Do you feel like you’re stuck in constant anxiety mode, thought loops and feeling burnt out? Are you feeling run down by perfectionism and self-doubt? Maybe you feel overwhelmed by your own emotions and the pressure to make everyone else happy. Always having to be “the responsible one,” has become exhausting. You’re ready to stop being so hard on yourself. Through compassionate therapy tailored to your needs, you can learn to quiet your inner critic, break free from people-pleasing patterns, build self-esteem, and find freedom from anxiety and OCD. Take the first step towards cultivating a fulfilling, empowered life.
I specialize in supporting women and older teens (age 16+) find relief from anxiety & perfectionism, OCD, boundary struggles, and never feeling "good enough." My style is warm, creative, and collaborative. I love helping deep feelers and thinkers find emotional balance, blending depth work and practical tools to help you thrive.
I know it takes courage to start therapy; I’m glad you’re here. My approach is holistic and culturally sensitive, focused on understanding your unique story and all the parts that make up who you are. Together, we’ll heal past wounds, build emotional resilience, and create real change. If you're ready to take that step, I’d be honored to come alongside you!

I work with women struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, and perfectionism related to childhood trauma. We explore the impact of family dynamics on patterns, identify experiences contributing to your symptoms and negative core beliefs, and use EMDR to process trauma. I also use ERP to help you find freedom from OCD so your life doesn't feel ruled by obsessions and compulsions anymore.

I primarily integrate IFS to explore and heal your internal parts and wounds, with EMDR to reprocess traumatic memories contributing to core negative beliefs. I use ERP to help you break the cycle of OCD, reduce anxiety, and improve your quality of life. In therapy, you'll gain insights in a supportive and collaborative environment, experiencing emotional release, and less self-judgment.
