My ideal client is someone navigating struggles with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. They may experience challenges with emotion regulation and interpersonal relationships. I seek individuals who are ready to engage in the therapeutic process, willing to apply skills and homework in their daily lives, and committed to personal growth. Together, we can work towards developing healthier coping strategies and fostering deeper connections.
You might be seeking guidance, support, or simply a safe space to process your difficulties. You can also be dealing with challenges that prevent you from feeling joyful, confident, or moving forward in your relationship or personal life.

I work with adults who are coping with major life changes or stressors, and I help to empower them in making their lives a bit better. I have experience working with a wide range of behavioral/mental health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems.
Many clients come to me feeling stuck in unsatisfying relationships. They crave deeper connections with partners, parents, or other important figures, but despite expressing their needs, nothing seems to change. They often find themselves caught in cycles of frustration, vowing not to get angry or to "just let things go," only to feel overwhelmed again. Emotions like anxiety, anger, and sadness can feel unmanageable, and they may be triggered by small or unexpected events.
