My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They may struggle with anxiety, relationship challenges, people-pleasing, perfectionism, low self-worth, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Often, these difficulties are rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, or experiences that taught them to survive rather than thrive. Together, we explore the patterns, emotions, and nervous system responses driving these struggles. My goal is to help clients heal at the root, build self-trust, create healthier relationships, and move through life with greater confidence, connection, and authenticity.

I work with teens (13+) and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, veterans' concerns, and life's challenges using CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, EMDR, and Gestalt-informed care.
Within the therapeutic space, I strive to provide a level of support and understanding that empathizes with the difficulties someone is facing given that these circumstances play an important role in the process of change and personal development. In this regard, it is not about transforming the darkness into light but rather allowing them to coexist.
