You’re an adult or young adult who looks like you’ve got it all together—but inside, it’s a different story. You’re doing your best to hold it all together, but anxiety keeps getting in the way—of school, friendships, sleep, or just feeling like yourself. You might be constantly second-guessing your decisions, stuck in overthinking, or feeling like you’re not measuring up. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Whether it is navigating relationships, college or career transitions, motherhood, or complex family dynamics, I would love to support you.
I help adults and adolescents navigate anxiety, perfectionism, and identity challenges. My style is collaborative, grounded, and deeply human-rooted in evidence-based practices but more importantly, it’s shaped around your needs. We will explore what matters most to you, that helps you feel steadier, more empowered, and more at home in yourself.
Together we’ll uncover what matters most to you and take steps aligned with your values. I support you in reflecting with compassion and moving forward with clarity and self‑acceptance. Many clients share they feel more compassion for themselves and their choices through this work. With my background, I also hold space in my heart for the dance community.

I use a strengths-based approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which means we'll focus not just on what's hard, but also on what's already strong within you. Together, we challenge unhelpful thoughts and barriers, reframe distorted patterns, and build a personal model of resilience rooted in what already makes them strong.
