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.

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.

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.
Many clients come to me feeling stuck in unsatisfying relationships. They crave deeper connections with partners, parents, or other important figures, but despite expressing their needs, nothing seems to change. They often find themselves caught in cycles of frustration, vowing not to get angry or to "just let things go," only to feel overwhelmed again. Emotions like anxiety, anger, and sadness can feel unmanageable, and they may be triggered by small or unexpected events.
It takes great courage to take the first step in seeking support for past or current experiences. As a therapist, I use a collaborative approach to explore areas of concern and establish goals towards personal growth and change. In doing so, my goal is to provide a safe environment that is free of judgement when embarking on your journey of healing and self-improvement.
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 specialize in working with individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, addiction, personality disorders, trauma/PTSD, sexual abuse, and DV.
