You feel stuck in the same habits, relationship patterns or persistent worry about what to do next or why you feel unfulfilled. This feeling pervades everything, including your sense of self-worth, and can make it difficult to voice your needs and wants, or even have clarity on your true desires in life. You might find yourself thinking: "What if I never find my purpose?" "What if I'm not able to live a fulfilling life?" "What if I stay stuck in the same toxic relationship and never find a fulfilling partnership?" "I have no idea how to love myself but everywhere I look, it seems like that's required."

I know what it is like to feel stuck, like things will never change despite your best efforts. My life's work centers around helping people untangle the parts of life that feel overwhelming, while finding freedom and purpose in the process. I know how to help people feel hope again.

As a neurodivergent practitioner and person who stutters, I understand pain and anxiety and take a unique approach to healing. I have worked in clinical settings treating anxiety, mood disorders, codependency, depression, addiction, and trauma. Your path will look different from any other because it is YOURS.

I help you identify, challenge and dismantle limiting beliefs that have lodged in your psyche in order to address existential worries. I incorporate cognitive/behavioral skills to give you tools to face these thoughts. The work we do in session addresses the shame, fear and attachment that keep us estranged from ourselves, using mindful body awareness to ground and heal in the process.
