Are you a woman or college student always imagining the worst in every scenario and feel anxious and on edge, no matter what you do? You’re someone who is a high achiever, but you still find yourself overthinking about the smallest things, feeling fearful when you think about the future and afraid to make changes. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life.
I specialize in working with women & students struggling with anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues understand themselves on a deeper level and make positive changes in their lives. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who “gets” them on a deeper level, is easy to talk to, and open-minded, because therapy should be a place where you feel heard.
I’ll show up as a real person, challenge you when you need it, and be genuinely invested in you and your journey. Here you can show up as your authentic self to process and reflect on difficult feelings and emotions. I’m here to guide you and help you get curious about yourself to create change, growth, & a more fulfilling life. Email me for a free consult!

My approach to therapy is based on mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allows for deeper healing than traditional talk therapy.
