My approach is collaborative and practical, blending evidence-based strategies with genuine connection. Together, we will build skills to manage distress, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy should be a space where you don’t have to shrink or codeswitch—where your identity is affirmed and your voice matters. Whether you're working through daily stressors or deeper emotional wounds, I aim to support you with empathy, honesty, and tools you can actually use in your everyday life.
