Seeking therapy can feel daunting, and I want to acknowledge your courage in taking this brave step forward! If you’re feeling disconnected from yourself or emotionally exhausted from trying to hold it all together, therapy can offer a space to slow down and reconnect with who you are beneath anxiety, people pleasing, masking, perfectionism, and more. I specialize in working with young adults— especially women, students, and folks in their 20s and 30s— who are overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, and looking for a grounded place to heal and come home to themselves.

From the start of therapy, I bring warmth, curiosity, playfulness, and a calming presence to create a safe and inviting environment. In our work together, I prioritize building a strong relational foundation that serves as a catalyst for deep healing. Based on your unique needs, I’ll thoughtfully integrate depth-oriented, EMDR, somatic, trauma-informed, and skills-based (ACT, CBT, DBT) approaches. I offer affirming, collaborative care that moves at your pace, honoring your autonomy every step of the way. My approach emphasizes helping you make sense of your experiences while empowering you to develop skills to navigate challenges with greater confidence, self-compassion, and resilience.

Specialties & Expertise:

  • Anxiety, People Pleasing, & Perfectionism
  • Trauma, CPTSD, Attachment, & Inner Child Work
  • Life Transitions, Self-Esteem & Interpersonal Relationships

  • Grief, Depression, & Mood Disorders

In early sessions, we focus on creating safety and trust, gently explore what you’ve been carrying, and identify goals that offer clarity, direction, and flexibility. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, I am passionate about helping clients move toward a life that feels truly authentic and aligned with who they are becoming. In therapy with me, there is no “right” way to show up. If you have questions or would like to schedule a session, I’d love to connect with you. It would be an honor to support you on your healing journey- I’m so happy you’re here!
