In my therapy practice, I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, adults, and families to identify and counter unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and ultimately help them to live happier, more successful lives. Using a scientifically supported approach, the therapy work frequently includes discussions of brain functioning and why we act as we do, learning about and practicing concrete strategies to improve day-to-day functioning, and identifying and changing problematic habits (e.g., with thought patterns, exercise, sleep, screens, social interactions, etc).

I know what falling apart feels like. Good therapy inspired me to leave my career as a performing artist to become the therapist I wish I'd had. I hope I can be the one you need now.
I work with complex trauma, religious trauma, and recovery from abusive relationships. I understand high-performing professionals, parents, artists, and academics. As a former stay-at-home mother, I've demonstrated the secure attachment patterns that I bring to the therapy room. Whether you're navigating deconstruction, spiritual abuse, or hierarchical systems, I can help you heal—not adjust to dysfunction.

If you’ve been “holding it together” while feeling anxious, numb, or stuck in the same loops, I get it. You get through the day, then crash—overthinking, doom-scrolling, or feeling weirdly numb. Maybe you’ve been carrying old trauma, masking neurodivergent traits, or feeling directionless while your needs stay unspoken and unmet. You want your energy back, steadier moods, and a life that feels like yours—not just one you’re getting through. If any of that resonates with you, I think I can help.

I am Certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and have specialized training in how ADHD impacts relationships.
Currently accepting couples and individuals as new clients.
I help people make sense of how their early relationships, past experiences, body responses, and cultural background all show up in their lives and relationships today. I offer individual and couples therapy that’s grounded in curiosity, compassion, and zero judgment. Together, we’ll look at what you’re really feeling underneath and the behavioral habits that, in the process of protecting those deep vulnerabilities, unfortunately push connection and authenticity away. Once we start to understand those patterns, change becomes possible.

You’re used to being the one who keeps going, figures things out, and holds things together for everyone else — even when, internally, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying so much on your own. Many of the people I work with experience high-functioning anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or patterns that no longer seem to work the way they once did. These struggles often become more noticeable during life transitions, parenting, college or graduate school stress, or periods of increased pressure.
