We all deserve a space that is exclusively ours. I support ages 12 and up through anxiety, OCD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with high-achieving, constantly thinking, people-pleasing clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out from holding it all together. My style is collaborative, authentic, and direct—helping you break patterns, set boundaries without guilt, and create change that actually lasts. Trained in Perinatal Mental Health and Exposure and Response Prevention; I specialize in women's health & OCD.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I specialize in working with folks that are struggling with life changes and transitions, often times accompanied with anxiety, depression, or a general sense of overwhelm. I also work with those looking to soften their perfectionist tendencies and work towards a more mindful attitude of "progress not perfection".
I know how difficult and big of a decision it can be to begin with a new therapist. Please do not hesitate to reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation to ensure we're a good fit. I look forward to chatting with you!
