You're the person everyone leans on, steady at work, dependable at home. But on the inside, you're battling with intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, people pleasing, or having trouble focusing. It's become too much! I’m here to tell you that not only is it okay to need help, helping people uncover what’s underneath the stress and create a life filled with joy is my jam! Together we will work to untangle those racing thoughts and patterns that keep your nervous system on high alert, then develop skills and boundaries that help you feel steadier in real life.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe mental health is an essential part of living a grounded and meaningful life. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and high personal standards that often lead to negative self-talk. Through Essential Being Therapy, my goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build self-compassion, and reconnect with their essential being.

I work with individuals, couples and families with teenagers who are struggling with managing stress, depression and anxiety, sexual issues (such as porn use, kink and gender issues), parenting and couples relationship conflicts, as well as helping individuals move on from past experiences of trauma or loss. I have a doctorate in Social Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology. I have a solid and extensive background and training in treating addictions and substance abuse.
