Waitlist for new clients
Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.

I’m a therapist who deeply believes that healing begins with authenticity. Whether you’re navigating the heavy fog of grief, carrying the weight of past trauma, or feeling stuck in the cycle of anxiety and depression, but you deserve a space where you can breathe, process, and simply be human—no pressure, no pretending…just as you are. Therapy isn’t all about being “fixed”, it’s about finding clarity, building emotional strength, and reconnecting with who you truly are. This process can be scary, but you don’t have to do it alone. This is your space. Come as you are—and I’ll meet you there

Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. They may be struggling with sleep, anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, or difficulty managing emotions like anger. I offer a supportive, holistic approach, including CBT-I—the gold standard for insomnia—to help restore natural sleep, ease emotional distress, and create a greater sense of balance in both mind and body. Together, we focus on practical tools and steady, meaningful progress toward feeling more at ease and in control. I am currently accepting new patients and offer virtual evening appointments to support busy schedules.
