I have specialized in OCD and anxiety for the past 9 years, and the depression that is often associated with it.
I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety, Depression, Substance Abuse, and working with couples on relationships. I work with adolescents and adults and provide therapy for people who feel like these issues are getting in the way of their goals, impacting their lives negatively, and feel stuck. My goal is to understand the obstacles that are holding you back and help you make the changes that you desire in your life. Change is hard and I'm here to provide guidance, techniques, strategies, and tools that you can use to begin making a difference in your life.

I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, cultural identity exploration, and trauma. Maybe you are emotionally numb, need someone to listen, are terrified of discussing painful experiences, or don't have the right words to articulate how you are feeling. You are not alone. Seeking external help and sharing your most vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and experiences is highly intimate and courageous, let alone with an initial stranger. I have immense respect for those taking this step, and I am humbled to be a part of your mental health journey.

I work with people navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, difficult family dynamics, and adjustments. Do you frequently find yourself unheard, overwhelmed, withdrawn, and/or stressed? If so, I would be happy to walk alongside you on your journey and help you go from feeling isolated and misunderstood to feeling connected, seen, and understood.

I especially enjoy working with those who have experienced sexual trauma, are struggling with shame, anxiety, codependency, perfectionism, and burnout, or are longing for deeper and more authentic connection with self and others.
I am passionate about the heart and deeply committed to seeing you live more fully by engaging yours. Because your needs are as unique and valuable as your story, my therapy is grounded in Person-Centered Theory. I trust you to be the expert on your own life, and thus the expert in the room. My approach to therapy is integrative and trauma-informed. While drawing from Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR and Play and Expressive Arts Therapy, my focus remains on the most powerful tool, the relationship. From my own healing journey, I have come to believe we're wounded in the context of relationship, and we heal in relationship, too.

My approach is rooted in therapies such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing to address racial issues, complex trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
You're carrying the weight of navigating a world that often feels like it wasn't built for you.

I'm here to help you heal, reclaim your life, and thrive! I understand that navigating these challenges can be incredibly difficult and that they can leave deep emotional scars. As a therapist working with individuals facing these issues, I deeply understand how these challenges can manifest and uniquely impact your life, and I recognize the interconnectedness between them.

I bring a direct, collaborative, and compassionate approach to decrease that constant anxiety and fear to bring my clients to a place of clarity and peace where they know that they're capable of handling life’s uncertainties.
My practice is focused on decreasing anxiety and fear to help my clients develop a clearer idea of who they are, what they feel, and what they need. Clients who seek my care are often looking for ways to feel more confident and less fearful of the future so they can live in the moment, instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Feeling the need to achieve at all costs, focusing only on “what’s next”, and feeling a constant need to stay busy are all experiences I help adults learn to recognize, reframe, and conquer.

It is natural to experience a range of emotions; some flooding us thoroughly, and others frozen at our core. Sometimes we all feel challenged by life itself. This is why it can be helpful to seek out a therapist. My counseling practice is focused on helping adults and teens who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. The foundation of my practice is layered. In order to effectively work together, I believe that it is important to understand your past, as it informs your present. Much of our resilience stems from our interactions with attachment figures—It is necessary to consider the context of our life.

You might be the kind of person who is used to having it all figured out and can usually manage things on your own, but lately it’s been feeling like too much to handle. Stress is starting to negatively impact your relationships, work and health. Trying to carry this weight can be emotionally and physically exhausting especially when you’re trying to do it alone.
