My clients often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or loss, and are seeking balance, connection, and relief. Many are navigating life transitions, burnout, or relationship challenges—others are exploring intimacy, sexual health, or identity within the LGBTQ+ community. Some juggle caregiving, work, and emotional exhaustion, unsure where to begin. They’re not just seeking symptom relief—they want deeper self-understanding, stronger relationships, and lasting healing. Together, we create a compassionate, judgment-free space to move from surviving to thriving.

I often work with individuals who are struggling with attachment issues, complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, relational conflict, people-pleasing, codependency, shame, grief, and identity struggles.
Work looks like better understanding yourself within the context of your relationships, experiences, and emotional world. Rather than problems to be “fixed”, I see symptoms as meaningful adaptations to circumstances. I focus on healing through connection, emotional safety, and an authentic therapeutic relationship rather than solely symptom management.

I help individuals and couples redefine the stories shaping their sense of self and their relationships, breaking free from narratives formed by past experiences that limit confidence, connection, and choice. Therapy becomes a space to release what no longer fits and intentionally create new, self-defined and shared narratives rooted in self-trust, clarity, and emotional safety; supporting a self-fulfilling mindset and more expansive ways of living and loving. Let's work together to start rewriting a new narrative.

My ideal client would be someone who is prepared to complete tasks that are agreed upon in-session between the client and the therapist. The client would complete these tasks, on their own, away from the session, and would review the results in the next weekly session. I believe that any change that is made in a client's life, even the tiniest, has the potential to be a positive force for overall change. These series of small changes can build momentum, session to session, that ultimately empowers the client to live the life that they want to live. I believe in the power of therapy to provide recovery for anyone who tries.

Has the state of the world left you freaking exhausted? Do you drag yourself through your days at work or school with a fake smile on your face? Do you spend more of your free time than you'd like either stuck in a blanket burrito watching your comfort show on repeat and drinking too much or catering to everyone's needs but your own?

I work with clients who may be struggling with issues of codependency, self-esteem, and/or trauma related issues whether intra/interpersonally.
I believe the greatest relationship one could ever have is the one with themselves. Oftentimes, we tend to get lost in the expectations of our families, society, culture, relationships, religion, etc., and find ourselves unhappy with the person staring back at us. Regardless of which of these feels true, the journey to yourself can be scary, uncertain, and uncomfortable; however, not impossible. Together, with you in mind, I aim to serve as a guide to assist you with healing past hurts by helping you become more self-aware; accepting and trusting your feelings and experiences; alleviating your distress; and living an authentic life.

Wellness and empowerment are two (of many) words I root my work with clients, as I have seen how they can further clients progress towards their goals. I see you as your own agent for change and I also strive to assist in their ability to further your understanding of self. You may hear me quickly speak to topics of internal dialogue, self-care, and stress management, as we assess wellness through a bio-psycho-social model (how biological, psychological and social aspects of our life intertwine in mental health). I also value the importance of how trauma can impact our present self, exploring it's impact on emotional regulation.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
