Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the list? Are you going through a difficult life transition? Do you feel like you are not as happy or content as you could be, and would like to function better? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how they are supposed to manage relationships, careers, and life. I believe as humans we all struggle with these issues at times, and accepting an outside perspective for support can be helpful.

I help people who experience depression and anxiety find relief. You’re not sure how it happened, but there they are-those dark feelings you can’t shake. You may be feeling unmotivated and down. You may feel overwhelmed and plagued with constant fears and worries. You may be having a hard time at work or school/college. You don’t feel good enough and your relationships are suffering. These problems feel daunting, but you’re ready to make a change.

It takes a lot of strength and personal fortitude to come to therapy, and I know it can be an uncomfortable and daunting process. Just getting yourself through the door is a huge win, and our best looks different every day. I believe building a strong relationship is at the core of a therapeutic and healing space, and the client is the expert of their own experience. I work to create a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space to work collaboratively in exploring whatever might be going on.

I am currently on a waitlist for talk therapy and only accepting new KAP clients currently. Fifteen years ago, in my late 20s, I faced an existential crisis. The pain and shame of knowing I was meant for more—more happiness, meaning, and purpose—without knowing how to get there was overwhelming. At times, terrifying. With the help of others, I discovered my unique path to an authentic, self-led life. My mission as a therapist is to return that gift. I believe we all have an innate ability to heal from past wounds, rewrite our inner story, and reunite with a sense of self that feels whole, connected, and fulfilled.
