    I am here to provide a supportive space to help you navigate persistent anxiety, depression, or cycles of self-doubt in everyday life, which may or may not stem from lingering past stress. Sometimes traditional talk therapy isn’t enough; I integrate mind-body techniques to help you become more aware of how these patterns are physically held in your body. By learning to tune into these signals, we can develop curiosity toward physical tension and the inner critic. My goal is to help you build greater connection, understanding, and trust in yourself, leading to meaningful shifts in perspective.

    I have worked with adults, veterans, and first responders struggling with challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, and substance abuse. My approach is to meet you where you are while encouraging you to build and grow into your best self. We are all unique and no two people are the same. Therefore, my therapy is not a one size fits all. Since we require different approaches, I combine my modalities and theories to provide you with the best treatment for your individual needs. I use accelerated resolution therapy (ART) and am trauma certified. I encourage you to be your own advocate while learning to connect the dots along your journey and pave your own path to healing and serenity. Life can be overwhelming and at times, utterly exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through any obstacles you may face, to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change. If there is one thing that I know, it is that together we can fix this and together we will find your serenity!

    My goal is to empower clients to take control and manage their symptoms independently. I help clients gain insight into their challenges and how they experience mental health symptoms in their lives. I provide psychoeducation to support this insight and work with clients to develop concrete coping skills. Together, we identify short- and long-term goals for therapy and stay focused on achieving them. Clients can increase their emotional intelligence as they learn to manage daily stressors.

    Welcome! I know early adulthood can be a lot. Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about what you’re “supposed” to be doing is more common than you think. I work with young adults (18–25) navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression, offering a supportive, down-to-earth space to talk things through and build practical tools for everyday life. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy—just a willingness to show up. Life is easier when you don’t have to go through it alone.

I am particularly sensitive to those pushed to the margins of society due to their identities and offer support and psychoeducation to help mitigate harmful impacts.
