Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of “shoulds” and self-comparison? Feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected from your own needs? Exhausted by the pressure to do it all, yet unsure how to slow down? You’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are navigating burnout, self-doubt, body image concerns, or life transitions that have pulled them away from who they are. You might feel overwhelmed by “shoulds,” self-comparison, or the weight of expectations. What you really want is to feel more grounded, connected, and confident—like yourself again. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reflect, and begin that return.

I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma (gender-based, workplace, systems, healthcare, and/or sexual trauma) as well as queer, trans, and/or gender diverse folks. My previous work as an outreach professional and a crisis responder has made me passionate about supporting other helping professionals. I know the joy and heartbreak of this work. I invite you to share in this together because we cannot possibly hold all of it alone. I am currently available to complete Hormone Readiness Assessments alongside those who need it.

Being a human comes with all kinds of challenges; whether you've struggled with your relationship to food and your body, substance use, or disconnection from your day to day. Feeling overwhelmed, down on yourself, and isolated, can impact every aspect of our lives from our relationships, to our work, and to our physical health. Sometimes our struggles get bigger than us and feel too daunting to tackle on our own. Reaching for help can allow you to feel empowered and at ease within your life.

Are you tired of the repetitive cycle of talk therapy which may bring short term relief but fails to provide lasting change? Are you exhausted from the overwhelming grip of anxiety or haunted by the ghosts of past traumas? Do low self-esteem and depression relentlessly hold you back, making life feel unmanageable? Unquestionably, these issues present immense challenges, but there is hope.

Life is complex, and emotional pain is unavoidable. As your therapist, I am here to support you in navigating these complexities. While occasional feelings of sadness or anxiety, and occasional conflicts, are normal, overwhelming or persistent emotional pain may signal deeper issues. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger management issues, ongoing relationship problems, and persistent loneliness can indicate that we might need to do more inner work to heal. Psychotherapy helps us uncover the underlying causes of our problems, offering insights into why we experience difficulties and providing guidance on resolving them effectively.

I believe we all yearn for a deeper connection to ourself and to those around us, but we may find ourselves repeating unhelpful patterns, sacrificing our needs, and communicating in ways that do not support us or our relationships. I often work with individuals or couples who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, perceptions of low self-worth and powerlessness, feelings of abandonment, shame, and other forms of wounding related to difficult upbringings, life experiences, and trauma.

One of the most exciting aspects of life is that it is always changing, yet this can also be one of our biggest challenges. Life's transitional moments can be difficult as they can cause stress, uncertainty and confusion and can often lead to feelings of grief and loss. It can make us question ourselves and others and may overwhelm us into inaction. The picture of what we had expected our future to look like changes and we are left with a variety of emotions and no plan forward. I believe that having someone to talk to through these tough times is so helpful. I am grateful to be that person for my clients.
