Accepting new patients! Just living in today’s world can be difficult and exhausting. Many of us feel as if we are just “getting by.” We all struggle with our mental health, from daily conflict with others, feeling frustrated or irritable, painful past experiences(trauma), struggles with work and family, and anxious thoughts. These issues can hinder our ability to heal and grow. We can all use help at times, even if we don’t know how to ask for it. I provide comprehensive support and direct feedback to help guide you through this difficult journey, to reach a path that leads to healing, understanding, acceptance, and resolution.

I have over ten years of experience supporting older adults, adults, transitional youth, and teens.
Many of us spend years becoming exceptionally good at anticipating everyone else's needs, often learning to ignore our own along the way. In our busy culture, especially when those we love need our help, productivity and people-pleasing can easily feel more valuable than rest and reflection. I have seen in many of my clients, and felt deeply in my own life, just how exhausting and unstable this way of being can become.
I love working with caregivers and emotionally intuitive, empathetic individuals who find themselves feeling anxious or burnt-out from consistently prioritizing others above themselves.

Are you facing challenges in your relationships, struggling with communication, or working through conflict?
Maybe you’ve experienced trauma and are seeking a therapist who truly understands the complexities of healing. Perhaps ADHD, major life transitions, or ongoing stress are making things feel overwhelming.
Many people come to therapy after trying different ways to feel better—only to find that those strategies haven’t quite worked. That’s okay. Therapy is a space to explore new perspectives, expand your toolkit, and create meaningful change in how you think, feel, and live.
