If you’re stuck in patterns of overthinking, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, you’re not alone, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start therapy. I offer a calm space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and learn tools that help you feel more in tune with yourself and your emotions. I often work with women, teens, young adults, and LGBTQIA+ clients navigating anxiety, identity questions, and life transitions. Many people come to therapy wanting to understand themselves better, build confidence, set boundaries, or change patterns that no longer fit.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion to help you sort through what’s getting in the way and reconnect with your own voice. Much of our work focuses on noticing old beliefs, practicing new skills, and building trust in yourself so you can move toward what matters most.

I offer an affirming, inclusive, and trauma-informed space where people of all genders, orientations, identities, body sizes, abilities, and beliefs are welcomed and respected. If you feel we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone or virtual consultation.
