Whether you're a college student trying to manage academic pressure, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, or an adult navigating life transitions, burnout, or unresolved trauma, you don’t have to face it alone. Life can feel heavy, especially when past experiences start to impact your present—but with the right support, things can get better. I also offer telehealth sessions to fit your schedule and comfort level. To make therapy more accessible, I also partner with Thrizer, a service that helps utilize out of network benefits, and typically allows you to only pay your copay at the time of session.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand and shift thought patterns that keep you stuck, EMDR to process and desensitize traumatic memories, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you explore and heal the inner parts of you that carry pain, shame, or fear.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, identity, people-pleasing, or simply feeling "off," I offer a safe space to unpack your story, find clarity, and build the emotional tools to move forward with confidence. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.
