I work with people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves. You might notice patterns that are hard to understand, feel weighed down by anxiety or low energy, or have a sense that something deeper is going on.
Many of my clients are self-aware, but still feel blocked in their relationships, in how they relate to themselves, or in their ability to feel present and at ease.
In our work, we slow things down and begin to explore what’s underneath, so things can start to shift and you can feel clearer, connected, and like yourself.

My approach uses a holistic and trauma-informed lens.
Have you ever felt like you do not belong, that you are gravely misunderstood? What about striving for perfection in all aspects of your life? Or constantly feeling like a stranger in your own body? Does any of this sound familiar to you? I can assure you that you are not alone in these struggles. We might try to put on a brave face for the world; however, cracks begin forming in our façade, and self-doubt creeps in and eats away at our sense of self. I am here to normalize these feelings and empower you to become the best version of yourself, whatever that might look like. You are allowed to take up space in your own healing.

I am a licensed psychologist with a decade's worth of experience supporting adults who have experienced anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and struggles with self-esteem.
Sometimes it can be challenging to speak up. This could be because of societal roles and expectations, relationship and/or workplace dynamics, or the experience of being an introvert in an extravert's world. It could help to explore what you have learned are the costs of standing up for yourself and asserting boundaries-do they truly outweigh the potential benefits? I am here to listen, share strategies and ideas, and give gentle suggestions. I hope to support you as you make decisions about any changes that you would like to make in how you respond in stressful situations like conflict, workplace stress, and relationship breakdown.

Yes, we will work on processing your trauma - and we will also move forward.
You're a woman between 39-50ish and something just feels OFF. It's definitely physical: the hot flashes, waking up in the night, can't remember anything, the weight gain, but it's also emotional: the mood swings, irritability, the burnout, the lack of motivation, the sense of just not feeling like yourself. You wonder if you're just "getting old", or maybe your hormones are out of whack? You are doing ALL the right things. You exercise, you eat clean, you have good relationships, a career, and just when you're starting to feel like you've got it figured out, the rollercoaster of emotions hits you. It's so incredibly frustrating

I specialize in supporting people struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, and trauma/ PTSD.
Do you feel you could be the poster child for high-functioning anxiety? You’re always in go-go-go mode and struggle to slow down or relax. And maybe you even find yourself getting sick every time you finally take vacation or allow yourself to slow down. Chances are you’ve been stuck in chronic fight or flight mode for a while now. You may have even had health professionals tell you this, but you just don’t know how to get out of it. And you’ve probably noticed your stress and anxiety showing up as not-so-fun physical symptoms (sleep or digestive issues anyone?). Anxiety affects our thoughts, but it wreaks havoc on our body too!
