Do you sometimes feel lost in the stress, expectations, or pressures of life and long to better understand yourself? Whether you’re a teen navigating challenges or an adult feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, I provide therapy to help you find clarity and healing. You may find yourself stuck in patterns of giving to others while neglecting your own needs, yearning for a deeper sense of meaning and authenticity. With 12+ years as a middle and high school teacher, I understand the struggles adolescents/teens face and how early experiences shape adulthood, allowing me to meet clients of all ages with empathy and tools for growth.
I offer a compassionate, culturally aware space where we explore who you are beyond external expectations. I draw from CBT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, DBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Together we’ll break limiting beliefs, erase unhealthy practices, process emotions, set boundaries, and reconnect with your authentic self.
I know how heavy it can feel to lose touch with yourself. My own healing journey has taught me the power of slowing down, feeling fully, and setting boundaries with love. You deserve to be happy, not just busy. If you're ready to reconnect with your most authentic self, I’m here to walk with you.
