Do you feel like you’re running on fumes and lattes? Doom‑scrolling past midnight—it’s the only downtime you get? Is your brain buzzing with deadlines, group‑chat pings, and a nagging voice saying, “Do more—BE more?” On the outside, you’re the reliable overachiever who's there for everyone else and gets things done. But inside, it’s overwhelming—FOMO, and a constant reel of “not enough.” What if there's more to life than that? If your mind never pauses, even on vacation, and “no” feels impossible, maybe it’s time for a different story. If you've been "yessing" along, therapy may be the exhalation your nervous system is waiting for.

I am sex and body positive, and have an expansive view of sexuality, gender and relationships. My goal is to build a space where my clients can feel free to be totally themselves without fear of judgment or shame.
