You've been carrying more than most people realize. On the outside, your life might look "fine:. But inside, something feels off- like you're been doing your best to check life's boxes but lost yourself somewhere along the way. A transition, a loss, or the weight of time has left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. As your mind races for answers, "What's wrong with me?" has become a common refrain as things that once felt manageable not feel so difficult. What you want is simple but deeply important: to feel like yourself again, to find purpose, and to move forward with intention and confidence.

It's hard to make changes and it helps to have someone experienced in that process to guide and support you. Optimal healing and growth involve all the parts of the self -- body, mind and spirit. With over 20 years of experience, I offer holistic psychotherapy grounded in the principles established by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, nutritional and integrative medicine for mental health, and yoga therapy for individuals, couples and small groups. Whether you utilize one, some, or all of these approaches, they are designed to help you on your path to vitality, spaciousness and wholeness.

So, you've already done the scariest part of this whole process, which is deciding that you want support and taking action. That takes incredible strength and humility, even if you may not feel that way right now. From here, it's my job to work together with you to find ways to channel that strength towards the goals you have and help reframe the way you're approaching challenges through support, humor, and compassion.

How are various choices, self-beliefs, coping styles, and relationships combined with any mental health challenges in your life impacting you? Are they moving you toward your personal values and goals? Can you readily identify what those even are? By seeking to understand past influences, non-functional coping behaviors and core beliefs, and building helpful skills and boundaries, we'll work together towards self-acceptance and forward movement. My approach draws from behavioral change approaches of CBT and DBT modalities as well as person-centered and Adlerian therapies, and am trained in EMDR.

Does it feel as if you are on the outside looking in? Maybe you've noticed some challenges in your relationships, thoughts that feel hard to shake, difficulty knowing how you feel, or moments when trusting yourself feels out of reach. Perhaps you’ve turned to certain habits for comfort, even if they make life a little harder. You are not alone, and healing is possible. Experiences like trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and substance use can sometimes leave you feeling worn out and isolated. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back, discover nurturing ways to cope, and help you reclaim a sense of connection with yourself and others.

Life at times confronts us with problems we cannot solve on our own, like overwhelming or unmanageable thoughts or emotions. Any kind of change, even positive, can be difficult. Therapy can support you on this path and is an investment in yourself that is worthwhile and that you deserve. I provide customized, science-based, and trauma-informed therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, anger, depression, grief, loss, trauma, identity issues, or difficult life transitions. I can help you better understand and accept yourself and work on those pieces that keep you from living your desired life and that you would like to see changed.

If you feel held back by past experiences or caught in patterns that no longer serve you, psychotherapy can offer a meaningful path forward. Many of the people who seek my work are thoughtful and self-aware, yet find themselves repeating emotional or relational patterns that feel difficult to change. Psychoanalytic and depth-oriented psychotherapy creates a space to explore how unconscious dynamics and past experiences may be shaping your present life. I work well with thoughtful adults, creatives, immigrants, and therapists who are interested in deeper psychological work.

I am passionate about exploring various aspects of identity and how the intersections of those identities impact our experiences in the world.

“The single most remarkable fact of human existence is how hard it is for human beings to be happy” is a quote that has resonated with me for years. Sometimes things happen to us. Sometimes we learn to cope with life in ways that aren’t helpful in the long-term. It is HARD to be happy and fulfilled in today's world, but I can help you get there. My goal is to help clients embrace the full spectrum of who they are and engage in meaningful behavior change that creates a life worth living.

Let’s be real: Life can feel like a lot. Between navigating relationships, overthinking texts, battling burnout, and trying to figure out what "self-care" actually means (spoiler: it’s not just face masks and bubble baths), it’s easy to feel like everything is just too much. That’s where I come in.

Do you find yourself caught in thought spirals that feel overwhelming and hard to stop? Are you looking for more from therapy than just being asked, “How does that make you feel?” You’re not alone—and working with me can offer meaningful tools for change. My approach is warm, curious, collaborative, and empowering. To start, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship to create a sense of safety and trust. From there, we’ll work together to develop practical strategies that help you better understand and manage your thoughts and feelings.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your anxiety, depression, ADHD, or the weight of questioning who you are, I'd love to help you accept yourself, feel better, and find more solutions. Maybe you’re exhausted from holding everything in, struggling to know yourself, trying to survive each day, numbing out, feeling stuck, or so frustrated by the tasks you just can't seem to finish. Your pain is real and therapy can help. Therapy is a space where I listen without judgement and you can show up exactly who you are. You can be open and honest about how hard life is and we’ll explore what’s really happening inside of you - under your surface.

Our world is built on norms that can be confining, especially against marginalized identities, queerness, and neurodivergence. My goal is to provide a space where you can be your most authentic self, including the parts that may feel difficult or uncomfortable. I strive to encourage honesty, challenge when needed, and create meaningful change. I believe that the core of successful therapy lies in the collaborative bond between therapist and client. Through a genuine connection built on empathy, respect, and humor, I aim to challenge and reframe our contexts, opening new ways of operating and taking control where you can.

Anxious, worried, overwhelmed, exhausted. Your brain is always trying to solve one problem or another, trying to find the best & way to get everything done without anyone else having to give anything up except for you. You’re the one who everyone thinks has it all together, and you work so hard to make it look that way. You want to be able to enjoy time with your family, laugh with your friends, and spend time on hobbies. But your brain is always on, being the coordinator & caregiver that everyone else needs. You know something needs to change, but you’re worried about what that may look like, and how others may be affected.
