Are you struggling to feel good enough about yourself despite your accomplishments? Do 'what if' thoughts constantly spin in your head? Do you always put others before yourself, leaving you feeling exhausted and resentful? Are you afraid of judgment, rejection, and disappointment? Do you find yourself easily overwhelmed or holding high standards for yourself or others? Have you been feeling like you're running on empty, with absolutely nothing left to give? Do you have any unfinished business from your past? If you can relate to any of these, you’ve come to the right place.
My passion is helping anxious adults regain a sense of control, empowering perfectionists and high-achievers to overcome self-sabotage and reach full potential, and helping people-pleasers and self-doubters cultivate self-respect and self-trust. My work focuses on helping clients understand their inner turmoil and improve their relationship with themselves.
If you choose to work with me, we won't just talk about your week session after session. We'll focus on active, transformative work together. While personal growth can be challenging and emotional at times, it leads to lasting healing. You're not alone; I'll support you every step of the way on this journey. Reach out to me today to see if we're a good fit.

If we only focus on symptom management on the surface level, the outcome tends to be short-term with high relapse rate. So my goal is to not only provide you with the tools to manage current symptoms, but most importantly, to help you identify and address the root cause leading up to present concerns so that you can achieve long-term healing.
