Getting to know yourself—who you truly are—can be one of the most challenging yet empowering experiences in life, especially if you're someone who’s been told you think too much, feel too much, or just are too much in general. If that sounds like you, then we should definitely talk. Clients often come to me because they’ve been misunderstood or boxed in elsewhere. Many of them are figuring out how to live outside the lines: queer folks, neurodivergent folks, people in non-traditional relationshi...

Well-being looks different for every person, so my approach to working with clients is focused on identifying what living a full and meaningful life might uniquely look like for you and partnering with you to get there together. This means embracing unique and personalized approaches to self-care and coping with life’s stressors, rather than listening to what media, culture, or other people with authority might tell us this should look like. As a therapist, I believe in taking a client-center...

I work with children, teens, and adults across the lifespan to build self-esteem and confidence, so that you can feel happier and less stressed. As a former student, we might struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, worry, family issues, or an inner critic that can make the school year feel impossible. We can work together to reduce the "what ifs" and self-critical thoughts that can come with anxiety, panic, and depression. Everyone is unique, which is why I use a variety of skills and ...
