Is anxiety or perfectionism impacting your day-to-day life? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated by patterns you can’t seem to shift? Are substances, your own or a loved one's, taking up more space in your life than you want? You’re not alone. In therapy, we will explore what matters to you, identify patterns that keep you stuck, and discover ways to respond that feel more aligned with your values. I am here to walk alongside you in that process with curiosity, compassion, and honesty. I believe that meaningful change is possible, and that you don’t have to do it alone.

I offer a supportive space where you can be understood without judgment, speak openly about what’s been hard, and begin building skills to respond more flexibly to life’s challenges. I specialize in working with adults who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns related to anxiety, perfectionism, and complex relationships with substances.

Whether you are managing your own mental health or are the caregiver of someone struggling, I will work with you and hold space for you as you find clarity, steadier coping, and a healthier relationship with yourself. Book online today for a free consultation, and we’ll get started together.

I work with clients who struggle with depression and anxiety as well as those who are curious about the role of substance use in their life. These things can unsettle us and make coping a bit harder. I also work with people who are curious about their substance use and want a non-judgmental approach to understanding substances in their lives.

I draw on ACT, DBT, feminist therapy, and parts-based work to help you build a more compassionate relationship with your thoughts and emotions. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings, we focus on understanding what your inner experiences are communicating and responding with greater care and flexibility, while supporting choices aligned with your values—even when that feels hard.
