Individuals of all ages can benefit from therapy; my goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment in which my client, regardless of age, feels comfortable and able to grow emotionally.

Struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm? Maybe you put others first, avoid conflict, or fall into self-sabotage even though you're highly self-aware. Perhaps it shows up in your relationships or your work, and you're emotionally exhausted and done with just venting. That's where I come in. My approach is active, collaborative, and focused on real change—not just talking. I work with clients to break out of self-sabotaging patterns, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and strengthen emotional regulation and relational awareness using DBT and trauma-based therapies.

Life is full of ups and downs — we all know that. But sometimes, it can feel like we’re running a marathon that seems to go on forever. We start to feel stressed, burnt out, and hopeless. We may find ourselves wondering, "What happened to my relationship?", "Why can’t I stop repeating this unhealthy behavior?", "Wasn’t this new job supposed to make things better?" Whether it’s our work, relationships, or simply our own quirks getting in the way of our well-being, there comes a time when our confusion and pain become too much to bear alone. We feel like giving up and often don’t know where to go for support.

Often we are faced with decisions that will have a big impact on the course of our life. Even if we already know the better option, it can feel totally overwhelming thinking about all it takes to make the change. Whether it's an addiction, loss of sense of self, or religion, everything else can slip to the background making it hard just to get through the day. When we work collaboratively in therapy, you will experience new things about yourself and what your priorities really are while letting go of what we are told we should be or do.
