“I should be better than this.” That critical voice can feel relentless, especially when careers, relationships, and expectations all collide. Maybe you’re burnt out, stuck in comparison, doomscrolling late at night, or repeating the same painful relationship patterns. You might even feel ashamed for needing help, telling yourself you should be able to handle this alone. If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I use my personal, educational, and professional experiences and strong attunement to my intuition to guide my therapy style. My clients describe me as caring, personable, gentle, and real. My sessions are collaborative, empowerment-based, and include moments of humor. Due to my value of cultural humility, I use holistic (mind-body-spirit-soul), trauma-informed, and social justice approaches to establish a soulful connection and unique healing experience for each person I support. Working with diverse populations and mental health settings (i.e. college, inpatient, healthcare, etc.) also allows me to be adaptable to each client.
