Do you find yourself spiraling? Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. In therapy with me, we'll talk honestly about what's going on, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build on the strengths you already have. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you. I offer LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent-affirming therapy for people navigating anxiety, depression, academic or career burnout, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I especially enjoy working with Gen Z and Millennials who may be exploring their identity, navigating big life transitions, or feeling weighed down by shame.
I also believe mental health is about more than thoughts alone. Stress and trauma often show up in the body, too. Drawing from somatic therapy, DBT, and mindfulness-based CBT - I work with my clients to develop body awareness, practice mindfulness, and tailor coping skills for a more grounded life.
Your whole story is welcome here, including the messy, tender, and complicated parts. This space may be a good fit if you: • Feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stretched too thin • Are struggling with anxiety, burnout, or a sense of hopelessness • Are unsure of where to start and need support. Reach out for a free consultation, let's see if we're a good fit!

Because of my own experience with anxiety, I take a somatic approach that focuses on the mind-body connection. Trauma doesn't just live in our memories - it often shows up as tension, stress, or feeling constantly on edge. Learning to notice these sensations can help release what's been stuck and create a new, more compassionate story with appropriate coping skills.
