I currently have immediate openings for new clients and would be honored to support you on your journey. Do you struggle with feeling on edge and/or not caring about anything at all? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it should not be so hard to live a better life.

Being a human can be hard. The difficulties life throws us may leave us questioning ourselves or our relationships; however, you don’t have to navigate it all on your own. If you are looking to explore and process your own thoughts and emotions, I strive to create a nonjudgmental space for you to do so. My goal is for you to feel empowered to navigate difficulties with a little more trust in yourself despite past experiences or current circumstances. I primarily work with adults who are facing difficulties related to mood, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma in a therapeutic environment that prioritizes safety and authenticity.

Mental health therapy is healthcare that should be accessible to everyone. It should also be provided in such a way that you can feel comfortable, safe, and supported, even while being challenged. As a therapist, I offer services to clients from diverse backgrounds and identities. With myself being someone who is neurodiverse, biracial, and part of the LGBTQIA+ community in both sexuality and gender, I strive to create and maintain an inclusive environment for all my clients. To this end, my approach to therapy is best described as collaborative, cultivating a therapeutic environment that holds space for your life and experiences.

I'm so glad you have taken the first step in healing! As a therapist, I aim to provide a welcoming, down-to-earth space where you can be your full self - messy, growing, healing, confused, hopeful - all of it. I've always believed that healing happens best when we feel seen and supported without judgement. As a therapist, I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I'll meet you with empathy, honesty, and a sense of humor when you need it. I truly believe that we all have the capacity to feel better, despite our pasts. I'm also a big believer in progress over perfections, and that small steps can lead to big changes.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Our past shapes how we see and respond to the world—but sometimes, it creates pain that lingers. Do you feel anxious, depressed, or struggle with self-worth?
You’re not alone.
Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. That inner voice might whisper that you’re not worthy, that nothing will change, or that you have to carry it all alone. But the truth is—You are worthy. You can begin again. And things can change.

My brain feels out of control & overwhelming. I want to live authentically & be accepted, but self-doubt & fear get in my way. My family/partner is unhealthy at best & abusive at worst. I've lived so much of my life trying to be enough for everyone else that I lost myself in the process. I'm not even sure of who I am anymore. I thought they loved me, but then how could they treat me this way? My relationship feels like a constant rollercoaster. One minute things are great & then it's terrible. Worse, I have no clue how we even got here. It feels like madness. No contact? Limited contact? I just don't know what to do!
