Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Struggling with relationships or making decisions? Life can often feel out of control. Therapy can help. Finding the right therapist matters so here's a little about me to help you decide.

That experience inspired me to become that person for others. For over 12 years, I’ve worked as a psychotherapist, supporting clients through relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, career transitions, neurodivergence, parenting, burnout, and spiritual or existential questions. Every person is unique, which is why I take a collaborative and compassionate approach—tailoring evidence-based techniques to your specific needs and goals.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, quick to anger, or frustrated in your relationships — you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with feel like something just isn’t working, but they can’t quite explain why. Often, these struggles come from early experiences where emotions were ignored, dismissed, or too much for the adults around us to handle. As children, we learn fast: if expressing emotions doesn’t feel safe or accepted, we push them down. Over time, that emotional disconnection can turn into anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or anger that feels hard to control. My work focuses on helping you understand where these patterns come from and how to shift them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that feels heavy, anger that shows up too fast, or relationship challenges that keep repeating — we’ll work together to untangle the deeper story and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and feeling. This isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been shut down for too long.
