Have you have been finding it harder to feel joy, self-acceptance, or it's becoming harder by the day to simply stay afloat? In life, we are often made to feel flawed for being human, but I want you to know that you deserve a space that is healing, supportive, and free of judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I feel honored to help others navigate painful events, emotions, and disordered eating behaviors so that they are able to live their life to its full potential and appreciate their authentic selves. Opening up about our pain can feel like a risk, but I hope in our work together, you realize you're worth this risk.

The creation of a meaningful life can be undertaken at any time. People are resilient and capable of change; this capacity allows individuals to understand where they have come from, where they want to be, and to shift their lives in a positive direction. Psychotherapy facilitates this dynamic process. My practice focuses on a collaborative relationship that cultivates awareness, compassion, and agency-my goal is to empower individuals to transform personal vulnerabilities into paths of growth that lead to states of wellbeing.

My hope is to walk alongside folx and support people who may find themselves struggling with anxiety or depression. If you find yourself seeking an internal sense of control through perfectionism, or seeking an external sense of safety through people-pleasing, I would be honored to support you as you learn to increase self-compassion, soften expectations, and identify your needs, limits, and boundaries, to support your sense of well-being. I enjoy helping those who have felt like no one knows them, truly feel seen and safe in their vulnerability and full authentic self.

Greetings! No matter what your reason is for seeking counseling, there is no better way to find solutions for life's challenges, big or small, than to share them with an impartial ear. Years ago, I was introduced to the concept that I can only learn that much about myself, which I am willing to share with another person, who can objectively reflect back what was heard. Then the opportunity to learn if I had any skewed thinking that affected my life choices or interpretations was presented. The pursuit of deeper understanding and reflection began for me, and after more life experience, I set out to be that person for others.
