Now accepting new clients for telehealth or outdoor sessions. "Ultimately it is the quality of our relationships that will determine the quality of our lives" - Esther Perel. Our relationships are everything. When our connections with each are not what we hope for, it is natural to feel unsteady in the world or even sad or anxious. We often get in our own way from finding and maintaining our deepest connections with those we love. Looking to our past can give us clues to our future and how to "live our best lives" (I think Oprah coined that one!). I offer telehealth sessions as well as outdoor sessions in a local park TBD.

In my therapeutic practice, I integrate the depths of existential and humanistic therapies with a keen focus on the intricacies of racial issues, identity exploration, and the transformative potential of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My approach is underpinned by a commitment to understanding and nurturing the complex web of human connections, guided by attachment-based theory. This perspective enables me to support clients in exploring and healing relational patterns that have been shaped by early attachments and life experiences, fostering healthier and more fulfilling interpersonal relationships.

The strategies that once kept you safe may now be keeping you stuck. Anxiety, depression, and relational challenges can signal that old patterns no longer fit the life you want. Maybe you’ve spent years people-pleasing, prioritizing others, and going along to get along—only to feel drained, like you’ve lost your voice in the process. When we begin to reparent ourselves, things can shift. We stop settling, ask for what we need, recognize when a job or relationship has run its course, and trust ourselves in new ways. As your relationship with yourself changes, so does what’s possible in the world.

Are you struggling at work? Maybe you're having difficulties in your relationships. Or do you want to feel more confident about yourself? During difficult times, I will help you find new ways of managing your life by teaching you coping skills. Do you beat yourself up? Therapy will teach you how to be kind to yourself. I like to do "what works". I pull from different approaches because every client is unique. My style of relating is warm and empathetic. I currently work with individuals, couples, teens, and families with issues including: Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, and Substance abuse.

My primary focus and passion is working with women and underrepresented groups in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields.
Difficult bosses and unsatisfying work can often lead to depression and anxiety without a clear understanding as to "why" we feel different. I commonly help clients explore themes of managing up, communication, managing conflicting expectations, first-generation students, and assertiveness within the context of power differentials.

You desperately want to feel like yourself, but it feels like it’s beyond reach. The stressors you face in the workplace, socially, and even in your family has affected your mood drastically that you don’t even recognize yourself. The hopelessness and worry you feel around failing others and at work causes you to perform and not just be. Hiding your true feelings has become a prison you find yourself trapped in. It does not leave any room for you to voice your needs and allow your vulnerabilities to be seen and acknowledged. The worse part is you don’t even know how you got here. All you know is somethings got to change and soon.

I specialize in helping ambitious Gen-Z and Millennial women ease their high functioning anxiety so that they can feel more connected within themselves and their relationships.
You are driven and ambitious, but lately you have been feeling anxious and disconnected from yourself and your relationships. On the outside, it seems like you have it all together. You excel in your professional and/or academic life, and people perceive you as responsible and hard working. But, on the inside, you feel anxious and on high-alert, searching for what could go wrong. You feel as though your worthiness depends upon your productivity. You’re doing so much, but you feel empty and misaligned. Maybe you even notice anxiety showing up in your romantic life. You crave intimacy and connection, but don't know how to get there.
