Life is a roller coaster, but you don't have to navigate it on your own anymore. You may be insightful, self-aware, the one others rely on, yet inside you're exhausted, anxious, or unsure of your next step. You deal with anxiety, burnout, depression or struggle to express your true self with friends, family, or at work. Then there's the childhood you survived, which you expect yourself to have overcome by now even though it likely still affects you. I help people who have scars that no one else sees. Who are tired of overthinking, self-sabotaging, and are ready to bring light to the darkness in a transformative, meaningful way.

My approach blends insight and action in a non judgmental space that explores your beliefs, thoughts and feelings and uncovers patterns that keep you stuck while also finding strategies that actually work in your real life. I’ll help you learn how to quiet the mental noise, cope with stress, set boundaries, and create the life that you want for yourself.

Clients come to me from diverse backgrounds and are empathetic, emotionally sensitive people who think and feel deeply about many things; an incredible strength yet also a barrier (takes one to know one!) They want more for themselves and their lives, and may know what they "should" be doing to change, but struggle with following through on their own.
