In my practice, I aim to empower clients to deepen their self-understanding, cultivate self-worth, and nurture self-love. Rooted in empathy, I gently encourage clients to explore underlying issues that continue to impact their lives. I foster a space where individuals feel fully accepted, valued, and respected. All are welcome! I’m passionate about supporting individuals who have faced trauma, encounter challenges in their relationships, struggle with low self-esteem, grapple with anxiety and depression, or just want a place to process everyday stressors (or someone to share your latest Netflix obsession with).

You know you aren’t living your fullest life, because fear and anxiety is interfering with what you want and need to do. All you want to do is break free from this anxiety! I get it, and I can help you. Anxiety is treatable, and I have particular expertise treating phobias and OCD. It's exhausting to cope with anxiety, and it can make you vulnerable to depression, burnout, and problems at home and with your job. I am confident that therapy can help you find relief from the grip of fear, panic and anxiety. The same way that anxiety can spiral out of control, it can also spiral back down to a soft landing of serenity and confidence.
