My website
I’m an LCSW with a decade of experience working with adults and a special interest in supporting young adults. My approach blends ACT, CBT, and IFS and is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. I work with adults who feel stuck — whether they’re navigating health issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, career challenges, or relationship struggles. Many of my clients feel like they “should” be doing more to care for themselves, but something keeps getting in the way. Others are doing everything they’re supposed to, yet still carry a nagging sense that something's missing.
Together, we explore and untangle the emotional blocks that keep you feeling stuck. We shift from self-judgment to acceptance, and build sustainable habits rooted in your values. I help clients regulate emotions, reconnect with what matters most, and take small, meaningful steps — even when life feels hard.
At the heart of my work is the belief that your core self is already wise, compassionate, and capable. Maybe you’ve glimpsed that self before — or maybe you’ve never quite felt in touch with them. Either way, our work is about helping you return to that grounded, empowered version of you — so you can finally live the life that feels like your own.
