Do you feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed or consumed with worry? Are you navigating intense emotions, mood swings or relationship challenges? Do you struggle with self-esteem and self-criticism? You are not alone, and I can help. I am deeply passionate about supporting BPD, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, identity, grief and loss, and chronic pain/illness. I provide individualized support grounded in my education, training, and lived experience. I offer a warm, safe, and judge free space where you can explore ways to increase your well being, work on your goals, and feel empowered to create meaningful changes.
I use an evidence based, integrative approach that blends psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, polyvagal, and attachment modalities. This allows me to shape therapy around your own unique needs and goals. Whether you're facing challenges, building coping skills, or seeking personal growth, insight, or acceptance, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I would be honored to offer a space where you feel truly heard, seen, and valued. My approach is gentle, validating, and trauma informed- while also encouraging growth through honest, compassionate challenge and kind feedback. If you're looking for a therapist who is relational, collaborative, and client-centered, I invite you to reach out.

Therapy with me is about exploring the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, gaining personal insight from patterns and themes, and understanding how past experiences shape the present. I help my clients develop skills to regulate emotions, manage distress, and improve relationships. I view each client's experience through a biopsychosocial lens, and offer holistic support.
