“My practice focuses on individuals who feel they fall outside of traditional narratives of what our lives "should" look like. This may show up in your relationships, sexuality, gender, or general approach to life. Through our work together, I can help you identify what works for you and what is better left behind.”

“I try not to limit who I work with, but over time it has become clear I am particularly helpful for people who feel stuck in their patterns. That might be a habit of ruminating on the past or anxious worry about the future for example. Sometimes stuck patterns are interpersonal, like repeating the same arguments with a loved one or falling into what feels like the same relationship over and over again. Other times stuck patterns relates to work, school, or struggles with every-day tasks and chores. One more pattern I often work with is internal: habitually feeling the same distressing feeling. People in these situations have generally tried a lot and are confused about what's not working, frustrated or even hopeless about the prospect of change.”

“I am accepting new clients. I specialize in helping Gen Z and Millennials (individuals and couples, ages 15-45) who struggle with anxiety, life transitions, communication, attachment wounds, and trauma. Together, we will make space for your whole story - the good, the difficult, especially the parts that may have been misunderstood or dismissed. We’ll look at the patterns keeping you stuck, challenge the thoughts that make things harder, and build coping tools that work for your life. I offer non-judgmental sessions, with a little bit of humor - I believe humor can healing!”

“Adult (22+) men, women and couples”

“You’re exhausted from the constant mental noise: overthinking everything you said, questioning your relationship, replaying conversations, and trying to get certainty that never seems to stick. Anxiety has started to run the show, whether it’s panic in everyday situations, intrusive thoughts that feel scary or “not you,” or rituals you can’t seem to stop no matter how hard you try. You might look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside it feels like a loop you can’t turn off. You’re tired of avoiding, overanalyzing, and feeling stuck. I work with individuals who are ready to break out of that cycle, especially those dealing with anxiety, OCD, panic attacks or phobias, so you can start trusting yourself again, feel more present, and actually enjoy your life instead of constantly managing fear. You don't need more coping skills. You just need your life back!”

“I work with adult women navigating issues related to life transitions, anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, and low self-esteem.”

“I work with children, teenagers, adults, and older adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, executive-functioning difficulties, low self-esteem, substance-use concerns, family stress, aging-related concerns, or major life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting clients who want to understand themselves more deeply while developing practical, sustainable skills for everyday life. My approach can be helpful for individuals who feel overwhelmed, scattered, emotionally stuck, misunderstood, or unsure how to move forward. I welcome clients who want therapy to be collaborative, individualized, and judgment-free. I provide individual therapy but do not currently offer couples counseling. My outpatient practice may not be appropriate for individuals experiencing an immediate crisis or requiring a higher level of care.”
