Not currently accepting new clients— Welcome! I work with clients navigating anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and overwhelm. Many struggle with procrastination, feeling "out of control" of their emotions, or holding themselves to unrealistic standards. Often caretakers or people-pleasers, they may feel burnt out and tie their worth to what they do for others. Together, we will work toward balance, self-acceptance, and letting go of fear of judgment or failure.
I aim to provide a safe, warm, and empowering space for clients. While I view the therapeutic relationship as the most meaningful tool to affect change, I utilize several therapeutic approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I can acknowledge how isolating and exhausting it is to feel stuck in a cycle of anxiety and self-doubt. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Together, we can work on building a more accepting relationship with yourself and ability to sit with discomfort. I am here to listen and support you on your journey toward your goals.

I utilize client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. This looks like building insight by exploring your experiences, emotions, values and beliefs. It often includes cultivating flexibility in thoughts and responding to discomfort with curiosity and building tolerance and acceptance, rather than avoidance.
