Do you find it hard to prioritize yourself over others? Are you tired of being at the bottom of your own list of people to take care of? Maybe you're always looking toward the next goal to help you feel more fulfilled, but it never quite does. You've worked hard to get to where you are, only to feel confused because your success and putting others first hasn't made you feel content. You're struggling with anxiety, your relationships, and feeling dissatisfied with your life. This can be frustrating, but things can get better.

Are you starting to wonder if what you feel is "normal"? Maybe anxiety is getting to the point where it is an exhausting, everyday occurrence, and you'd like to get back in control of your life. Everyone struggles with overwhelming situations and emotions from time to time, and I am a firm believer that no obstacle you are facing right now is too big to tackle. As your therapist, I will use practical strategies that will guide you in your journey of empowerment and assist with creating a strengthened sense of self. I will help you make sense of difficult experiences and guide you to the life you most want to live.

If anxiety and fear have more control over your life than you do, you are not alone. Living with relentless-intrusive thoughts, scary images, paralyzing anxiety, and mental and health-related fears is exhausting. If you support a loved one suffering from OCD or anxiety, it can be just as painful. Being pregnant or a new parent adds additional stress and responsibility, which can make symptoms worse. Working with me, you will gain a better understanding of what is happening, reduce unwanted symptoms like anxiety, fear, and shame, and learn helpful tools and coping skills to manage all of it.

I help stressed, perfectionistic students and professionals learn how to relax. Too much self-control, or overcontrol, makes it hard to enjoy life and connect meaningfully with others. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Overcontrol can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and intimacy avoidance. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folks for over 10 years. Together, we can get you unstuck and harness your self-control as a strength.

When anxiety becomes overwhelming, it interferes with relationships, confidence, and the ability to perform your best. Breaking the avoidance, overthinking, checking and self-doubt cycle is possible.

I have over 11 years of counseling experience and 20 years in the mental health field.
