New Clients Welcome! Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or depression? You don’t have to navigate these things alone. Whether it’s anxiety that keeps you stuck in overdrive, burnout that makes everything feel like too much or the weight of perfectionism and people-pleasing that never lets you rest—I’m here to help you untangle the big ball of emotions that can feel so heavy. Maybe financial stress is keeping you up at night or past experiences have left you feeling stuck in cycles of uncertainty and self-doubt. We’ll work through it together. My approach to therapy is no-nonsense, real support that meets you wherever you're at.

I aim to create a space for you that feels like home—a place where you can be unapologetically yourself without judgment. With a blend of person-centered therapy and evidence-based techniques, we’ll customize a path that works for you. People I work with often report feeling more empowered, confident, and ready to face life’s challenges with clarity.

Finding the right therapist can be tough, that's why I offer a free 15-minute phone consult to see if we’re the right fit. If you’re ready for a therapist who genuinely listens and cares about your journey, click the ‘Email Me’ button above or give me a call. Let’s take the first step towards making your life feel more manageable and fulfilling.

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a type of therapy I can use to help you heal from trauma. During our sessions, I'll ask you to think about a traumatic memory while guiding you through bilateral eye movements or tapping. This process helps your brain better process the memory, making it less distressing for you over time.
