Are you tired of feeling like this? If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or just done with life - you’re not alone. I’m here to offer support, clarity, and connection. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals strengthen self-worth, navigate family/relationship dynamics, heal from trauma, gain power over inattention/ADHD, and manage anxiety or mood challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy - we’ll tailor your sessions to your strengths, goals, and unique needs, so that together, we can create meaningful and lasting change.
Clients often say they feel truly seen and understood in our work together. I blend compassion with a solution-focused mindset - meaning we don’t just talk about the problem, we work together to move through it! Together, we can end unwanted behavior patterns and find practical steps forward. I want to see you to reach goals that once felt out of reach.
I draw from CBT, DBT, Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, and Radical Acceptance, using a strengths-based and personalized approach to meet you where you're at. I offer evening and weekend availability - therapy should be accessible and convenient! If you're ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself - I’d love to support your journey.

Anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma - they're not character flaws. They're patterns your brain developed for a reason. We can figure out those reasons together. You don't need more willpower - you need support, understanding, and strategies that actually fit your brain.

Nothing is wrong with you - your mind just learned to survive in ways that don't serve you anymore. Therapy is where we gently unlearn that. With over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of individuals, I would love to guide you in this process. Earlier in my career, I was published in peer-reviewed journals for research in clinical psychology.
