When anxiety, self-doubt, or major changes feel like too much, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and stability. Since 2017, I’ve provided evidence-based psychotherapy to adults ages 18 to 80, specializing in anxiety disorders, adjustment-related stress, and self-esteem concerns. As a top 1% ranked therapist in Multisystemic Therapy (MST), I integrate trauma-informed care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support clients navigating mood disturbances, life transitions, and unresolved
I prioritize open, honest communication and create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, just support. I practice active listening (not the nod-and-smile kind) and offer space for meaningful reflection, always as a collaborative, empathetic partner. And when we’re working through something tough, you can count on me to stay calm.
Our first session is an important opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building trust. We’ll discuss your background and what has brought you to therapy, setting a foundation for the work ahead. Therapy is a process that unfolds over time, and I’ll be here to support and guide you every step of the way.

Do anxious thoughts and self-doubt have VIP access to your brain? You're not alone—and no, you're not broken. I work with young adults navigating anxiety, big life shifts, and the ongoing adventure of figuring out who they are (and how to like that person).

I believe in clear, open communication—no mind games, no therapy riddles, and no silent head nodding for 50 minutes. I create a supportive, judgment-free zone where you can speak freely, curse occasionally, and be fully yourself. And when things get heavy? I stay calm, grounded, and patient—because healing doesn't always come on a schedule, and I'm not here to rush your process.

Therapy doesn't have to be cold or clinical—I believe it should feel human, grounded, and yes, sometimes even a little funny. I prioritize open, honest communication and create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, just support. And when we're working through something tough, you can count on me to stay calm, present, and patient—no matter how messy life gets.
