Great to meet you!

So many people spend their lives trying to keep up, hold it all together, and be everything for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted underneath. On the outside, you may seem like you are doing okay. Underneath, you may be overthinking everything or carrying too much on your own. I work with children, teens, college students, and young adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Our work starts right there, in the real, messy moments where life feels like a lot or you simply want a space to exhale, slow down, and reconnect with yourself.

My approach to therapy

My passion lies in supporting people navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, burnout, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth, less about “fixing” you and more about helping you better understand yourself while building tools and support that actually fit your real life.

What you can expect from me

I draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and relational approaches, tailoring therapy to your unique needs and stage of life. Our time together can be a space to slow down, feel genuinely understood without judgment, and have someone walk alongside you with compassion and support as you reconnect with yourself and move toward a more meaningful life.
