I have background experience and training in working with adults and teens.
We all have an inner voice. Sometimes, that inner voice is self-critical, and brings with it many negative thoughts and feelings. We can feel stuck at a cross-roads, split between multiple paths. Other times, we might feel overwhelmed, burned out, and feel directionless, but with a desire to change something in our lives. At times, we can rely on family & friends for support and guidance, but some problems are so unique and specific - relationships, career guidance, managing our mental health, that it can help to talk about them with a trusted professional.

I work primarily with gifted or professional adults, those exploring AD(H)D or experiencing the discrepancies between high-functioning while struggling with daily life.
Talking is a most basic - yet most powerful - way to unravel confusion, process distress, tolerate challenges, rediscover oneself, and navigate change. I provide talk therapy to adults in a professional and engaging space, where we work toward improved mental health and wellbeing, and improved relationships with ourselves, our work, and others. For individuals, we consider identity, the impacts of early traumas, self-reliance, and self-acceptance. For couples, we highlight self-awareness, tolerating differences, relational safety, and improved communication. Throughout, we acknowledge and actively work with anxiety and depression.

As a humanistic therapist, I believe that all people are inherently good and deserving of respect. There is so much stigma and shame in our culture around the very characteristics that make us uniquely human. I'm passionate about helping adults on their journey toward healing after trauma and exploring the intricacies of their identities. With a background in psychology and counseling, I am dedicated to creating a safe and empathic space for self-exploration, growth, and liberation. We could be a good fit to work together if you are looking to connect with your inner wisdom to live an authentic life that aligns with your values.
