If you struggle with intrusive, unwanted thoughts that cause anxiety, guilt, or shame, you’re not alone. These thoughts can feel relentless—your mind constantly bombarding you with fears, “what ifs,” or compulsions you can’t control. These thoughts can take over your day, affect your relationships, and make it hard to enjoy life. You might feel trapped in a cycle you don’t understand, frustrated with yourself for thinking things you “shouldn’t” think, or anxious that your thoughts mean something about you. It doesn't have to be this way!

I will bring compassion, creativity, sensitivity, warmth, accountability, and insight to our work together.

The areas that I help my clients with are for those dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, low emotional intelligence, addictions (especially sex/porn addiction), personality disorders and trauma. I find that people are looking for ways to deal and cope with the stress and challenges in their lives and unfortunately most people do not cope with their problems in a healthy way; instead they will find ways to cope by escaping, keeping themselves busy and distracted, basically never dealing directly with the problem and defer it for another time, but that time usually doesn't come.

Everyone wants to be themselves, to be “seen,” and to be valued for their uniqueness. We’re wired to need safe and affirming relationships and connections. When we’re struggling, it’s usually because something has gotten in the way — not because we’re somehow “defective” or “flawed.” I value authenticity, and strive to help clients feel and honor emotions that may seem “wrong” or unacceptable.
I’ve worked extensively with college students, survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, adults with ADHD and autism, couples, and individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness.

“She is like a warm chocolate chip cookie counselor.” This is how colleagues have described me to clients. A warm chocolate chip cookie therapist doesn’t mean that deep therapeutic work is avoided. It means clients feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and do the deep work that led them to seek therapy. My trauma informed and person-centered approach offers an honest and supportive space. Together, we’ll slow down, quiet self-criticism, and practice gentleness—so you can reconnect with your most whole, authentic self. I also offer support for those who have financial shame or want to work on the mind-money connection.

Do you ever ask yourself if life should feel better, or if you should be happier? Do you put your needs last on the to-do list? Are you feeling stuck in current patterns or behaviors? Now more than ever, people feel overwhelmed and uncertain about managing life’s stressors and finding their place. It’s common to feel stuck in a continuous cycle and to neglect your own needs, which can increase stress. I believe there is hope to be found with the right tools to live the life you want to live and the life you deserve.

My clients often begin therapy because they recognize a need for change. These realizations can be difficult to deal with, so I respect them. I am also excited by these moments because they are the beginning of the healing process. Through therapy, I help clients develop a greater understanding of who they are and what got them to this point in life. From there, we explore what their goals are, and we develop a plan to achieve these goals.

Life can confront us with unbearable pain and overwhelming obstacles, leaving us feeling lost, discouraged, and questioning our worth. These experiences weigh us down, creating a pain that feels impossible to escape. In response, we summon strength and try to "brush it off" and "keep moving," often invalidating our emotions and experiences in the process. Over time, unprocessed pain seeps into our present, overshadowing joy and eroding our sense of self. The future feels unreachable, the past ever-present, and we lose connection to who we truly are. Even in the darkness, there is hope for healing.
