Our clients present with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body image concerns, OCD, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions .
Life is full of “shoulds.” Family, friends, and society often have a very clear idea of the path we’re supposed to be on, but we believe that peace and empowerment lie in finding your own path- worrying less about the expectations of others and more about what you want your life to look like. Taking an alternative path or changing route along the way is difficult. Therapy can help as you strive to be true to yourself on the journey. We offer a space where individuals learn to utilize their personal strengths to live their most meaningful lives, develop fulfilling relationships, and find true liberation.

I have experience helping people address complex trauma, post traumatic stress, relationship concerns, identity exploration, suicidality, self-harm, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and OCD.
I believe that many of our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving make sense given our context and experiences. I encourage clients to explore both their past and present in order to better understand which patterns work for them and which they’d like to adjust. By collaborating with clients, I help them to identify their strengths and build new skills and insights for managing life’s stressors. I also incorporate mindfulness and movement practices based on client need and interest.

I specialize in anxiety disorders, disorderly eating patterns, childhood trauma exposure, and obsessive compulsion tendencies.
I became a clinician because I know what it feels like to search for the highest version of yourself, and I wanted to provide a space where people can feel free to explore their true identity, while feeling valued and heard. Therapy to me is about connecting with your inner self, ultimately leading to healing and power within. For me, one of the most rewarding parts about being a therapist is watching my clients grow and achieve their personal goals, big or small. Through my experience working with a wide variety of communities and individuals, I have come to realize that anyone is capable of healing and inner peace.
