Reaching out to a therapist is a significant step, especially when you’re used to managing everything on your own. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without the pressure to have it all figured out. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges in isolation; I am here to offer the support and guidance you deserve. I support teens, adults and older adults navigating the weight of high expectations in their personal lives, careers, or education. Many of my clients are managing life transitions, trauma, identity development, or the stress of balancing family and independence.
I provide a grounded, affirming space to help you process your experiences, heal from burnout, and find clarity. Therapy with me is both reflective and active. I offer a supportive, intentional space where we can use traditional talk therapy or incorporate music and art to aid expression. For a nontraditional setting, I offer walk-and-talk sessions along
the beach. My goal is for you to feel empowered to navigate life’s transitions without the weight of perfectionism. Together, we’ll work toward building a sense of clarity and confidence, allowing you to manage high expectations while staying grounded. Ultimately, I want you to feel seen, understood, and equipped with the tools to live authentically.

I work with clients who experience grief and loss, intergenerational trauma, or the pressures of high achievement. I also support those who simply need a safe, confidential space to talk and be heard. In initial sessions, I explore your concerns and collaborate to create a treatment plan tailored to your goals. Sessions usually begin weekly and move to biweekly as you notice ongoing progress.
