If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling in your relationships, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, drained, or disconnected underneath. I help adults build healthier boundaries, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and work through the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach goes beyond surface-level coping, offering a space where you can gain clarity, feel understood, and create meaningful, lasting change. If you're ready to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships, I’d be honored to support you.

Professionally, I have advanced training and experience in treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and insomnia.

I love what I do, and that shine through in my work. Please feel free to contact me to learn more about my practice and to set up an appointment.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.
