You're looking to untie emotional knots that complicate fulfilling relationships and developing confidence. In treatment, we'll work together to uncover core emotional issues, learning techniques that foster insight about how these issues affect you, both in the past and present. I believe these insights can support you to make meaningful changes.

I specialize in working with women in young adulthood and midlife who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity-related questions, "family history stuff," existential malaise, perimenopausal & menopausal transitions, spiritual concerns, and issues related to gender and sexuality. My goal is to help you experience greater self-awareness, freedom, and comfort in your skin. My style is warm and compassionate, while also being direct and (oftentimes) challenging. I bring humor to the therapeutic process and love what I do for a living.

Welcome! The people I work with come to therapy for a lot of reasons. Some severe- suicidal ideation, trauma, dissociation, self-harm, moments of crisis. Others appear to have a life that seems fine- stable work and/or relationships but experience a persistent and burbling sense that life is not as satisfying as it could be. Some have a question- should I leave my partner? My job? Have a baby? Transition? Who am I? What is art? Others are trying to figure out how to manage neurodiversity or plurality in a world that is not built for them.

I specialize in helping young adults and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds who are facing anxiety, identity challenges, and navigating life transitions.
You want to live a meaningful and fulfilled life, but instead, you feel exhausted, overwhelmed by anxiety, or uncertain about the future. Adjusting to a new place or navigating a major life transition can leave you questioning your identity. Are you struggling to reconcile who you’ve been with who you’re becoming? On the outside, everything seems fine, but on the inside, negative self-talk and self-doubt take over. You may appear in control, yet deep down, you feel disconnected from the life you want to live.

Beginning therapy can be a difficult step. But if you find yourself stuck, repeating the same ineffective, undermining coping mechanisms and unable to manage your emotions, then it might be time to start working together to help you identify more effective and constructive approaches to achieve your goals.

I strongly believe in the healing and transformative power of therapy and it is an honor to join clients in the therapeutic process of growth and self-understanding.
I currently work with adolescents and adults of all ages in individual therapy and specialize in working with clients with marginalized identities (e.g., racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities). My ideal client is willing to bring as much of themselves into the room (e.g., social/cultural identities, personal experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors) to foster more self-awareness and growth and make meaningful life changes.

Many people suffer under the weight of their sadness, fear, anger, and pain; others struggle to feel anything at all. Our self-esteem, relationships, or work can suffer as old cognitive, emotional, and behavioral paradigms are applied to new situations, often outside of our awareness. While it may seem daunting, exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences within the context of a safe therapeutic relationship can increase your access to, your awareness of, and your sense of control over your internal world. Through this process, you will find your strength, resilience, agency, and, ultimately, your freedom to more effectively shape your external world.

I’ve found that patients often come to me during a time of transition. They are often grappling with separation, connection, and impactful decisions; and many set out to address issues of identity, family concerns, relationships, and careers. Therapy can be a process of both healing and growing. Together we can explore important aspects of your past, while working to improve your present. I foster warm and collaborative relationships, and aim for patients to feel understood, supported, and appropriately challenged. I approach each new therapy relationship with curiosity, flexibility, and openness.
