I support teens and adults experiencing anxiety, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, emotional abuse recovery, life transitions, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
No Waitlist! You may look like you have it all together, but inside you're exhausted. Perhaps you're the one everyone relies on, the person who puts others first, avoids conflict, overthinks interactions, or struggles to set boundaries. Over time, these patterns can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in unhealthy relationships. I help adults understand these patterns, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.

With over 14 years of clinical experience, I support individuals recovering from narcissistic or emotionally unhealthy relationship dynamics, as well as anxiety, panic, and obsessive thoughts. If you find yourself questioning your reality, walking on eggshells, overanalyzing conversations, or feeling emotionally exhausted in a relationship, you are not alone. You may find yourself constantly second-guessing your instincts, feeling responsible for keeping the peace, or struggling to trust your own judgment. Together, we can work toward rebuilding trust in yourself and finding clarity and confidence again.

It’s undeniable—the world is changing. Life can feel increasingly stressful, overwhelming, and loud. Amid constant distractions, it’s easy to lose connection with yourself and your inner voice. This disconnection often shows up in subtle ways—saying yes when you mean no, staying in draining situations, ignoring your gut, or overthinking decisions and seeking reassurance that you’re making the “right” choice. These challenges don’t just live in your thoughts and emotions, they also show up in the body. The tightness in your chest or the knot in your stomach may seem to come out of nowhere, but it’s simply your body’s voice.

I can use my background in addictions and faith studies, as well as my training in mental-health first aid, TF-CBT, and trauma specialization, to work with your concerns regarding anxiety, depression, racial trauma, religious trauma, adoptee trauma, self-esteem, burnout, life transitions, somatic work, and much more!
Reaching out for help regarding our mental health isn’t easy. Often times we wrestle with stigmas, stereotypes, low self-esteem, and/or beliefs that therapy is a sign of weakness. I’ve made it my goal to create a safe, open, informative and transformative space for people to work towards mental, physical, and emotional wellness, and grow more into the person they want and were created to be. Often times we feel stuck or burnt by situations and experiences in life, and it becomes difficult to reach out. My desire is that you would allow me the opportunity to come alongside of you and help you move from overwhelmed to overcoming!

Early life experiences are foundational in our development. Mental health and addiction are often symptoms of repressed emotions related to underlying issues and unmet needs. This can hold us hostage, interfering in our ability to live fulfilling lives and develop meaningful connections with others. It is common to have developed and maintained coping mechanisms that no longer serve a purpose yet have become habitual and with that familiar.
Therapy is a place where thoughts and feelings are explored, validated, and with that normalized. Healing occurs through self-discovery and the sense of empowerment that accompanies this.

Together, we will develop solutions from your unique perspective. I have provided therapy for individuals, adults with ADHD/ADD, couples and families. I strive to be honest and non-judgmental, while offering supportive and realistic strategies to improve your life.
