Introduction

You’re driven but feeling trapped in a cycle of overthinking, stress, and self-doubt. Despite your successes, anxiety and burnout leave you feeling disconnected and exhausted. Perfectionism and pressure to meet high expectations make you feel like you’re constantly falling short. Cynical about therapy but yearning for real change, you want to break free from endless mental battles and find clarity, peace, and purpose. If this resonates, I'm here to help you reclaim your life & thrive. My Background and Approach I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate their unique paths to wellness using evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These modalities foster openness, flexibility, and a deep connection to your values, guiding you toward what truly matters in your life. Having faced my own struggles with anxiety and trauma, I bring lived experience to our work together, fueling my commitment to help you find clarity, resilience, and fulfillment. My goal is to empower you on your journey toward sustainable growth and transformation, allowing you to live a life that feels connected and engaged. Whether you're grappling with past trauma, distorted body image and disordered eating, navigating difficult emotions, or feeling stuck under the weight of expectations, I’m here to support you in overcoming what holds you back and embracing a more fulfilling life. My Personal Beliefs and Interests My approach is centered on providing a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their inner world. It's important to me that you feel comfortable being your fullest, most authentic self, and to that end I strive to be my most authentic self with you. I'm not a cookie-cutter therapist - I'll be free with my emotions, I'll probably swear. But I promise I won't try to hide my human-ness from you, and I want you to feel safe being your fullest self. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a collaborative partnership built on the inherent dignity and worth of the person sitting across from me. I am committed to creating an inclusive and non-judgmental space for all my clients. My aim is to guide you towards greater self-understanding, resilience, and overall well-being.​ If you want to learn more about how I can assist you on your journey to mental wellness, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to working with you. Anxiety: If you’re overwhelmed by constant overthinking and stress, it can feel impossible to find peace. The endless mental noise, indecision, and pressure to meet expectations lead to burnout and exhaustion. You might even question if therapy can help when nothing else seems to work. I specialize in helping people with anxiety shift how they relate to their thoughts—without judgment or control. Together, we’ll focus on breaking the cycle of stress and overthinking, helping you regain clarity and calm, so you can move forward with confidence. Body Image and Disordered Eating: Struggling with body image and disordered eating is exhausting, especially when it feels disconnected from your external success. The cycle of shame, fear, and anxiety can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself. I specialize in addressing the underlying emotional pain that drives these struggles, helping you move past avoidance and negative self-evaluation. Together, we’ll work to build a compassionate relationship with your body and yourself, fostering real self-acceptance and freedom from rigid control. Trauma: Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in survival mode, disconnected, and haunted by past experiences. Whether through flashbacks, anxiety, or avoidance, trauma can feel like it’s controlling your life. I specialize in helping people process the emotional impact of trauma, untangling the fear and shame that keeps you trapped. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, we’ll work together to heal the emotional wounds and rebuild a sense of safety, helping you reclaim your life and move forward with resilience. Bipolar Disorder: Living with bipolar disorder can feel like being trapped in a constant cycle of extreme highs and lows. The unpredictability can leave you questioning your stability and control. Whether it’s racing thoughts during mania or deep depression, the emotional swings can be overwhelming. I specialize in helping individuals manage these mood shifts by identifying patterns and developing strategies for stability. Together, we’ll focus on regaining balance and control, so you can live more freely without being consumed by the highs and lows.
