Anxiety can leave you overthinking conversations, questioning your role in relationships, or feeling unsettled during life transitions. I hold a Master’s in Counseling (MC) from Palo Alto University (2021), and my path into this field began with my own desire to better understand myself and the dynamics of relationships through personal therapy. That experience inspired a genuine commitment to sit with adults (18+) in vulnerable moments, and I remain continually inspired by clients and colleagues as I deepen the care I provide.
I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based approaches, and Motivational Interviewing to help you explore anxious thoughts, process painful experiences, and shift relational patterns with intention. We'll focus on increasing insight, strengthening emotional regulation, and making choices that reflect your values.
If you’re ready to better understand yourself and approach relationships and transitions with more clarity and confidence, I invite you to reach out. Growth begins with curiosity—and a willingness to take that first step.
