Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself? Many clients come to my practice struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or life transitions that feel hard to manage alone. Some feel stuck in patterns they want to change, while others feel overwhelmed by stress in relationships, at work, in school, or in family life. Therapy offers a space to slow down, talk openly, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing.

With over ten years of experience supporting the transgender community, I also specialize in the psychological journey to feel at home in one’s body.
Effective therapy changes everything. As an LCSW and the founder of Phoenix Mental Wellness, I work with adults who are exhausted by the ongoing struggle with food, weight, and their bodies. If change feels confusing or emotionally charged, please know it is not a lack of willpower. These patterns are often rooted in trauma, attachment, and nervous system responses. Together, we look beneath the surface at the emotional and physiological factors driving these patterns so change can come from understanding rather than self-blame. You do not have to carry this alone. We work together to find your way forward.

As a psychotherapist, my passion lies in creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their journeys. I am a trauma-informed, whole-person-focused clinician who believes in the innate capacity for healing within each individual.

I honor the unique stories and experiences that shape each person, acknowledging both the struggles and strengths they carry. Through therapy, I aim to provide a space where clients can cultivate lasting fulfillment and personal growth.

My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a space where a person can explore their inner world with curiosity and openness, and is also free of judgement. Therapy is a place where one can come to understand themself more fully and experience being deeply listened to. Before becoming a clinician, I worked in independent high schools as a theater director and English teacher. I also served as a backcountry trip leader, dorm parent, and advisor. These experiences taught me about the power of story, creativity, and collaboration, all of which I bring into the therapeutic space.
