Hello! I approach therapy in a holistic and collaborative way. I work with young adults navigating life transitions. Life transitions may involve starting college, starting a new job, moving to a new city, relationship changes, or just having a feeling of being stuck and wanting change. I have a passion for working with females managing symptoms of anxiety and ADHD. I incorporate humor and creativity to build a safe and non-judgmental space to work. My goal is to help you stop seeing yourself in deficits, but rather your strengths and what makes you unique so that you can live life feeling free and at peace .

I specialize in moving people into stronger positions of agency in their lives. Being alone with overwhelming emotions intensifies our pain. It also blocks psychological growth, depletes our emotional resources, and undermines creative problem-solving and well-being. I provide a competently-directed treatment process that can help untangle complicated feelings and experiences and awaken the possibility of change.

It takes courage to seek out therapy, so congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of therapeutic healing and connection to self and others. What happens in the therapeutic setting in conjunction with lifestyle enhancements can, over time, bring about lasting change. With gentle facilitation, you can increase awareness of body and mind and enhance mood, motivation, agency, and integration of skills. These self-improvements allow for a more self-directed life that can be lived more fully through consciously curated personal values and choices.

We each carry within us our unique wisdom, strength and resiliency that, with the right support, can become to the keys to our personal healing. Yet we all go through periods where life circumstances- traumas, life transitions, or relationship difficulties- overwhelm our ability to make sense of our experiences. Perhaps your reactions don't make rational sense to you or your loved ones. Maybe old coping strategies no longer cut it anymore. It can be confusing, terrifying and lonely to not be able to make sense of the storm happening inside of us. It can also be a turning point, a moment to expand into a deeper version of ourselves.
