Individuals see me when their minds, heart, and body don't align. You know you're amazing, yet, beat yourself up or feel a sinking sensation when you show up for yourself. Maybe you experience difficulty in relationships or with life dreams and desires. Maybe you'd like to feel more confident or connected, trust yourself, or explore what drives certain behaviors. Your internal voice knows something isn't right, but you can't put your finger on it, or there are too many loose ends tangled together, and you could use some help sorting out what is yours and what isn't.

No matter if this is your first time coming for therapy or your 15th time to try again. Life happens.

Areas of clinical focus are academic issues, addiction, anxiety, codependency, depression, LGBTQ+ identities, life transitions, PTSD, and trauma.
