I understand that life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered to take control of your emotions and relationships.

I am dedicated to helping clients develop effective tools for emotion regulation & interpersonal effectiveness.
You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you feel more confident and have healthier relationships.
Do you get caught in repetitive unhealthy cycles? Anxious thought loops or the same relationship mistakes over and over? Our fast-paced culture can be challenging for personal growth, but together we can collaborate to find tools that work for you. Whether you are seeking happiness in relationships, anxiety management, healing from trauma or better ways to communicate, we can work together toward your goals.

I know what it's like when your mind constantly wanders, except for those times when you get intensely focused on the wrong things, making it hard to pull away. The anxiety of everything you need to do looms over you. At home, everyone expects you to organize their lives while you struggle to organize your own. You feel frustrated for not meeting their expectations and can't comprehend why you can't accomplish things you know you should be able to do. Life feels chaotic and out of control.
Sexuality & pleasure are often stigmatized, this plays into how we feel about ourselves, our bodies and in relation to others. I specialize in sex, and relationship issues with couples/partners towards undoing harmful stories which harm us and create shame. I work from a trauma informed lens to undo and empower. I work with clients to signifcantly reduce distress and undo longer standing concerns.
Are you struggling with feeling inferior; feeling superior; needing to be perfect; feeling you're a burden; or people pleasing? When we grow up in difficult circumstances, we come up with these beliefs/ways of being as a way to help us feel a little more safe. As difficult as it is to hold these beliefs about ourselves, they somehow help us feel better. As we grow up, they create difficulties in our adult relationships.
I work with children, adolescents/teens and adults who may need a little extra support navigating social relationships, building self-esteem, navigating stress or mood changes, or who may be having trouble balancing the demands of school, work, and/or relationships. I also have extensive experience working with individuals and their families that identify as LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent.
People seek therapy for so many reasons, but mostly we all want to feel loved, safe & understood. We want to feel a sense purpose & feel good enough as we are & yet so many of us struggle to feel these ways. Sometimes our lives look very different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling disconnected or numb, uncertain or alone. We might be questioning who we are or the direction we are heading & need to find some clarity, perspective or hope.

Are you feeling sad more often than usual? Feeling stress or anxious due to work, family, or school demands? Need someone to talk to about a traumatic event or losing a loved one? If any of the things listed above relates to you, then psychotherapy may help. I admire you for being brave and looking into psychotherapy so give yourself a pat on the back.
I work with clients to help them better navigate their experiences so that they can feel more authentic and aligned as they move through the world. Societal and cultural pressures affect each of us differently. I practice in a way that acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. I know that when you walk into the room, you bring with you experiences I've never had and I believe that you are the expert on your own lived experience.
Does your mind jump from one worry to the next? Are you struggling to stay present because you're caught in cycles of anxious rumination? Maybe you doubt every decision you make. You may feel like you're struggling to manage your emotions, like it's hard to bounce back when something goes wrong, and it's causing you to feel bad about yourself. I get it! My goal is to help you break free from cycles of anxiety and doubt, and to build self- trust.
