Many of the couples I work with feel stuck—arguing more, growing apart, or struggling to communicate in a way that feels connecting. I also support adults facing anxiety, self-doubt, and big life transitions, and teens who need a space to be heard, supported, and understood. If you're looking for real support from someone who’s down-to-earth, thoughtful, and easy to talk to—you’re in the right place.

The clients I work with include individuals, couples, and families dealing with a variety of issues such as gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, grief, life transition, and relationship issues. I work with a variety of ages including kiddos as young as 10.
Many of my clients learned to be independent, responsible, and hardworking at young ages, traits that have helped them be successful at school and work, but have made it difficult to ask for help, set boundaries, rest, and lean into joy. Along with anxiety, clients frequently struggle with guilt, low self-esteem, a need to be perfect, and often have insecure attachment styles in relationships. I also provide family therapy, friendship therapy, and psychological evals for immigration cases.
Do you long for deeper connection, more clarity and peace. Or have you felt the tension of struggle in satisfaction of your relationships (friendships, romantic relationships or family of origin), or your relationship with your body, food or exercise? I want to help you thrive in your relationships, body and life.
Are you someone who feels everything deeply and struggles to navigate your emotions? Do you have a hard time trusting yourself or feeling at home in your body? I help highly sensitive teens and young adults get comfortable in their feelings, build self-acceptance, and regulate their emotions.

We determine our self-worth by comparing our lives and judging ourselves against unattainable or unrealistic standards (hello, Instagram). I'm here to say, "I get it" and to provide breathing room when you don't feel like you’re good enough, or when you have hit your capacity. I work with individuals who want to feel better about their bodies and their relationship with food, people navigating a little thing called motherhood, those those hoping to get the most out of relationships.

My LGBTQIA2S+ clients are acutely in tune with authenticity. At times, this quality can cause life to feel heavy and overwhelming. The worry, stress or fear can cause folx to feel stuck.

This approach allows me to work with people from various different backgrounds and experiences.
