About me
I specialize in working with adult Millennials and GenZ experiencing anxiety and depression. Many of my clients describe persistent worry, racing thoughts, muscle tension, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, or trouble sleeping, and low mood. Anxiety and depression can also lead to physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, upset stomach, or fatigue, and it often brings a sense of being constantly “on edge.” These symptoms can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.
My goal is to help you better understand your anxiety/depression and develop effective tools to calm both your mind and body. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide our sessions, helping you identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced and realistic ways of thinking. I also incorporate Motivational Interviewing to help you clarify your goals and strengthen your motivation for change, and I draw from Brief Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps that promote progress and relief in the here and now.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices designed to reduce anxiety and improve functioning.
Together, we will work toward helping you feel more centered, resilient, and confident in managing life’s challenges with greater calm and clarity.

Jeffery has been fantastic thus far- being compassionate, understanding, and working hard with me to find solutions to what brought me here. I’m thankful for him.

Jeff helped me a lot during my down moment. I had lost hope and didn't know what else to do. He listened to me and helped me get my life back on track. He is efficient, not judgemental and always on time. He never canceled a single session. Thanks alot Jeff, I am really grateful and I am looking forward to being able to continue utilizing all the lessons I have learnt. Thank you
