I specialize in severe anxiety disorders, emotion dysregulation, and challenging relationship patterns. If you’ve felt stuck working things out on your own, or past therapy didn’t quite click, you’re in the right place. Maybe you’re tired of physical symptoms, feel overwhelmed by emotion, or struggle with self worth, people-pleasing, body image, or unhelpful urges and behaviors. I’m here to walk with you through whatever season you’re in: I’ll make space for all of you, especially the parts you’ve been pushing away, shaming, or judging. Together, we will uncover new pathways to empowerment, self-compassion, and joy.
I work with teens, adults, and partners using a blend of evidence-based therapies. I'll ask you the tough questions and truly be with you, without judgment, through the tenderness. We’ll unhook from unhelpful thoughts and patterns, build skills to ride waves of emotion with resilience, and deepen your connection to your values so you can flourish.
In our work together, you’ll feel heard AND you’ll build practical skills to apply in your daily life. I take a multicultural, feminist approach. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, inclusive of polyamorous relationships, and HAES-aligned. Therapy with me is warm, sometimes funny, challenging, and very real. See my site for more- I'm excited to hear from you!

Evidence-based therapies typically yield a prompt response; most clients start to notice shifts within a month or two. That said, healing happens at different speeds for different people. If you're working through long-standing patterns, trauma, marginalization, or systemic stressors, therapy may unfold over a longer period. We'll revisit this together to make sure our work stays purposeful.

I use a blend of third-wave cognitive-behavioral therapies- ACT, DBT, and ERP- as well as mindful self-compassion, feminist, and multicultural theories. I use an anti-oppressive lens. I encourage clients to use somatic, bottom-up techniques to truly feel their emotions. I use both warmth and humor in session.
