Do you feel like past hurts trigger current patterns in your life? Are you tired of carrying the weight of the past and want increased freedom in how you express yourself to those around you? As a clinician with years of training in post-trauma recovery and growth, I've guided many on their journey of self-discovery, transforming relationship with self/others and healing pain that hinders self-expression. My own journey allows me to understand the pain you are feeling and to offer you the support needed to feel better. Therapy at first glance might seem daunting but together we can create a space where you feel safe, free, and seen.

For over 18 years, I’ve treated anxiety and panic—and supported many people who feel everything so deeply, including those navigating the ups and downs of borderline personality dynamics. I know how scary it can feel to share your thoughts—especially when others offer overly simple fixes and unfair judgements. Not with me. I ask thoughtful questions and genuinely validate your experience. We’ll look closely at what’s happening, find the right words, and let solutions emerge. You’ll become a self-compassionate superstar—a real pro with others and with conflict. Come be my teammate.

I focus my work on anxiety and depression. I will help you put words to thoughts you usually keep to yourself, find clarity, and figure out what to do. We will tackle overwhelm, endless rumination, and overanalyzing. We will look to empower you, build up your sense of self, find meaning again, and make your life feel like it matters. I want our work to be about what we figure out together so that you can walk away proud of the effort you put into therapy and start seeing your life little by little become satisfying and meaningful. We will figure out what is the point of it all and help you learn to create that.

Hello, and thank you for reading my profile! Many of my clients are young adults dealing with life stressors, trauma, or anxiety. It's okay to not be sure what you want out of therapy, and to only know that something is wrong. I want you to feel comfortable and confident in therapy, and I believe this is a collaborative process. We will work together to determine goals and the priorities in treatment. I have some clients achieve their goals in less than 10 sessions, and other clients I have seen for years. Length of treatment depends on your goals and I am happy to accommodate long or short term therapy

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that seem to repeat, I want you to know you’re not broken. I’m a relationship expert, and I work with individuals, couples, and families to gently explore how past relational experiences shape how we love, protect, cling, or pull away. We’ll go slowly. You won’t have to hold everything by yourself here. Together, we’ll understand what’s been weighing on you and begin reshaping these patterns. As your relationships shift, your sense of self can soften too—and life can begin to feel more like something you can truly live.
