My website
I'm a millennial psychotherapist with a passion for helping people find solutions to life’s challenges. My approach is dynamic, inquisitive, and always infused with a touch of humor, because I believe that healing doesn’t have to be all serious. I love digging deep into the "why" behind behaviors, helping clients discover fresh perspectives and actionable steps. Whether it's anxiety, relationships, or personal growth, I am here to guide you with curiosity, warmth, and a good laugh along the way!
As a therapist specializing in anxiety and emotional regulation, I create a warm, compassionate space where you can feel safe and understood. I take a personalized, authentic approach, blending empathy and practical tools to help you manage overwhelming feelings. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your anxiety and build coping strategies.
Clients working with me, can expect to gain practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions and reducing anxiety. You'll develop self-awareness, learn coping strategies, and build emotional resilience.

I work with clients who may be struggling with their relationship with self; or other significant relationships. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter."
