Aren't these profiles tiresome? While finding the right fit of a therapist is important, reading marketing pitches about being non-judgmental, safe, supportive, and compassionate isn’t particularly helpful. We’re therapists; of course, we strive to be all those things.

With over 10 years of experience using evidence based approaches working with children, adolescents, and families, Ive supported clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and relationship challenges. During difficult moments, it's common to feel stuck, misunderstood, or unsure of how to move forward. I believe every individual has unique strengths, even when they feel hard to recognize. With the right support, growth and healing are always possible.

Hi there! I work with adults navigating anxiety, body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, neurodivergence, stress/burnout, and life transitions. My passion for counseling stems from a belief that individuals thrive when they have a supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. In our work together, I will help you slow down, reconnect with what matters most to you, and move intentionally towards your goals.

A world directed toward the "typical experience" can be a place of uncertainty, but I’m here to walk alongside you on your path toward your goals! As a clinical mental health counselor, I am passionate about helping people understand their thoughts, worldviews, and how they fit into this world. Gaining insight and self-awareness into present experiences can help bring people to a place of greater self-understanding and self-love. I believe in utilizing personalized and empathetic approaches, ensuring the unique needs and strengths of each person I work with is recognized and validated.

As both a therapist and a fellow human being, I have come to know trauma intimately. More importantly, I have seen what exists beyond it—the profound healing that emerges when people are met with safety, compassion, and understanding. Bearing witness to this transformation is one of the greatest privileges of my work. I am a trauma specialist who provides therapy for children, adolescents, and adults suffering from the impacts of traumatic experiences, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, maltreatment, neglect, life-threatening/life-changing events, under-supported neurodivergence, discrimination, and grief/loss.

Welcome, I am happy you’re here. I get it, it’s hard to work on the things that hold you back. Many of my clients are just like you – they know what’s wrong, but they struggle to figure out how to change their behaviors – understand their past on a logical sense, but struggle to understand it on an emotional sense – people who want to cultivate kindness and authenticity in their lives, but struggle to believe they deserve it. My clients are often misunderstood by others, thinking they are not enough or too much, and experience very large emotions, both "positive and negative."

Life can sometimes move too fast, too slow, or just be a bit too much – it can throw you off-balance as things continue to change around you. You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or discouraged when you try so hard to get by but still feel like things are not going the way you wish it would. All of this is even harder when you have burdens from past traumas, cultural or intergenerational pressures, or aren’t sure where you want to go. The truth is that behind all the struggle, life curveballs and misunderstandings you may experience, there is strength within you that can be uncovered and brought to the forefront to guide you.

Anxiety is an exhausting cycle. Negative thoughts, feelings, and memories are natural parts of being a human being, but they don’t have to control your life or take away from what is truly meaningful to you. I believe that having a space to explore your feelings in an open, non-judgmental environment can relieve some of the pressure and make it possible to invest time and effort into what you truly care about. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety and intrusive thoughts effectively, your life can become much richer and more meaningful.

Tired of pretending everything’s fine? Here, you don’t have to. Whether you’ve always felt a bit different, struggled to belong, or simply need a space that feels safe to open up, this is a place for you. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, helping clients explore their stories, build confidence, manage anxiety, and navigate life transitions. Sessions often mix emotional work with real connection, sometimes even a laugh because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

I’m so glad you’re here. I invite you into a space where we can co-create room for your most authentic, unmasked self. Together, we can laugh, cry, pause, and explore who you are and who you are becoming. If you’re feeling dissociated, overwhelmed, or lost, we’ll walk your path side-by-side to help you find your footing again.
I value the therapy of presence, play, and curiosity, and our sessions may take many forms. They can be talking while creating art or working on a puzzle, practicing mindful breathing, body doubling difficult tasks, or exploring challenging (or special-interest) topics in ways that feel grounding.

Imagine that the constant overthinking, self-doubt, and feeling “on edge” weren’t signs that something is wrong with you, but signs that your nervous system has been working overtime to protect you? Anxiety, trauma, depression, and chronic stress can leave the mind and body stuck in survival mode, making it difficult to feel calm, connected, or confident. Together, we can explore the experiences shaping these patterns, better understand your nervous system, and build practical tools that help you feel more grounded, balanced, and compassionate toward yourself.

Do you feel like your anxiety is so intense that it’s making your decisions for you? Are intrusive thoughts and compulsions making you question your character or making your world feel unsafe? It’s hard to keep up with daily life when anxiety and intrusive thoughts make every decision feel paralyzing. Keeping up with work, family, friends, and the things that bring you joy start to feel tiring or impossible to achieve. If these words resonate with you, I see you and I’m here to help. I can help you work through the challenges you are facing and help you feel that hope and change exist for you.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel tender, especially when you’ve been holding a lot on your own. I work with adults, teens, children, and parents from a warm, regulation-focused, neurodiversity-affirming lens. Clients may be navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, anger, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or patterns that no longer fit. Together, we slow down, get curious about what’s beneath the surface, build greater self-understanding and regulation, and make space for new ways of moving through life that feel more like you.
