Great to meet you!

Rather than just talk therapy or passive listening, I provide empowering, collaborative, skills-building therapy methods. Gain confidence and get unstuck from anxiety, panic, looping thoughts, OCD and maladaptive coping patterns, such as people-pleasing, self-berating, guilt-tripping, sabotaging, reactivity, avoidance, codependency, resentment and conflict cycles. Learn evidence-based tools to calm your nervous system and process even the most painful emotions and triggers.

My approach to therapy

Build self-awareness, self-trust and self-leadership with social-emotional health skills, balanced boundaries, clearer thinking, communication tools and more.
