I am a board-certified, Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor specializing in emerging adulthood, grief, sexuality and identity exploration, and anxiety.
I use an integrative approach to help clients explore how their past may be impacting their present, utilizing client-centered tools and insights in the process. In session, I like to lead with an attachment-informed perspective to help clients understand how relationships impact our mental health, and serve as the foundation towards healing.

Sometimes the world can feel impossibly heavy, and it is exhausting to cope with underlying challenges like chronic stressors, depression, anxiety, or trauma. Having a space to fully vent your worries and frustrations without fear or guilt is so important for mental health, but often so difficult to find. I approach my clients with warmth and without judgment. I work to cultivate a collaborative connection with clients, while empowering them to make sustainable, long-term changes, beyond our time together.

I believe that all clients deserve space to be seen and supported to reach their goals, and I work hard to meet clients where they are at. That being said, my ideal client is the person who struggles with anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD (and maybe working on/ maintaining sobriety) who just needs some extra support and guidance to manage the symptoms of those illnesses, as well as all of the emotions of recovery and re-entry (structure, support, etc.). These clients are the ones who often benefit most from stabilization, goal-oriented treatment, and support with emotional regulation and/or building healthy routines.

Maybe it feels like you're holding everything together on the outside, while on the inside things feel like they're unraveling. Anxiety might be making it hard to focus at work or show up in your relationships the way you want to. A major life change might have left you questioning who you are and what comes next. You've been trying to push through — but it's exhausting, and something feels like it needs to shift. You deserve more than just coping. Therapy here is a space where you don't have to have it all figured out. Together, we'll get honest about what's keeping you stuck and take real steps toward feeling like yourself again.

My integrative approach includes EFT, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Sex Therapy, and Somatic Attachment work to promote not just healing, but sustainable, transformative growth.
Elevated Therapy for Emotional Mastery and Relational Depth— The journey to wholeness and intimacy is not always a linear path—but it can be a transformative one. For high-achieving professionals and couples, external success often coexists with internal strain—disconnection, emotional fatigue, or unresolved relational wounds. My work is centered on helping you move beyond performative and perfectionism into deeper connection, emotional mastery, and authentic living.

As children, we are learning from interactions with our parents who we are and how to fit into the world around us. After we leave home, we become our own parents as we continue to learn about ourselves and how to find our own place in life. And when we have families of our own, we are now parents both for our children and for ourselves, as we continue to understand more about who we are. I provide a warm, empathic and accepting environment where you can explore your current life challenges, as well as address past issues that impact your everyday life.
