Having healthy self-esteem is increasingly challenging in today's society. Everywhere you look, there is somebody to compare yourself to. With the pandemic and increased isolation, it has become harder to feel good about our social interactions with others. It's easy to feel as if you'll never be enough. I work hard with my clients to focus on the root issues of low self-esteem and how we can walk with renewed confidence in who we are.

Personal growth involves getting to know yourself well. We first need to understand who we are and where we come from. From there we can develop clear plans and goals which can be broken down into obtainable steps. This is a process that I truly enjoy walking through with my clients.

I believe that preventing burnout, finding joy, and flourishing is the ultimate revenge against living and working in broken systems. As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping you navigate these challenges with resilience and creativity. Together, we’ll uncover ways to protect your energy, rediscover what brings you joy, and create a life where you thrive. You’re not just surviving—you’re reclaiming your power and proving that you can flourish, no matter the circumstances.

Narrative therapy is like rewriting the movie of your life where you stop being the awkward sidekick and become the epic main character. We’ll dig into your story, find the plot holes, and kick out those unhelpful narrators saying, “You’re not good enough.” Then, we’ll rewrite it with YOU as the hero, complete with triumphs, growth, and maybe even a killer soundtrack. It’s all about owning your story and making it one you’re proud to star in—no cheesy plot twists allowed!

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is like emotional ninja training. It teaches you how to balance acceptance and change—kind of like walking a tightrope while juggling flaming swords (but way less dangerous). You’ll learn to handle big feelings without flipping tables, communicate like a pro, and calm your inner storm. It’s about becoming the cool, collected version of yourself who can tackle life’s chaos with mindfulness and maybe even a little sass. Think of it as emotional adulting 101!

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is like being the detective of your own brain. It helps you uncover the sneaky, unhelpful thoughts causing chaos in your life—like that inner voice insisting you're doomed because you forgot a meeting. Together, we’ll interrogate those thoughts, challenge their logic, and replace them with more helpful ones. It’s basically training your brain to stop being dramatic and start being your best ally. Think of it as a mental makeover with fewer HGTV montages!

As a therapist, I take a unique approach to anxiety that goes beyond the standard advice you’ve likely heard before. I understand that anxiety isn’t just something you can “breathe through” or “think away.” Together, we’ll explore its deeper roots, uncover patterns, and develop practical, personalized strategies that truly work for you. I use creative, holistic techniques to help you break free from the cycle of anxiety and reclaim a sense of calm, confidence, and control over your life.

I’m a great therapist for those navigating spirituality issues because I’ve personally deconstructed from high-control religion. I understand the pain, confusion, and complexity of untangling identity, relationships, and beliefs. This journey taught me to reclaim autonomy, trust myself, and find meaning on my own terms. I bring deep empathy and insight to help you process your experiences, rebuild authentically, and find joy in a life aligned with your values. You don’t have to do it alone.
