I offer therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout.
Going through the motions every day because you're feeling unmotivated and exhausted sucks! Learn how to thrive versus simply trying to survive each day.
It's so easy to get caught up in the stresses of life that you can find the goals you set for yourself to feel out of reach. You get mad that you haven't reached them, beat yourself up, just for the cycle to start over again.
I help hard-working 20 and 30 somethings figure out how to reduce burnout and overwhelming thoughts so they can thrive, not just survive.

I help individuals heal from trauma, including long-standing experiences.
You may be used to being the one everyone depends on — the strong one who keeps going, even when you’re overwhelmed or hurting. Many of the people I work with carry the pressure of family expectations, cultural responsibilities, and the quiet stress of always holding things together. Over time, this can lead to burnout, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself. In therapy, you’re offered a space that centers your safety, your voice, and your healing so you can begin setting healthier boundaries and building a life that feels more balanced and true to you.

It feels hard to move forward, and you’re stuck with the same problems despite your efforts. Life changes and stress impact your ability to connect with yourself and manage your emotions effectively. You might be carrying a weight—maybe a sense of not being enough or feeling scared about opening up and making some changes. You go through your daily routines and pretend that everything is okay. But in those moments of silence, you can still hear that voice in the back of your head, asking you to slow down and find space to heal—it’s desperate to be heard. You know that things can’t continue like this.

I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic, interpersonal, and multicultural psychotherapies to help teens, adults, and couples, who may be struggling with low mood, worried thoughts, trauma, perinatal concerns, relationship issues, multicultural identity struggles, and adjustment difficulties.

Perhaps you wish to discover the ways in which the past may be holding you back, better understand the reason why you're feeling stagnant in the present, and explore why the future may feel so intimidating for you. It is normal to feel like you need the support of others to feel stable again, and seeking therapy is a brave and courageous first step. Through our work together, we can process your feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and explore new ways of living that feel fulfilling in the here and now. You deserve to feel better, and I can help!

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed by their relationship with food, their bodies, or the emotional changes that can come with pregnancy, postpartum, and major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected—and together we create space for healing and meaningful change.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, complex trauma, current or past abuse, life transitions, relational struggles, grief, chronic illness, and faith exploration.
I draw from various therapeutic modalities, incorporating elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), while tailoring my approach to each individual client with a goal of building healthier connection with others.

l work with people navigating trauma, PTSD, addiction, or the quiet ache of feeling stuck.
I help clients—especially women, professionals, and military families—uncover and release survival patterns like overfunctioning, emotional disconnection, and self-doubt. Through EMDR and trauma-informed, culturally grounded therapy, I support healing from PTSD, quietly struggling with substance use, unresolved trauma, and the feeling of being stuck in life.

I use EMDR to help process unresolved trauma, DBT to build emotional regulation and boundary skills, and attachment-focused work to untangle patterns rooted in early relationships.
If you’re used to being the one who holds it together, therapy can feel like the only place you’re allowed to stop. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally overwhelmed, stuck in anxious thought loops, emotionally exhausted, or carrying old family wounds that still show up in their relationships and self-talk. You may know why you feel the way you do, but knowing hasn’t been enough to create real change. I work with adults who want more than insight, they want relief. My approach is direct, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based care.

I believe wholeheartedly that attending to & prioritizing our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health. Every person will inevitably experience pain, disappointment, & hardship in life, & these struggles can sometimes take a toll on our mind, body, & emotions. My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, supportive, & non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe enough to be vulnerable & process these experiences and emotions.Working as a team, I seek to help clients build the resiliency to cope with the situations we cannot change as well as the confidence to take on life’s challenges as they occur.

You are not what you feel. You are not even what you think. You are what you do. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy is about taking thoughts and feelings and using them for what they're supposed to be: data. They are merely to let us know how we're responding to our environment. It is up to our higher cognitions, our rational thoughts, to decide what to do with that information. My clients range from those with neurodevelopmental issues, mood disorders, and life adjustment events. The premise is the same in all cases: understand ourselves, what we feel and think, figure out WHY we think that way, and then decide what to do with it.

My specialty is helping clients explore how past experiences, including trauma and attachment, shape how they respond today.
You might look like you’re holding it all together on the outside—but inside, it feels overwhelming.
If you’re a woman or parent who struggles with overthinking, people-pleasing, or repeating patterns in relationships, you’re not alone.
Together, we can begin to understand what’s driving these patterns so you can feel more grounded and in control.

Many of our stories have been written with trauma, pain, depression, low self-worth and fear.
My path to healing through counseling began in 2012 after completing a missions trip in which I learned how many children & adults were filled with pain and trauma without access to ways to heal. Mentally their story had been written, their smile had been depleted and their pain was ever-present. I vowed to change and have not stopped trying ever since!

I have specialized training in motivational interviewing, treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and geriatrics.
I deliver evidence-based interventions with compassion, genuineness, humor, empathy, and professionalism. You can’t surprise me and I won’t judge you. My goal is to help you heal and develop self-compassion with the skills you need to cope. Every individual is unique and I believe there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to psychological care because you are not your diagnosis. I will draw on your strengths to decrease distress, improve resilience, and work through barriers to experiencing whole-hearted well-being.

I often work with folks who are queer, folks who are pregnant/ trying to get pregnant/ just recently had a baby, folks who have experienced trauma, and folks who have navigated the healthcare system as a patient and/or caregiver.
Are you struggling to find a “new normal” after the absolute dumpster fire life has been since 2020? Perhaps conflict with family, friends, or at work has left you feeling burned out, overwhelmed, anxious or stressed. Maybe you have recently experienced an upsetting or traumatic event. Have friends/ family voiced worry and concern for you recently? Ready to jump back into mental health maintenance or gain some new coping skills? You are in the right place!
