Life can feel overwhelming — and sometimes the weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma can make it hard to see a way forward. I'm here to help you make sense of what you're carrying and find a path toward feeling more like yourself again.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience supporting adults through some of life's most difficult moments. Over the past 3.5 years as an independently licensed therapist, I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients navigating anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices — evidence-backed tools that I tailor to fit you, not the other way around.

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and safe. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and I'm committed to creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment.

Life can feel like juggling 20 things at once—especially when you’re trying to heal, grow, and keep everything together. You may look capable on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, distracted, misunderstood, or stuck.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults through ADHD, anxiety, mood concerns, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women, neurodivergent adults, POC , and anyone who has ever felt different, judged, or outside of what society considers “normal.”

My approach makes room for culture, identity, and each client’s lived experience.

My style is relaxed, warm, open-minded, and direct. You will not have to mask, perform, or edit yourself in sessions. I provide a judgment-free space where we can be honest, explore what is really happening, and develop realistic steps toward your goals.

Evening and late-evening appointments are available for clients who need therapy to fit around work, parenting, school, or everyday life.

👉 Book a session today, and let’s start this journey toward healing and growth.

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.
