Are you suffering from high-functioning anxiety, imposter syndrome or being perfectionist or people-pleaser? You might be constantly feeling anxious or on the edge. While you're in need of help, you often end up feeling not heard/understood. You're not alone and it's time to stop problem-solving all by yourself. Finding a therapist is daunting, but with a little step, you will no longer stay alone in the darkness. Together, we will address a roadblock in your life and build emotional and interpersonal skills in your tool box.

Maybe you want to cultivate meaningful relationships. Maybe you want to grow in ways you never thought possible. I am passionate about helping people put the pieces of themselves back together in a way that leaves them feeling inspired and open to life's possibilities.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.
