Great to meet you!

Do you feel like you're drowning? Are you overwhelmed, burned out, or feeling disconnected from yourself? I specialize in treating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and insomnia. I help my clients have a better relationship with their emotions. I blend practical, science based tools with warmth and compassion. The result is therapy sessions that are supportive and leave you with actionable steps to reach your goals.

My approach to therapy

My style is to offer validation and empathy while using neuroscience to help you understand yourself, the issues, and how to move forward. I focus on the whole person not just 'problematic thoughts'. I am neurodiversity affirming and respect and honor all genders, orientations, faiths, and lived experiences. I work to cultivate a shame free environment.
