Are you experiencing persistent anxiety, rumination, panic symptoms, or perfectionistic self-criticism? Are you feeling like you are "too much?" I help clients navigate these feelings and build coping skills. I can help you if you're experiencing difficulty with identity, purpose, or meaning in life or gender and/or sexual identity, coming out, or navigating relationships and family stress. I help clients experiencing grief from lost roles, relationships, identity shifts or life transitions. If you're experiencing stress related to college, academic pressure, or entering adulthood, I would love to work with you.

Therapy with me is holistic, collaborative and strength-based. We will work together to understand the patterns that keep you stuck, build coping skills for anxiety, overwhelm, and self-criticism, and help you identify and communicate needs. We will explore identity, values, and meaning to help you find more fulfillment in your life.

People I work with often experience less anxiety and overthinking, greater confidence and self-understanding, increased clarity around identity and purpose and healthier boundaries and relationships. Whatever brings you to therapy, you are not alone. If you'd like to work with me click on my website to schedule a complimentary 15-min call.
