Do you find yourself wondering why you feel so guilty all the time? Or why it feels like you do so much for others, but it isn't reciprocated? Perhaps you've even started asking yourself, "is it me? Am I just too much?" I enjoy working with individuals who want to uncover the answers to these questions and address patterns of overthinking, people pleasing, and who want to learn how to create useful boundaries. My clients enjoy working with a practitioner who places a high priority on fostering authentic connections and cultivating strong, meaningful therapeutic relationships.

I work with clients to help them find the answers they seek by guiding introspection, building practical coping tools and skills, and by educating about and working with the body's autonomic nervous system to facilitate holistic change. I use a variety of approaches and practices to meet the unique needs of each client.

I believe that each of us holds the innate potential to create and enjoy a fulfilling existence, free from the suffering that depression and anxiety cause. My intention is to provide a compassionate, accepting, and supportive space for clients to explore and develop the skills and tools necessary to achieve their goals.
