“I feel like everyone else knows where they’re going in life, and I’m just lost.” “I’m exhausted from trying to meet others’ expectations while ignoring my own needs.” “I’m confused about who I am and hesitant to be honest about my emotions.” My goal is to help you embrace your unique strengths and live a life that feels meaningful. I use a person-centered approach and am currently completing my internship while working toward my LMFT.

“My thoughts keep racing,” “I feel isolated,” “I know the kind of person I want to be, but I can’t seem to reach them.” “I carry anxiety and depression that I believe stem from my past.” These feelings are difficult, but you don’t have to face them by yourself. I have worked with autistic youth and adults, as well as queer communities across different ages and backgrounds. If you are struggling, I am here to help guide you forward.

Do you feel overwhelmed at times? Do you find it hard to build and maintain meaningful connections? Do you sometimes feel distinctly different from those around you? Has past trauma shaped your experience of depression or anxiety? I’m here with you. My passion for therapy comes from the space it creates to connect with others as we move through life’s highs and lows. We are wired for connection, and no one should have to navigate the journey alone. I would be grateful to walk with you as you process your mental and emotional story and empower you to create a narrative that feels true to who you are.

Getting in touch with your emotional self can feel overwhelming and scary. As your therapist, I will create a safe and supportive space for you to engage deeper with your thoughts and emotions. I believe that we are all experts in our lives, and with the right support and tools, we have the power to make changes to create a meaningful and enriching life. It is crucial to acknowledge the significant role that social, cultural, and environmental factors play in our overall health and ability to cope with stress. My approach combines elements of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I support you as you navigate toward your ideal life and provide tools to overcome difficult life experiences, expectations and relational or cultural stressors. Our work will help you develop and maintain healthy relationships, develop positive coping strategies, shift thinking and behaviors, or come into a confident self. My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be.

“I can’t stop worrying.” “My past keeps showing up in my present.” “I feel disconnected from myself and unsure of what I want.” When these thoughts repeat, it can feel exhausting and lonely. You are not broken—and you are not alone. Therapy can be a place to slow things down and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

“I keep showing up for everyone else, but I’m not sure who’s showing up for me.” “I’m exhausted from trying to earn everyone's love.” “It’s not that I want to disappear—I just wish I could rest from existing for a while.” If you can relate, please know you’re not alone. Life’s challenges can leave even the strongest people feeling disconnected. But healing begins the moment you choose to do something different. My role is to help you reconnect with what matters most to you and build the confidence to live more fully. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back and build healthier patterns grounded in self-compassion.

You might be tired of feeling like you have to manage yourself all the time; talk yourself down, stay productive, keep the peace, keep it together. Many people I work with look like they’re functioning on the outside, but inside feel stuck in patterns they can’t fully explain: overthinking, people-pleasing, shutting down, feeling “too much,” or struggling to trust themselves and others.

I became a therapist because I genuinely want to provide a space for people to show up just as they are. You don’t need to feel a certain way, say anything specific, or meet any goal on my timeline. When we can sit back and accept ourselves as we are, we begin to hear things we couldn’t while trying to fix or fight parts of ourselves. I believe even the most challenging parts of us have protective purposes—they deserve curiosity, not shame.
