You’ve tried to hold it all together—navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, or the quiet pain of losing your sense of self. You’re the one others lean on, but inside, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like something is missing. You long for a life that actually feels like yours—where you can set boundaries, express your truth, and stop living in survival mode. You want to feel more grounded, more whole, more you—not by fixing yourself, but by finally understanding what’s underneath the pain and creating something meaningful from it.

You may find yourself going it alone and attempting to "stuff" issues such as anxiety, sadness, or relationship problems. I work with my patients to identify specific, well-researched, concrete tools that can help combat mental health issues and empower them to react with more control, awareness, and balance. We'll work as a team to develop skills to gain deeper insights, manage the inevitable barriers you face, and gain more control over your psychological concerns.

At some point in our lives, it is not uncommon to find ourselves struggling with emotional pain and daily life challenges. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous, resilient, and self-directed. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and safe environment, where clients can begin to understand and work through the complexities of their emotional and behavioral challenges. I tailor treatment to my client’s strengths and goals, assisting them in breaking maladaptive coping strategies and poor habits while acquiring effective coping skills, which promote new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others.

I offer therapy to teens, emerging adults, and adults who are navigating relational challenges or experiencing difficulty “launching” into adulthood. We may be a good fit if you’re craving deeper, more meaningful relationships with others. You may be someone who finds themselves living on autopilot, but you’re ready to break old patterns and start living your life with intention. Maybe you feel like a part of you is hidden, yet you want to learn how to become fully known by loved ones. Or – conflict scares you. When a rupture happens, you’re left feeling stuck and you want tools to navigate conflict in a refreshing, healthy way.

Do you ever feel like something is holding you back from fully stepping into your life? Like there’s an emotional block or unresolved pain that keeps resurfacing, even though you’re doing everything right? Often, the root of this struggle lies in the past—your inner child, that younger version of yourself who may have experienced emotional pain, neglect, or confusion that has never fully been addressed. Imagine a life where your inner child feels seen, heard, and nurtured.
