I work with individuals struggling with OCD, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety—especially when it involves uncertainty, identity, or difficulty trusting your own thinking. You may feel stuck in cycles of overthinking or doubt, trying to think your way to certainty but only feeling more stuck. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but caught in mental loops that don’t fully make sense and are hard to let go of. Our work focuses on understanding these patterns and developing a different relationship to thoughts so you can move forward with more clarity.

Constantly struggling with food, body image, or weight shame is exhausting. It can feel like a broken record- the yo-yo diets, binge eating, feeling disconnected from your body, overwhelmed around food, feeling not enough and too much at the same time. You're over it. You're ready for things to feel easier- to reclaim your energy and to trust yourself more. Whether you're new to this place of questioning and frustration -OR- you already have a strong sense of self and body but could benefit from support navigating a world full of harmful body hierarchies, I'm so glad you're here.

Many of the couples I work with feel stuck in repetitive conflict, emotional distance, or communication that quickly escalates or shuts down. They care deeply about one another, yet find themselves caught in patterns that leave both partners feeling misunderstood or disconnected. They want relief from the cycle, greater emotional safety, and a clearer path toward rebuilding trust, stability, and closeness.

Ciao!
Congratulations on recognizing that you matter and taking this important initial first step on beginning your journey of transformation.
I understand and personally aware that a path to emotional wellbeing can feel over whelming, scary, and can make us feel that we are walking this journey alone.
My personal journey to becoming a therapist spans across twenty years. Durning this time, there was self-discovery regarding my abilities, character and feelings. I believe we all hold the power within ourselves to achieve emotional wellbeing and the ability to transform ourselves into the healthiest version of ourselves.

One of the most important parts of therapy is to feel a connection with your therapist so that a trusting relationship can develop. Within this safe environment, changes can occur within your life, both emotionally and behaviorally. I encourage you to come in and meet with me to see if we can find that path to change together.

I specialize in relationship trauma, particularly cult recovery, with adults. My clients are often gentle souls, have been called "too sensitive" and can find this world hard to navigate. Our society sometimes turns sensitivity & thoughtfulness into pathologies. If you're empathic and contemplative, not only is there nothing wrong with you, we need more of you!

Are you someone who’s doing their best to hold it all together while feeling like life keeps throwing curveballs? Maybe you're struggling with depression that makes even simple things feel heavy, or anxiety that never quite lets you rest. Are you living with chronic illness and the constant push-and-pull between what your mind wants and what your body allows? Do you struggle with perfectionism? Or maybe you are navigating the unique stressors of being part of the LGBTQIA+ community — wanting authenticity but facing fear or misunderstanding.

I work with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, often due to anxiety, depression, or life stress that’s become too much to manage alone. You may look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside, you’re exhausted, unsure of your next steps, or just not feeling like yourself.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted-even when things look "fine" on the outside?
You may experience racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, or constant overthinking.
For many young adults, this shows up as pressure from school, deadlines, and the fear of falling behind. You may worry about disappointing others or not measuring up, even when you're doing your best. Others, feel worn down by constant over-thinking-second-guessing decisions, replaying conversations leaving them stuck and drained.

My first passion has always been couples therapy. I've aided clients struggling with infidelity, high conflict, parenting issues, mental health diagnoses, and substance abuse. I also have significant experience with individual and family therapy involving adults. Even when I am doing individual therapy, I am exploring the larger systems that people live in in order to improve their relationships and overall well-being.
