I have specific experience working with individuals with severe food allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, and chronic pain. As a therapist with personal experience living with food allergies and chronic disease, I love working with individuals who are navigating these complex challenges. I also enjoy working with tweens, teens, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, life transitions, depression, fear of abandonment, and past traumas. I work through an intersectional lens, considering each client’s overlapping facets of identity better to understand their role in their experience.

My goal is to help my clients break free from pain and embark on a journey towards personal growth. I know how it feels to be stuck in pain, and I know how amazing and life changing it feels to find a way out. I believe that this process is what builds beautiful, strong resilient people. My mission is to guide individuals like you along this path of self-discovery and resilience-building. I believe that this journey involves two key steps. First, we must process and heal from past pain. Then we can embark on an exploration of creativity, nature, spirituality, connection and pursuing your personal values and passions.

Did you grow up feeling "too sensitive" or "dramatic"? Maybe you felt shame for just being yourself? Does it feel hard not to sacrifice your own needs in order to keep others comfortable or impossible to even identify what your needs are in the first place? If any of this sounds like you, I understand. I specialize in working with adults healing from complex trauma, emotionally immature parents, and narcissistic abuse. The majority of my clients identify as LGBTQ+ and/or neurodivergent as I do myself.

Do you feel tortured by intrusive thoughts? Is your life ruled by a never-ending series of 'what-if's', each more horrifying than the last? You've been hiding your struggle behind a veil of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and other self-sacrificing behaviors, but it's getting exhausting. You're tired of the rituals, the constant reassurance seeking, and the disconnect you feel from your body and the humans around you. Trying to talk yourself out of a thought spiral only seems to make things worse and you're not sure how to move forward. It doesn't have to be like this! Calm is closer than you think.

Life often presents difficult obstacles that can stand between who you are and who you want to be. Some obstacles may be unhealthy patterns in your relationships, overwhelming sadness or worry, not feeling good enough, or a loss of direction or purpose in your life.

My approach to therapy is based on developing a deep emotional connection with the people in our lives, improving self-esteem, accessing inner resources to cope with difficulties and learning to have compassion for ourselves and others. Although therapy can be very helpful when we are going through a difficult time in our lives, it is also an important self-care practice. Just like we attend yoga or the gym to take care of our bodies, taking care of our emotional and mental health is just as important. For me, wellness needs to be holistic, both body and mind need to be treated to truly achieve inner peace and fulfillment.

Everyone has within them the ability to attain personal growth by gaining insight into their unique strengths. During times of stress, this inner resilience can be called upon to guide them in discovering purpose and meaning in their lives, improving interpersonal relationships, and adapting to healthier patterns of relating to others. I take a collaborative, yet challenging approach in assisting children, adults, couples, and families on their path towards positive change. I use a solution-focused exploration of current struggles to help them break unhealthy patterns and develop coping skills and a sense of hope and strength.

I work with motivated clients who find themselves feeling "stuck", stressed, and fatigued and are looking for a way out of destructive or unhelpful cycles. I value a depth-approach to therapy that identifies patterns in your life that are no longer serving you so that you may feel more free and confident. Starting therapy can be daunting and can come with many taboos, but alongside a skilled therapist, you will find the resolution and clarity you've been looking for. I bring a grounded presence that will allow you to safely explore areas of your life you may have not looked at before to have you feeling more in control of your life.
