Great to meet you!

I help overwhelmed young adults and Millennial professionals who struggle with anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Does overthinking affect your day-to-day life or cause problems in relationships? Do you feel like you're the one that everyone comes to for help, but you have a hard time getting help for yourself? You're ambitious but you wonder if a balanced life is achievable. Now, more than ever, people are overwhelmed with juggling responsibilities, relationships, careers, and trying to find their place in life; but there is hope.

My approach to therapy

I use an integrative approach that is based on each individual's needs. I start by understanding the challenges you are experiencing, help you learn how to change unhelpful thoughts & behavior patterns, to improve your self-esteem, manage anxiety, & develop healthier relationships.

What you can expect from me

My role is to provide support and encouragement as you work towards your goals. I give you space to be heard, and allow you to reflect on the changes that you want to make that align with your values. I'm looking forward to working with you.
