Let's Connect (365) 376-5833

I support adults experiencing anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, career stress, as well as dating/relationship challenges. I also help with family of origin dynamics, and painful childhoods. (Additional specialties listed below).

I approach therapy with encouragement and compassion and draw upon your unique qualities and strengths. To help foster healing and greater wellbeing, together we can work to relieve symptoms, and explore root causes.

I draw from several treatment modalities, integrating both cognitive and emotional aspects. Meaningful change for me comes from therapy that includes self-compassion, self-exploration, mindful perspectives, and strengths-based work that promotes greater enjoyment of life.
