You feel alone. People rely on you, but you don't know how to get the support you need. It's so much pressure. You may show up confident in spaces like your career, but in your most important relationships, doubt and insecurity creep in. You want more connection, but hold back in ways that leave you feeling unseen, alone, and resentful. You're able to name your emotions, but expressing and feeling them is harder. You have insight into all these patterns - "conflict avoidance", "insecure attachment", "self-abandonment" - and you’re ready to make change.

I focus on building practical coping skills and strengthening problem-solving strategies to help you navigate these challenges.
I offer inclusive, trauma-informed care to individuals experiencing trauma (intergenerational, transgenerational, racial, medical, sexual), grief, disenfranchised grief, identity exploration (race, culture, sexuality, gender), anxiety, stress, depression, suicide, self-harm, life transitions, and exploration of life after diagnosis of disability or illness.
As your therapist, I draw on these experiences to better understand and support yours, following your lead and meeting you where you are. You know yourself best, and together we will tailor sessions to align with your priorities and needs. Whatever brings you to therapy, I encourage openness, full self-expression, and a focus on what matters most to you.

You might be doing well on paper, working, handling responsibilities, showing up for others, yet still feel stuck in the same emotional or relationship patterns. Maybe relationships feel harder than they should, closeness feels uncomfortable, or you notice yourself overthinking when things start to matter. I work with adults who want to understand themselves better and make changes in how they relate to others. Much of the work focuses on how past relationships shape trust, boundaries, emotional reactions, and what feels safe/unsafe in connection. These patterns often show up in dating relationships, family dynamics, or friendships.

If you’ve noticed parts of yourself feeling out of sync—where old ways of coping once made sense but now leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—I would be honored to work alongside you as you explore what comes next.

At the same time, we will make room for what feels authentic to you, what feels misaligned, and what you may be longing to change. I bring warmth and a grounded sense of humor into the work, and I invite you to bring your full self into the process.
