I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, panic, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and questions of identity, meaning, and belonging. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is holistic, relational, and culturally attuned, integrating evidence-based therapy with mind-body awareness to help you reconnect with clarity, resilience, and a greater sense of wholeness. Together, we’ll better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
I help clients move through anxiety, trauma, addiction, and life transitions by combining evidence-based therapy with practical mind-body approaches. When helpful, we may incorporate breath, posture, and awareness practices to calm overwhelm, reconnect with your body, and build greater steadiness, clarity, and confidence in daily life.
If life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or disconnected right now, you do not have to navigate it alone. Therapy offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater clarity and steadiness. If my approach resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to explore whether we might be a good fit.

While I offer expertise in many areas, I excel in helping you with issues related to anxiety, depression, and trauma at work, in your personal life, and with family. I specialize in furthering the search for meaning, value, and self-appreciation in life which are often at the core of these problems. My clients often feel more balanced and "more themselves" within two months.
