It’s midnight, but you’ve been in bed since 9pm. You’re scrolling and tell yourself, ‘This is the last post – I’ve got to get up in six hours for work.’ Before you know it, it’s 1am. You feel exhausted, but your brain is wired. Sound familiar? While many think of addiction as one to a substance (like painkillers or cigarettes), the ‘behavioral’ use issue (particularly to our phones, social media or FOMO) is also growing.
My approach to counseling is more unconventional, relaxed, and strength based. Whether you want to stop something or just 'cut back,' we'll collaborate to explore your goals and how we can navigate them together.

Relationships are hard and they are what make us human. I am passionate about helping my clients improve communication, increase connection, and work through past and present experiences that are preventing them from having and maintaining the relationships they want in their lives.

Struggling with the state of our nation? Exhausted and unsure how to move forward? You are not alone. It's time for radical liberation. No more do we let society label our worth. Nor allow jobs to suck the life from our spirit. Nor spiritual dogma to crush our sense of self. Nor do we allow the powerful to demonize us. It's important not to lose ourselves here. Real change happens from a place of self embodiment, not in frantic action. Finding safety, belonging, and authentic rest on our own can feel overwhelming. I would love to partner with you as you work toward centering self in the midst of this chaos.

I love working with couples and families who wish to break free of unproductive patterns and reconnect with one another on a deeper lever. I see how much our relationships between affect ourselves within. No matter how hurt we've been, how self-protective we are, or how desperate we want to connect, we sometimes get in the way of the very closeness we seek. With compassion and understanding, I work with clients to build on strengths and attain more secure loving bonds in their relationships.

Something shifted, maybe gradually or maybe all at once, and now it feels like you're
carrying more than you were built to hold. You're still showing up, still functioning, but there's a quiet exhaustion underneath it all. You've been managing, but managing isn't the same as living. Whether anxiety has you looping on worst-case scenarios, depression has dimmed the things that used to matter, or trauma is showing up in ways you can't quite name — you deserve more than just getting through the day. There is a way through, and you don't have to figure it out alone.

I’m a therapist who is willing to walk beside you on the darkest stretches of your road—and gently shine a light on the thoughts you’re afraid to say out loud. The ones that whisper, “If they really knew me…what I’ve survived… could they still love me?” Or, “Will I ever feel safe again?” "Will anyone ever love me the way I want to be loved?"
I offer more than traditional talk therapy through EMDR and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy). Together, we focus on real, lasting change—not just coping, but moving forward in the way best suited to you and your life one step at a time.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to balance work or school, relationships, family responsibilities, and the pressure to keep it all together. When you add in ADHD, OCD, or the lasting effects of trauma, it can quickly become exhausting. I work with women who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted on the inside. You might notice your mind getting caught in loops, feel constantly on edge, or struggle with tasks that seem like they “shouldn’t” be this hard. You are not broken. Often, there’s a deeper story that hasn’t been fully seen or supported.

Stressed out? Overwhelmed? Wondering how to find your way back to a life you enjoy living instead of just going through the motions? As adult women we tend to take on too much and put everyone and everything before ourselves. We often feel depleted and want life to be different, but we keep doing the same thing. As a college student stress, unhealthy relationships, and poor coping skills become the norm. As a teenager, insecurities, stress, and social media put you on a path filled with anxiety, depression, and self doubt. I'd like to help you get back on track, find some inner peace amidst all the chaos, and have fun along the way.

This experience has allowed me to support students facing anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, family transitions, & school-related stress.

Does your mind feel like it's constantly racing between responsibilities, expectations, and the voice telling you you're not doing enough? You deserve support that understands how your brain actually works—not just generic advice about self-care and balance.

Have you found that talk therapy just doesn’t fully change how you FEEL? Do you experience trauma triggers from the past that immediately send you into a flight, fight, freeze, or fawn response? Do you struggle with a painful childhood that still impacts you today? Are you carrying trauma and anxiety from oppressive systems (racism, religion, sexism, military, etc)? Anxiety and trauma speak a body based language and need a different approach to healing; you can't just talk your way out of it! Your body is tired of carrying the weight of psychological burdens; I can help.

My passion for working with children and adults inspired me to pursue a career in counseling.

When you work with me, you'll always have a safe space to explore your feelings and address the challenges life presents. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist dedicated to supporting you in achieving the best quality of life possible.
