I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, low self-worth, self-esteem challenges, codependency, boundary-setting, dating, relationship issues, and the lasting effects of growing up with emotionally immature parent(s).
Many of my clients look successful on the outside but feel stuck. They find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, and questioning their worth. Many grew up with a parent who was critical or emotionally immature, and now struggle with boundaries, self-trust, and anxiety in relationships. Others are navigating the impact of a more recent event like a difficult breakup, accident, illness, or loss that they just can’t seem to move past. Longing to address these issues, my clients are seeking insight, healing, and empowerment.

Although I am comfortable working with many concerns, I am most passionate about providing therapy in areas related to anxiety, depression, codependency, addiction, life transitions, grief/loss, and relationships.
I provide tangible skills as tools to provide change, and then guide my clients to understand a deeper level of themselves, answering those "why" questions in order to encourage acceptance and self-compassion.
