I have a strong background in psychology and use different methods to help people dealing with Anxiety, Depression, Anger, ADHD, Phobias, relationship problems, low self-esteem, chronic pain, and PTSD.
In my work, I use different types of therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Psychoanalysis, and other methods focused on finding solutions and putting clients first. I believe that what works for one person may not work for another, so I always try to find the best approach for each individual.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns you understand intellectually but cannot seem to change. Maybe fear of uncertainty keeps pulling you toward familiar dynamics, even when they hurt. You might notice yourself clinging to certainty, answers, or roles because not knowing feels too risky. Over time, that tension can show up as anxiety, depression, relationship distress, or a sense of disconnection from yourself.

Are you feeling disconnected from the people in your life? Have you lost your sense of self? I understand how lonely that can feel. When circumstances change unexpectedly, loss and betrayals sideline us, or loved ones let us down, it can feel overwhelming and uncertainty can creep in leaving us unsure how to navigate next steps. I believe in connection, compassion, and community lead to clarity and healing. I am here to help you connect more deeply with yourself and your loved ones through compassion and understanding.

Life feels like too much — too many expectations, too much pressure, too many “shoulds.”
If you’ve been holding it together on the outside while struggling on the inside, therapy can be the place where you finally exhale.
I work with women and girls (preteens and up) who feel caught in cycles of self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or overwhelm. Maybe you’ve been running on autopilot, trying to meet everyone else’s expectations, but inside you feel exhausted and unsure of who you really are anymore.

Do you constantly feel on edge or overwhelmed? Many of us grow up learning to push down our thoughts and feelings. We may have been told our anger is unacceptable, sadness is a weakness, or vulnerability should be avoided. However, these emotions are natural and valuable to personal growth and self-understanding. It is what we do with these feelings when they show up that makes all the difference. Together, we can process your experiences with the intention, so you can be more in control and feel lighter. You feel things deeply for a reason, let’s explore why and what now.

I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and eating-related concerns.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves, their partners, or the life they thought they “should” be living. If that’s where you are, you’re not alone.
