Only accepting Private Pay clients at this time — Do you find yourself always empathizing with others, but struggle being kind to yourself? You sit with self-blame, non-stop thoughts, & heartache, just wishing to feel loved and comfortable in your own skin. You don’t have to struggle alone! I specialize in empowering deep-feeling/ deep-thinking, self-reflective, and growth-oriented individuals who feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed in life and relationships and have had depression, anxiety, and/or a difficult childhood, to develop a stronger sense of self and foster a deeper, genuine, and secure connection with themselves and others
Clients describe me as warm, non-judging, & easy to talk to. I provide you with a safe space to share your thoughts/feelings, listen attentively, and make a customized plan for your needs together. I use a trauma, culture, and identity-sensitive eclectic approach blending evidence-based modalities, like CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic.
Sessions are online and available 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends. I accept insurance and private pay. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again—or discover who that self truly is… schedule a free consultation appointment with me from my website or directly call or email me. Let me support you in your journey.
