I have always been driven to listen, to understand and to help others. I know for many people, myself included, asking for help can be a scary and vulnerable thing to do.

I believe everyone has their own story, path, and struggle; it is my desire to meet you where you are at and help you grow into the person you would be proud to be. It is common for us to acc...

Do you drag yourself through your days at work or school with a fake smile on your face?

I get it. It's hard to balance t...

Change is not linear. I have come to understand the numerous challenges in life that can make you feel as if you have gone nowhere. The anxiety that sets in is alarming and the depression that may later consume you feels debilitating. However, I have also come to understand the impact that we have on our own suffering: how we often jump to "I can't" instead of "I can try." We have all found ourselves deep in self-doubt, feeling stuck in the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Are you looking for...

By now, you’ve probably scrolled through countless profiles, thinking, "None of these people feel right for me—who even are they?" Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but never felt like your therapist truly "got it." And yet, you know it can be helpful. Something has got to change because the way things are right now just isn’t working. You’ve managed to get by—you’ve handled the worries, feel like you've moved (mostly) past the traumas (if you can even call them that, you wonder). But "gettin...
