Introduction

Stuck in survival mode? Crashing out? Riding the hot mess express? Maybe this is your first time sharing the deep, raw truth of your story… or maybe you’re tired of saying it over and over and feeling like other people don’t really “get” it. You don't have to pretend everything's okay or fit into a mold; I'm here for the real you. We can build your own personal path to healing. I help people do this by exploring thoughts, gaining insight, and developing tools to thrive. Whether you’re a teen or adult struggling with identity, big life changes, addiction, eating disorders, or body image, I'm here to embrace the messiness and find clarity through it all. My approach is direct, down-to-earth, and empowering. In therapy with me, we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll find the way forward, together. On the other side of fear, self-doubt, and judgment await self-love, authenticity, and liberation.
