Do you appear functional on the outside but inside deal with insecurities? You might feel some "imposter syndrome" even when you are actually quite successful on the outside. Do you worry that your anxiety will interfere with your work or relationships? You might have lingering impacts from things that happened in childhood or in toxic relationships. Most of my clients are women who are overthinkers and people- pleasers and suffer from being very self-critical. I think of our work as "recovery from everything." The positive coping skills we work on are quite similar no matter what has caused you such high levels of anxiety.

Your thoughts about food and wanting to change your body feel constant. Binge eating by the end of the night may feel inevitable. You continually compare your body to others and to the times when you were thinner. You have high expectations for yourself but feel like it's never good enough or that you are failing. Family members may be expressing concern for your well being, or maybe they have no idea how much you are struggling. Issues with binge eating, body hate, bulimia, or anorexia can feel like they're taking over your life.

My approach is to help clients achieve greater self-awareness so they can navigate a path towards meaningful change and ultimately (re)discover a sense of balance and equilibrium within themselves. Together, we work towards achieving an integrated existence, aligning behaviors with our inner narratives and values - especially addressing addiction and alcoholism. I utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients identify and address where they are stuck and help them accept the reality of what they are experiencing and commit towards a new path of living in authentic alignment with their core values

You may be exhausted; trying to hold it all together, overwhelmed by emotions— the over-stimulation and lack of support may be starting to feel unmanageable. Maybe you are noticing more anger, and grieving the calmer, more connected version of you. You may be anxious, or depressed; your body carrying the weight of what your mind already knows. You just want to feel better, to feel like yourself again. I'd love to help.
My clients are often women and mothers navigating chronic health symptoms or hormonal imbalances, often who grew up in families where love sometimes felt conditional or confusing; and just feel stuck.

Finding your way through addiction or the aftermath of trauma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping adults reclaim control of their lives, rediscover their strengths, and build lasting resilience.
I integrate Adlerian theory with evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This approach helps clients understand how early experiences shape current patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build practical skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and healthy relationships.

My patient's are typically overwhelmed, misread, or feel like they’re holding it together with snacks, sarcasm, masking, and muscle memory. They might be a kiddo, tween, teen, neurodiverse person, queer+ adult, diverse family, caregiver, or helping professional navigating grief, shutdowns, burnout, or identity shifts in a world that keeps asking for more. They’re exhausted from explaining, performing, or trying to make others comfortable. Their goal is to feel safe enough to just be, to regulate their nervous system, and to receive care that honors their body, pace, and truth; even when words are hard to find.
