Life is tough, precious, challenging, and full of possibilities. Yet, too often we find ourselves in survival mode just managing the overwhelming moments. Problem is, this pulls us further away from how we want to feel and be in the world. Whether that looks like depression, anxiety, substance use, traumatic reactions, self-harm, family conflict, or something a bit different- I am here to help. In therapy, we can change the way you relate to your suffering, finding relief and more space for the fun stuff. We will work to understand your thoughts, befriend your feelings, and shift behaviors so you can find a calmer state of being.

Many of my clients appear “high-functioning” but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck beneath the surface. Kids and teens may struggle with perfectionism, school stress, social worries, or executive functioning. Young adults and adults often want to quiet their racing thoughts, manage burnout, and feel more grounded. They’re looking for practical tools, emotional clarity, and support that meets them where they are—at school, at home, or in daily life.

I also have a strong passion for supporting LGBTQ clients who want a therapist who understands the complexity, nuance, and courage that comes with navigating identity, relationships, and mental health.
