Do you ever feel like your thoughts won’t slow down, and staying present is a constant struggle? Maybe your to-do list feels impossible to manage, and you’re just trying to keep your head above water. You might be so focused on taking care of everyone else that you’ve lost yourself along the way and don’t know how to say “no.” Or maybe you’re at a turning point, questioning what you believe and feeling confused. If past experiences still bring up painful reminders, it can feel like you’re stuck—ready to move forward but unsure how to take that first step.
This is a space where you can feel truly seen and safe. I’m here to support adults navigating anxiety (like people-pleasing and perfectionism), trauma, and spirituality struggles, including religious trauma and deconstruction. Wherever you are on your healing journey, I’ll meet you there and help you grow into the person you’re meant to be.
As your therapist, I’m here to support you in feeling understood and valued while you navigate your journey to becoming your best self—whatever that looks like for you. I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t expect you to have them either. This is a space for you to explore, heal, and grow without fear of judgment. Ready to start? Let’s connect!

When it comes to therapy, I often take a cognitive behavioral approach. This helps me identify how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors all connect and guides the treatment process. We will also examine how your values inform the life you aim to live and use dialectical behavioral therapy to provide clarity. Last, I utilize a strength and compassionate-based approach to encourage your progress.
