About
As one who experienced difficulty with managing my mental health, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by life circumstances and how learning new skills can empower us.
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help high performers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance.
We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness and somatic movement to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help.
Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.Let's work together!

Addiction may look like abusing a different substance—prescription drugs, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, food, and more. Addiction may look like an obsessive activity—having sex, shopping, playing video games, gambling, using pornography, and more. These substances and activities are what most people associate with addiction, but they are only part of the story—the outward form. Regardless of what shape the addiction takes, what is happening within a person is the same: their brains are knocked off balance. Addiction is a terrible disease. More and more, people are reaching out for the help they need, and they are fighting back.
