Great to meet you!

Life in our 20s and 30s is a series of intense transitions and can feel like you're trying to hit a moving target. You might find yourself constantly anticipating what others need, saying "yes" when you mean "no," or feeling a wave of anxiety the moment you think about setting a boundary. When you spend all your energy managing everyone else's expectations, it becomes incredibly easy to lose track of your own voice, leaving you feeling disconnected from your true feelings and who you actually are. I specialize in helping adults in this age group untangle anxiety by connecting with their identity and choosing value-aligned actions.

My approach to therapy

I highly respect your autonomy and your unique path, after all - it got you to where you are! My style is collaborative, grounded in deep compassion, and brought to life with a bit of humor. I am here to challenge you to lean into the uncomfortable spaces, because that is exactly where you discover what you are truly capable of.

What you can expect from me

You deserve to take up space in your own life, feel grounded in your own choices, and write the next chapter. For a glimpse at how I view change therapy, you can learn more about my approach by watching my TEDx Talk, "Challenging the Stereotypes of Identity." I look forward to hearing from you and please reach out to schedule a free consultation call.
