This is a safe space for all parts of you, just as you are. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when chronic anxiety, overthinking, self-worth, and relationships overlap in ways that feel hard to untangle. I support those navigating anxiety and stress, identity and self-esteem concerns, relational patterns and wounds, chronic illness (POTS/EDS/etc), and times of change. My work is grounded in a culturally responsive, compassion-focused, and queer-competent approach, offering a collaborative and relational space to explore patterns, reduce anxiety, and create meaningful change that goes beyond coping alone.
Many of my clients navigate the exhausting cycle of chronic overthinking and a harsh inner critic. I specialize in helping you manage overwhelming emotions and anxiety, heal deep-seated relational wounds, and explore the complex questions of identity and self-worth. I affirm and empower those with LGBTQ+/queer, poly, and multicultural identities.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and authentic. Therapy is your space to build resilience and feel more like yourself. I offer a safe space where you can exist as you are, without masking, judgment, or expectation.

I often work with people who struggle with overthinking, self-criticism, shame, attachment or relational patterns, and/or are balancing multiple stressors. I take a relational, depth-oriented approach that goes beyond common coping strategies (hello intellectualizers) to support lasting emotional and identity-level change. I often use IFS (parts), DBT, and attachment theories.
