I believe therapy should feel like a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I work with addiction and Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as clients navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults building self-understanding. I aim to help clients feel understood while building insight, emotional regulation, and healthier coping strategies, at a pace that feels right for each person.

Healing often begins with learning to treat yourself with the same compassion you already offer everyone else. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, perfectionism, work stress, and relationship challenges. My clients often arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling to trust their own voice or feel confident in who they are. Whether you are dealing with social pressure, family dynamics, dating, or the quiet weight of self-criticism, this is a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself.

You might be navigating ADHD, anxiety, or depression and feeling out of step with everyone around you. You might be a parent trying to understand what your child is experiencing, or an adult facing the pressure of school, career decisions, or figuring out who you are. I work with clients of all ages, drawing on my background as both an educator and a therapist to understand not just what you are feeling, but the systems and pressures shaping it. We start with your nervous system, and build from there.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it makes sense to feel uncertain about it. I work with adults navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions, including the moments where you feel stuck and are not quite sure what comes next. My clients often arrive knowing something needs to change but unsure where to begin. That uncertainty is not a problem to fix before we start. It is exactly where we begin, together, at a pace that feels right for you.

So many of us are prescribed roles to play, and the pressure to play them well can be so intense. The perfect son/daughter, perfect partner, perfect employee, perfect friend, the list goes on. It's a lot juggling all of that, and where only human! I'm known for my work with people on stress/anxiety and trauma. Two areas that thrive on identifying how we see ourselves, and so often can we free ourselves from some heavy invisible chains when we work on these stresses and traumas. It's a journey I find deeply meaningful to be a part of with my clients and I look forward to being a part part of it with you.

The ways we learn to cope often make perfect sense given what we have been through. Over time, those same patterns can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, attachment injuries, infidelity, and the lasting effects of sexual abuse and assault. If you are caught in patterns you cannot seem to shift, or carrying something that has never felt fully safe to explore, this is a space built for exactly that work.
