Feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or tired of being "the strong one"? I help high-functioning adults and couples struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are used to holding everything together for others while feeling emotionally exhausted or disconnected inside. If you have been holding everything together for everyone else, it can start to feel like you've lost yourself in the process. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist with experience in both crisis and private practice settings, which allows me to stay grounded and effective even when things feel overwhelming. My work focuses on helping you move out of survival mode and into a more balanced, intentional, and connected way of living.

I help marginalized individuals break free from the effects of childhood trauma and chronic anxiety. If you’ve tried talk therapy and still feel stuck, you’re not alone. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, unresolved trauma, and relationship challenges that continue to show up in their daily lives. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients reprocess how their brain responds to past negative experiences, so they can experience real, lasting relief without having to relive every detail. With a background in education and experience working with mothers and Veterans, I understand the unique stressors that come with caregiving, service, and high-responsibility roles. You don’t have to keep managing this on your own. Healing is possible—and you are worthy of it!

Starting therapy can take courage, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood, judged, or unsupported in the past. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — a place that feels safe, affirming, and genuinely supportive. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ folks, women, and anyone navigating the impacts of trauma, identity-based stress, or systems that haven’t always made space for them. In our work together, we’ll move at your pace and focus on what matters most to you. Therapy with me is collaborative — you’re the expert on your life, and I’m here to support you with tools, perspective, and care as you make sense of your experiences and move toward the life you want. Some of the approaches I draw from include EMDR for trauma processing, DBT for building coping and emotional regulation skills, and The Daring Way™ work around vulnerability, courage, and living in alignment with your values. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. That’s okay — we’ll figure it out together. Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and build the skills you need to move forward. If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to connect. Whoever you are, you are welcome here.

I work with individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life who are experiencing emotional challenges, life transitions, or periods of stress and adjustment. Clients may be navigating anxiety, depression, self-identity concerns, relationship changes, career shifts, chronic or medical conditions, or other life stressors that impact emotional well-being. With experience across medical and mental health settings, including work with military-affiliated individuals and those managing chronic illness, I am well suited to support clients seeking a safe, supportive, and collaborative space. I value meeting clients where they are and working together to build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful growth at a pace that feels right for them.
