Are you struggling with feeling “not good enough”? Wondering who you really are beneath the pain and past experiences that have shaped you? Maybe you feel stuck, unsure where to begin, or who you could become beyond the trauma and hardships you’ve faced. Asking these questions — and confronting these memories — can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to do it alone. Healing is possible, and the first step is simply starting.
I believe the only way out is through. I’ve walked this path myself and have had the privilege of helping many others navigate their own journeys of healing and self-discovery. Our thoughts create our reality — and with the right support, tools, and guidance, you can shift your mindset and create the life you truly desire.
I blend both traditional therapeutic approaches (CBT, TF-CBT, Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy) and holistic healing practices (Reiki, astrology, breathwork, meditation, somatic bodywork) to meet you exactly where you are.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Certified Life Coach, and Certified Reiki Practitioner, I specialize in helping people heal deeply, reconnect with themselves, and rediscover who they are beyond their past.
Let’s take the first step together.

Living with Anxiety, Depression, Panic or OCD can feel overwhelming. It can make tasks at work feel like it’s all too much to handle. In our personal lives, it can make us feel disconnected from the people we love as well as the activities we used to derive happiness from. Even though we develop ways to cope and talking with friends and family can help, these feelings never really fully go away. Thankfully, a structured approach to therapy can help. It is possible to feel comfortable or even excited to interact with people, enjoy your work each day and find meaning!
