You may look like you have things together on the outside, but inside you’re dealing with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, self-criticism, or feeling like you’re always trying to keep up. Many people I work with feel stuck in stress, emotional exhaustion, or navigating big life transitions and want relief that actually lasts. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s really going on underneath those patterns. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and CBT in a practical, tailored way so you’re not just coping better—you’re understanding yourself differently and moving toward feeling more grounded,.

Everyone deserves to feel supported in their mental health journey and not everyone experiences mental health issues the same way. I would love to support you in the awareness and understanding of your own mental health needs, unique triggers, natural supports, and coping mechanisms. Counseling should be a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client, working towards developing client autonomy and confidence to manage symptoms independently. Through avenues of psychoeducation, talk-therapy, skills development, and behavioral modifications, you can do this!

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to cope with what they are experiencing. They may feel disconnected from themselves or other, or be trying to make sense of past experiences that continue to impact their present.

As a trauma informed therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where my clients can share their stories without the feeling of judgement. I aim to walk alongside my clients as they process hardships, anxieties, growth, victories, and change. I also recognize how overwhelming and paralyzing life’s unknowns can feel, and how trying to navigate these unknowns can create fear in our present day lives. Together, we will develop strategies and goals that help navigate through these unknowns and work toward moving past these fears so that you can feel grounded, secure, and ultimately present in your day to day life.

Therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel accepted, understood, and comfortable showing up exactly as you are. You are the expert on your experiences and therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to better understand what's going on and identify what might help. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, dissociation, self-harm, identity exploration, and life transitions. As an LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming therapist, I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental environment for self-exploration.

Therapy is about progress, not perfection. You are the expert on what works for you, even if it doesn’t seem clear right now. Together we can figure out where support could be helpful. It takes practice to learn to be vulnerable and to find the words to describe our inner lives. All emotions have meaning, and together we can figure out what they’re trying to tell you.

My clients are self-aware but feel stuck. They may struggle with anxiety, relationship stress, low self-esteem, or pressure from work, school, or family. They want real change, not quick fixes. They are looking for a space that feels safe while also encouraging growth. Their goals drive them to understand their habits, manage their emotions more effectively, communicate clearly, and build healthier relationships. They are seeking the comfort of a confidant; someone who will help carry that weight, and maybe have a few laughs along the way. Ultimately, they are ready to break old cycles and create something different.
