Great to meet you!

I consider myself just the right balance of “woo woo” and realism. I bring warmth, humor, and a no-BS approach to my work. I approach psychotherapy through a holistic lens, honoring each person’s lived experience, body wisdom, and inner voice. Every person is worthy and deserving of reaching their fullest potential —including you.

My approach to therapy

Our thoughts hold a lot of power. When anxious thoughts take over your brain space, it leaves little room for the things you love. Negative self talk and unrealistic perfectionistic tendencies can leave us feeling like we're not enough and fearful of fulfilling our passions. Your confidence, your friendships, your relationship...all of them are impacted by the narrative inside our brains. I’m here to empower you as we work together to uncover things that no longer serve you, so you can regain your freedom and build the life you want.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help you understand what's keeping you stuck and equip you with strategies to build trust and confidence in yourself. It’s a privilege to provide a welcoming space where you can show up as your authentic self. My commitment is to provide a balance of supporting you while challenging you to make positive and sustainable changes.
