Do you ever feel lonely even when you are not alone? You might have friends, a job, responsibilities, and still feel misunderstood, out of place, or like you're performing in every room you enter. Forming close friendships or romantic relationships may feel harder than it “should.” You may overthink conversations, replay interactions, or quietly wonder why connection feels easier for everyone else. I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, loneliness, social stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and. much more. Together, we'll slow things down and make sense of the patterns that are keeping you stuck!
My style is warm, relational, and direct. I translate complex inner experiences into simple, clear language. I don’t rely on heavy therapy jargon — I often use metaphors and everyday examples to make emotions easier to understand and work with. Even in individual therapy, I consider the broader family and relational systems shaping your experience.
Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to perform. You get to show up as you are. Over time, clients often feel more confident, more grounded, and more able to build relationships that feel authentic instead of exhausting. If you're ready to feel more understood — and to understand yourself more clearly — I’d love to connect.

In our first session, we'll talk about what's been wearing you down and what you hope might change—no perfect words required. My focus is helping you understand what's happening inside you so it stops running the background commentary of your life. Along the way, you won't just feel understood by me—you'll better understand yourself, and things will start to feel more manageable.
