If you’ve been “holding it together” while feeling anxious, numb, or stuck in the same loops, I get it. You get through the day, then crash—overthinking, doom-scrolling, or feeling weirdly numb. Maybe you’ve been carrying old trauma, masking neurodivergent traits, or feeling directionless while your needs stay unspoken and unmet. You want your energy back, steadier moods, and a life that feels like yours—not just one you’re getting through. If any of that resonates with you, I think I can help.
I help adults work through trauma, anxiety/depression, people-pleasing, burnout, and neurodivergence with a grounded, practical approach. We’ll slow things down, map patterns, calm the nervous system, and build tools that fit your life. I’m queer-affirming, neurodivergence-friendly, and I won’t leave you alone with “insight” that doesn’t change anything.
First step is simple: if reading this made you exhale even a little, that matters. Reach out. We’ll start exactly where you are, at a pace that feels safe—one small step at a time. You can decide from there if this feels like the right place to land.

Insurance is a tedious, and frustrating, that's why I take care of all the billing and insurance needs for you. I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients and help with reimbursement. I can also work with you on a sliding scale. I'm happy to work to keep therapy affordable for you.

I specialize in burnout, LGBTQ struggles, anxiety, trauma, and identity work for high-achieving adults who look fine on the outside but feel depleted underneath. A typical course of therapy involves building nervous system awareness, mapping unhelpful patterns, and developing practical tools for lasting change. Clients often report feeling genuinely lighter, clearer, and more like themselves.

My primary approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS), a well-researched model that helps people understand and work with the different parts of themselves — rather than fighting them. I also draw from trauma-informed, attachment-based, and somatic approaches. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and grounded in real life — not just insight. Come as you are, it's enough.
