Choosing a therapist is an important and deeply personal decision, and my goal is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood. I work with individuals who are navigating complex trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, worry, or sadness. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in cycles they can’t quite name, carrying burdens they’ve held alone for far too long. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and build a path toward relief, clarity, and meaningful change.

For the past 8 years I have been in private practice, treating patients of all ages with anxiety disorders (including OCD), mood disorders, and chronic pain.
I've always believed that it's important to take a practical approach to therapy, especially in the beginning. Let's get you feeling better. In our work together, you'll develop skills and build confidence in yourself and in your path forward. After that, we can figure out the origins of your symptoms and develop a better understanding of who you are so that we can work towards who you want to become.

If you feel stuck in survival mode, constantly anxious, overwhelmed, or triggered, I help adults heal trauma and anxiety so they can feel grounded and in control again. Many of my clients describe themselves as “put together” on the outside while privately battling self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional exhaustion. You might feel like you’re always bracing for something, struggling to stay present, or carrying tension that never fully loosens. These patterns make sense when your body has learned to survive more than it has learned to feel safe. Here you can understand your patterns and work toward real relief.

Emotional wellness in difficult circumstances requires honest self-reflection, bravery, humor, creativity and optimism and these are qualities I encourage within the therapeutic process. My approach to therapy is a blend of Narrative Therapy (discovering through conversations hopeful, preferred, previously unrecognized possibilities and outcomes), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (challenging beliefs about actions in order to yield new results). I believe we are influenced by our family, community and childhood but are ultimately responsible for our choices and, further, that we possess the freedom to grow and change toward a desired way of being.

You deserve a space where your experiences are met with compassion, curiosity, and care rather than pressure to simply “push through.” My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion. I integrate evidence-based approaches including ACT, CBT, and somatic awareness to help clients move away from survival-based coping and toward a life that feels more connected, empowered, and sustainable. I believe therapy should be a space where all parts of you are welcomed without judgment — including the parts that feel exhausted, angry, grieving, or afraid.
