My ideal clients value a genuine connection and trust in our time together. I love witnessing “ah-ha” moments, where insights lead to growth and often bring laughter.

I help anxious and overwhelmed individuals navigate life stress, flourish in life transitions, and heal from painful experiences. You may be a young adult navigating a new life phase, you may be experiencing grief and loss, or you may be working through trauma. You may simply be looking to shift habits that are negatively affecting your life. All of these needs can be challenging to face alone, which is why working together in the context of a therapeutic alliance can be so helpful.

My ideal client faces life stressors, transitions, anxiety, depression, or mood disorders.

My clients often struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, and recovery from addiction. I bring an open and warm presence to sessions, and I enjoy guiding people toward positive change and watching their lives flourish over time.
Using evidence-based techniques, I help clients cope with anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, impostor syndrome, and procrastination. I also support them in building healthy friendships and partnerships, exploring identity issues, adjusting to new situations and life phases, and figuring out their personal and professional paths.
I serve clients from all walks of life and stages of development who are dedicated to personal growth and authenticity by providing them with the appropriate support, coping mechanisms, and tools. My experience with multiple populations has helped me realize the importance of looking at an individual as a whole, rather than just focusing on a specific issue. The mental, physical, and social aspects of an individual are all equally important.
