I work with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, including overthinking, low motivation, feeling overwhelmed, and a loss of interest in daily life. Many come in feeling mentally exhausted or stuck in patterns that aren’t working. I work with adults of all ages, with a strong understanding of early adulthood and life transitions like career stress, relationships, and pressure to “figure things out.” I help you understand what’s going on and move forward with a clear, realistic plan.

I specialize in treating anxiety and depression using a modern, straightforward, and collaborative approach. I focus on clear explanations, practical strategies, and medication management when appropriate. Treatment is tailored to your life, with the goal of helping you feel better in a way that’s effective and sustainable.

Starting can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure where to begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also giving you clarity and direction. If you’re ready to feel better and make meaningful changes, I’m here to help.
