If you often feel weighed down by shame, self-criticism, or the sense that you’re “not enough,” you’re not alone! Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, or overwhelming discomfort with uncertainty. Some cope through self-harm or feel trapped in cycles of worry, trauma reminders, or intrusive thoughts. My role is to provide evidence-based therapy that helps you find relief, build shame resilience, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and connected. I also strive to be an ally to those navigating marginalization due to identity (ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, gender, or sexuality).
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with an emphasis on building skills, thus giving my clients something to take home with them after each session. I help clients untangle vicious cycles of shame and self-doubt, allowing them to develop a new relationship with uncertainty and reconnect with what matters most.
Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t need to have the perfect words or even know exactly what you need. If you’re ready to take a first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you! Together, we can work toward a life with less shame, more clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

I help clients struggling with anxiety, shame, self-criticism, and perfectionism. A typical treatment plan combines practical skills from CBT and ACT with a focus on loosening shame's grip and building resilience. We'll track progress, adjust strategies as needed, and ensure therapy feels useful every step of the way. The goal is greater confidence, self-acceptance, and freedom to live more fully.
