Let's stop the anxiety spiral together! I I work with adolescents and adults. Drop your mask in here and learn to stop apologizing for who you truly are. Feel more comfortables in situations and stop spiraling using practical tools. It's time to stop feeling ashamed how how you think things should be! Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD and creative burnout can be overwhelming. Perhaps your brain won't turn off at night, decision-making feels impossible, or even basic tasks drain your energy. Especially when they show up in every part of life; work, your relationships, kids or parenting. That's okay. We can work with your brain and body.

I am a LICSW who genuinely values people, their stories, and the experiences that have shaped who they are. I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, respected, and treated with dignity. Personally, my faith and relationship with God are important to me, and that has strengthened my values of compassion, kindness, service, and respect for others. At the same time, I deeply respect that spirituality, and faith can look very different for every person. I honor each client’s beliefs, values, culture, identity, and personal journey, whether spirituality is an important part of their life or not.

I believe people should be able to come to therapy as their whole selves. I value and respect each client’s identity, cultural background, relationships, gender identity, sexual orientation, family experiences, spirituality, and the communities they feel connected to. My goal is to create an environment where clients feel accepted, understood, and free to be authentic without fear of judgment.

You can’t break out of a cage you’re still trying to decorate. I’ve been many people’s 4th/5th/8th/9th therapist and been told they felt like something finally clicked for them. I care about it clicking. My approach is based on self-compassion and living an integrated life. Even if you’re motivated to change, it’s still hard because negative events can shape beliefs about the world and ourselves that we often don’t even realize we hold. So we start with self-compassion, and then work on trying to bring our actions into alignment with our goals. I’ve been a therapist for over a decade now, and I promise – self-compassion is the move.
