I have a passion for working with clients who are seeking to reconnect with their inner trust and build meaningful relationships. I support people who have been through difficult times in their lives, who feel lonely and disconnected. I help clients understand how they build coping mechanisms that perhaps are no longer serving them. Together, we will learn new, healthier ways to connect with yourself and others. I also work with couples to increase relationship satisfaction through understanding each other and building communication skills.

You’re emotionally intelligent and deeply reflective, yet something inside still feels just out of reach. Despite your awareness, relationships can leave you feeling unseen or disconnected. You sense that the missing piece isn’t more outward effort, but a deeper connection, both to yourself and others. You want to experience relationships as sacred ground for growth, where honesty, awareness, and your connection to your Self become the teachers. You're ready to explore how the things you've been through are keeping you from getting what you're longing for. Together, we’ll explore how your inner world shapes your outer experiences.

If you feel like your brain just won’t turn off - like there are millions of tabs open and no clear way to close them, you’re not alone. Maybe you find yourself replaying conversations, questioning your choices, or carrying expectations that feel heavier than they should. Family dynamics, cultural pressures, or past experiences may have shaped your self-perception, and now you simply want to feel more grounded, connected, and at ease. Therapy can be a space to pause, sort through what’s been weighing on you, and begin to build the clarity, confidence, and sense of self you’ve been searching for.

Life often asks us to perform at our best—whether in school, sports, career, or relationships. But high standards and constant pressure can leave you feeling drained, stuck, or disconnected from what really matters. You may be pushing forward on the outside while quietly battling stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or self-doubt on the inside. Therapy is a space where you can slow down, reflect, and rediscover balance. Together we’ll explore the patterns holding you back, strengthen what’s already working, and build strategies that help you feel both grounded and capable of moving toward your goals with confidence.

Welcome, you are at the right place. Deciding to ask for help is the first step. It is hard to imagine that life could be different as many of the things you are dealing with have been part of you for a long time. What if we told you that things could be different and you could have a life where your needs matter, your relationships are healthier, and you can see yourself with compassion and love? We can break with old-generation traumas (things that make us feel crazy) and learn to have healthier lives. We can move from a culture of survival to a culture of the pursuit of happiness.

I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based approaches, and Motivational Interviewing to help you explore anxious thoughts, process painful experiences, and shift relational patterns with intention.
Anxiety can leave you overthinking conversations, questioning your role in relationships, or feeling unsettled during life transitions. I hold a Master’s in Counseling (MC) from Palo Alto University (2021), and my path into this field began with my own desire to better understand myself and the dynamics of relationships through personal therapy. That experience inspired a genuine commitment to sit with adults (18+) in vulnerable moments, and I remain continually inspired by clients and colleagues as I deepen the care I provide.

Working with couples and sensitive, intuitive, and creative women is both my speciality and deeply held joy. Couples struggling to find their way back to each other amidst unhelpful cycles and tricky transitions; women ready to explore the layers of their inner landscapes, untangle stories they've carried, and reclaim their authenticity. Mine is a creative, compassionate space to channel reconnection with the parts of you that have felt silenced. Through soft embodiment, intuitive listening, and earnestly tending vulnerable truths, we’ll rewrite old stories and craft new visions for living and connection.
