I specialize in helping individuals who appear to be functioning well on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, overthinking, self-criticism, or persistent low mood. Many individuals I work with are capable, responsible people who hold themselves to high standards and feel constant pressure to perform, often leaving little space for rest or self-compassion. Over time this can lead to burnout, rumination, and feeling like nothing is ever good enough. My goal is to help individuals develop greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and resilience so they can navigate challenges with more clarity, confidence, and peace.

Whatever you’re feeling right now, whether it’s anxiety, sadness, jealousy, anger (or all of the above!), is just part of being human. No emotion is inherently “bad,” but they can negatively affect how we function in our personal, professional, and academic lives if we don’t know how to manage and express them appropriately. If this sounds like you and you want to make some changes but have no idea where to start, I can help.

The world doesn’t feel safe anymore, does it? I hear you, feel you. There is allot of uncertainty out there, fear, betrayal. The world burns.
I have this thing I read to myself sometimes, let me read a bit to you while you are here, looking for someone safe, someone to trust.
“You say that your sky has been changing lately. That you’re tired and broken. That the answers you thought you found don’t seem to work right anymore,. We’ve been down these sad roads a hundred times before..”
I am safe. You will have to decide how safe, but I’m betting you can figure it out.
I work with who you are, inside….the real you.

I try to create a light-hearted and non-judgemental environment that allows individuals to build confidence and autonomy while gaining back control over mental health struggles. It's important to me that people feel supported as they navigate a journey of personal growth. Oftentimes, people are nervous to share thoughts or worries they have had for years without talking to someone about it. I challenge people to take the risk to open up and work to solve difficulties that have come up, to make enjoying life just a little bit easier.

Life is shaped by our thoughts, and while change can feel daunting, it also offers the opportunity for growth and transformation. Embracing change is not only about welcoming the unknown but also about releasing the past and letting go of what no longer serves us. As a licensed trauma therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate this very process.

My greatest privilege and joy in life is helping people move through suffering, lack of clarity, and the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I do this through implementing empirically supported therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and interventions drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy. I firmly believe that while coping skills can be helpful, the deeper work of therapy lies in getting to the root of the patterns, wounds, and experiences that shape how we think, feel, behave, and relate to others.

My therapy style usually works within a person-centered, relational and cognitive-behavioral framework. I am going to ask about you, your goals, your family/relationships, your history, and other important life experiences and events so that we can begin to identify and understand thinking, feeling, and behavioral patterns that may or may not be working for you. Together, we can work to decrease your symptoms, such as anxiety and depression through building a therapeutic relationship, and increasing self-awareness and coping skills, which can help improve your self-esteem, personal relationships, and overall satisfaction with life!

When someone is diagnosed with a serious illness, they have no idea what it means for their life, their future, their family, or their career. They have endless questions and nowhere to get answers. Just navigating the medical world feels like learning a whole new language in a foreign city. There are so many life changes, it can feel extremely overwhelming.

My clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who are ready for more than just getting by. Things are shifting. The anxiety hits different now, the overthinking is non stop, and the exhaustion from holding it all together isn't budging to your rest and self care practices. It may feel like you're falling apart but you’re actually outgrowing survival mode. You’ve spent so long performing wellness that you’re finally ready to actually feel well. I work with people navigating relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and the kind of everyday stress that slowly wears you down but doesn’t always have a name.

I specialize in working with kids,teens and families dealing with big emotions, anxiety, ADHD and behavior challenges, as well as moms who feel like they are carrying the mental load of everyone in the house. When kids are melting down, shutting down, or acting out, it is easy for families to feel stuck in cycles of frustration and guilt.
In our work together, we slow things down and figure out what's really driving the behavior underneath the surface. I help kids and teens build emotional regulation skills while giving parents clear, practical tools that actually work in real life.
