My experience on the other side of the 'couch' has shown me that real change is possible when you make your mental health a priority. It takes courage to ask for support, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for you to share and process what you’ve been carrying. In our sessions, I’ll use strengths-based approaches, insight-building techniques, and various therapeutic modalities to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and achieve your personal goals. My approach to therapy is both conversational and practical (somewhere in the middle of talking to a friend while also getting concrete techniques and insights). I strive to create a safe environment where your story is valued, and you are treated as the expert of your own lived experiences. I specialize in supporting individuals who have a sense of overwhelm, ruminating thoughts, burnout, lack of motivation, disconnected, feeling hopeless and detached, and life transitions. What You Can Expect: - Problem Solving: We'll focus on addressing the issues causing you the most stress right now. - New Understanding: You'll gain clarity on your symptoms, triggers, and responses, making them less intimidating and more manageable. - Tools and Strategies: You'll learn evidence-based techniques to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions. - Confidence: You'll recognize your strength in handling anxiety, guilt, and sadness, empowering you to take control. Let's take this step toward self-care—I'm here to help.

Hello and welcome—I’m glad you’re here! If you’ve been feeling anxious, stressed, or uncertain about how to handle life’s challenges, you don’t have to face them on your own. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’ll help you untangle what feels overwhelming and guide you toward healthier ways of coping. Together, we’ll work on reducing stress, calming anxious thoughts, and finding greater balance. In our sessions, you’ll have a supportive space where your voice matters and your whole self is truly welcome. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My priority is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood. From that foundation, I draw on Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches, adapting each to meet your unique needs. Reaching out for help takes courage, and it’s a step toward the life you want to create. My role is to walk alongside you, offering encouragement, authenticity, and guidance as you navigate your journey of healing. You deserve a safe, affirming space to explore your story—and I’d be honored to support you in building the peace and confidence you’re seeking.

Change is so hard, and anxiety, depression and grief often accompany it. Fortunately, so does new growth, new beginnings and healing. I specialize in supporting people who are navigating change and life transitions. I center attachment and relationships and believe they are the foundation of our ability to feel secure in the face of difficulty. I support people through separations, adjustment, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and racial identity development. As we heal our relationship with self, we show up more fully in relationship with others. My work is an intersection of my earth based spirituality, Buddhist teachings, Western neuroscience, and the belief that we are all here to care for each other in relationship, and in doing so, we can find deep healing and peace. I use an integrative approach that weaves together Mindfulness, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (somatic), Attachment and Relational Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Expressive Arts practices. I work with diverse populations, and continue to lean into anti-racist, LGBTQ+, and sex positive affirmative practices. This is a space in which I honor your process. Together we will make room for and clarify what needs tending to and help you feel resourced and empowered to move towards healing.

Are you looking to feel happier and more energetic, and get back to enjoying your usual activities and social life? Maybe you've been feeling tense or irritable, struggling with school, socializing, or even daily routines. Together, we'll work on calming those feelings and improving how you interact with family and friends. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with communication and often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients reshape their thinking patterns, manage their emotions, and break free from harmful thought cycles. With nearly a decade of experience and a collaborative, non-judgmental approach, my goal is to empower clients to express themselves and communicate their needs effectively.

I thoroughly enjoy working young adult clients. This stage of life is filled with change, exploration of self, and forging of independence -- this can also mean that it's not always easy to ask for help, and a degree of hesitancy exists to allow even the most loving family members and friends into their worlds. I regularly work with clients that are struggling with major life transitions, depression, anxiety, or eating disorders. My clients are often seeking safety, understanding, and freedom from their negative thoughts. The foundation of my approach is person-centered and humanistic. I believe in the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship and a non-judgmental space to process life experiences.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough? Maybe your mind keeps running through everything you haven’t finished, or you catch yourself worrying about details long after everyone else has moved on. It might feel like you’re juggling so much and still not measuring up, even when you’re giving it your all. Over time, that constant pressure can feel exhausting and leave you wondering if things will ever feel different. More than anything, you want life to feel lighter, calmer, and more manageable.I work with teens and adults navigating ADHD, OCD, and anxiety. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in a way that feels approachable and practical. In our sessions, we’ll practice strategies in real time so you can build confidence and take tools into daily life.

In our initial sessions, I will encourage you to engage in activities that nurture your emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental well-being. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely. Together, we’ll work to uncover your inner strengths and coping strategies, helping you move toward healing, growth, and recovery. My passion for this work stems from a commitment to helping individuals recognize their own potential and navigate life’s challenges with resilience. My goal is to guide you on your journey to a more fulfilling, balanced life.
