Whether you're dealing with recent events or childhood experiences, I'm here to support your journey toward healing and resilience.

Living with anxiety can feel like being stuck in a constant state of worry and overwhelm. I help clients understand their anxiety triggers, develop practical coping tools, and build confidence in managing symptoms.

Through our work, you'll learn to transform overwhelming anxiety into manageable responses, helping you live more fully in the present

Rather than dwelling on problems, SFBT focuses on building solutions by identifying your strengths and past successes. Together, we'll explore what's already working in your life and amplify these positive elements. I'll help you set clear, achievable goals and recognize small steps of progress. Through targeted questions and future-focused discussions, we'll create practical strategies to move you toward your desired outcomes, emphasizing your resilience and capability for change.

In our CBT work together, we'll explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interconnect. I'll guide you in identifying thought patterns that may be holding you back and help you develop more balanced perspectives. Through practical exercises and real-world applications, you'll learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts, manage difficult emotions, and create lasting positive changes. This evidence-based approach empowers you with concrete tools you can use throughout your life.
