You deserve more than just getting through the day. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from yourself, or caught in the same painful patterns no matter how hard you try to change them, you're not alone. You may have learned to survive, but now you're ready to truly heal.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's difficult transitions by creating a space where you can finally exhale and show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll help you reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, and build a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and authentic. Even through video sessions, our work will feel warm, engaging, and deeply collaborative, supporting healing in your mind, body, and spirit.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.
