I specialize in women's issues, chronic health conditions, performance anxiety, and neurodivergence, with additional expertise in the esports and video gaming industry. I am motivated to walk with clients through their challenges, including anxiety, depression, executive functioning, time management, self-esteem issues, adjustment disorder, and gambling/screen addictions. I am also a college instructor, so I can help students process higher education stress and give support around academic functioning from a unique angle.
Using elements of CBT, DBT, ACT, and narrative therapy, I offer structured, compassionate tools to understand your mind, reduce stress, and create sustainable habits. If you're looking for a creative, whole-person approach to healing that let's you explore your patterns and strengths, I'd be honored to work with you.
Our first meeting will let us connect and develop goals for counseling (think of it as "get to know each other" time, with a focus on your experiences so far). We'll make sure we're a good fit, and set up a rhythm for sessions that works around your life. You deserve support from someone who wants to witness your uniqueness!

I combine CBT and ACT to build insight, emotional balance, and everyday coping skills. We'll explore your narrative and attachment patterns with curiosity, not judgment. ERP/DBT may be used to help you move through anxiety more confidently. We can use narrative and psychoanalytic approaches if you want to get deeper. You'll experience a supportive, structured space where growth feels possible.
