Are you exhausted with having to seem “okay”? Do you feel disconnected from yourself, or the people you love? Many of us want to have a more harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world around us, but don't know where to start. Whether you want to find your zest for life, process trauma that is holding you back, or better manage mental illness, I would love to help you on your journey.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I recognize that mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Gender roles, cultural expectations, and systemic stress shape how we cope—and how we suffer.
