Hello there, thanks for visiting. I'm a licensed psychologist with 10+ years experience helping individuals develop self-esteem and healthy relationships. Clients that work well with me tend to present a stronger front than they feel internally. They take pride in being independent and having high stress-tolerance, but are prone to burnout, loneliness, and relationship problems because they don't trust anybody to be helpful or "do things right." If this sounds relatable, you might be exhausted from always needing to be "good", to know better, be the "responsible" or "mature" one, but afraid of what'll happen if you stopped.

Feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, dealing with effects of trauma or relationship struggles and uncertain of what your next step should be? Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we just want to be understood. We are all works in progress and have a natural ability to heal and thrive.

I primarily work with adult women with anxiety, looking to improve self-esteem, facing a difficult life transitions, relationship struggles, and prior trauma.

There are many things in life that can make us feel powerless and believe that we are not good enough. However, you don’t have to go through it alone. It shows a great deal of strength to be able to reach out for support in times of need. I believe that through changing our core beliefs, learning effective coping skills, and utilizing the strengths you already have, you can have the life you want. I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to therapy that is tailored to each individual client.
