me: In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, and through an attachment-oriented lens, I am focused on harnessing the powerful dynamic of the therapeutic relationship, in order to help individuals locate within themselves a sense of meaning and purpose in the here and now. I am focused on developing each client’s ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, in order to reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm. you: While I work with individual adults of all ages, most of my clients tend to be 25-45, and coming to therapy to work through a variety of human challenges and stressors often associated with complications that occur in the life-stage transitions from adolescence to early adulthood and early adulthood into middle age. For many of us, these life-stage transitions are often extended and/or delayed, leading to feelings of pscyho-emotional paralysis and “stuckness” in repeated patterns of behavior. My practice is also further specialized in working with performing artists and other creative/artistic professionals. The intersectionality of psycho-emotional health and creative identity/artistic process is an area of experience and particular interest to me. Having trained and worked professionally as an actor, prior to earning a master’s degree in clinical social work, I am deeply focused on using the shared language of artistic development to help other artists utilize the many tools and skills they’ve already developed for self-reflection and craft honing as artists, in order to help them create growth, change, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. Although many of my clients meet diagnostic criteria for depression, trauma, and anxiety, I aim to see people beyond the diagnosis and view them as the whole human beings they are. us: Together, we will have a meaningful relationship intended to support and foster your personal growth, resilience, healing, and ability to create internal validity, as well as meaning and purpose in the moment. Our relationship exists within the context and framework of weekly, or bi-weekly, 45-minute conversations, focused on examining all aspects of how your pscyho-emotional health and wellbeing correspond to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. No human is broken. We are all operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting; sometimes for the better, and other times to our own detriment. We are all the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences. Therefore, we will work jointly to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns, in order to learn to move forward, create change, and become the future self that is still yet unrealized.

Change is hard, and getting to know yourself is a process! Some of my clients are neurodivergent, and want support in adjusting to new surroundings and building new skills. I also work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and with other mental health concerns. My background is in somatic, movement-based counseling. In sessions, we might spend time learning more about what your body is telling you, and working with it to find balance and relief. Sessions can also look like talking about life, using expressive art to explore your emotions, or practicing mindfulness skills.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or disconnected? Are you trying to move forward in your life or your relationships and just can't seem to get where you want to be? Are you looking for someone to listen and hold space for your experiences, a gentle guide on your journey through lasting and sustained healing? I believe in a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. I empower clients to understand what is going on in their minds and bodies, incorporating elements of mindfulness, parts work, and experiential therapy to explore, move, and make tangible the confusing emotional experiences that can leave us feeling scattered or disconnected. You absolutely have the power and the strength to make the changes you want to see for yourself in life. Let's get there together!

My ideal female clients are independent, driven, and highly capable individuals, who feel disconnected from their true selves. They are successful in their careers and relationships, but feel something is missing. They often experience dissatisfaction, burnout, or unfulfilled potential because they are stuck in patterns that don’t align with their true desires or values. These women may feel like they are wearing a mask—pretending to be someone they’re not in different situations, whether it’s at work or in their personal lives. They’re often navigating relationship challenges, struggling with unhealthy dynamics, or feeling unfulfilled in their careers. They seek clarity, support, and guidance to uncover who they truly are, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build deeper, more meaningful relationships. Their primary goal is to break free from the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, develop a sense of fulfillment, and experience genuine connection both with themselves and others. They want to stop hiding behind a facade and start living life on their own terms—feeling empowered, authentic, and aligned with their values. Ultimately, these women want to create a life that feels true to them—a life that is full of joy, confidence, and deeper connection with others. Through therapy, they want to explore their true desires, heal from past patterns, and step into a life that’s fully aligned with who they are.

As a somatic therapist, I help teens and adults connect to themselves through body-centered techniques that bring awareness of inner sensations and release pent-up trauma, stress, and emotions. My work centers on some of life's most profound challenges: identity, grief, life transitions, crisis, and trauma. I believe that one of the greatest threats to humanity is disconnection – from our bodies, our intuition, one another, and the world around us – and the body is where true healing beings. That’s why my work is rooted in guiding others through the process of reconnection, supporting the holistic well-being of the mind, body and spirit. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or searching for greater clarity and resilience, I'm here to guide you. In our work together, you can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you are met exactly as you are. I draw on somatic and contemplative therapy techniques to help you move beyond intellectualizing your emotions and into a more embodied, authentic experience of them. My approach is patient-centered, meaning I tailor every aspect of our work to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I bring genuine warmth and honesty to each session, grounded in a deep belief in self-compassion. It is truly a privilege to witness patients step into their potential, and I look forward to supporting you on that journey. My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Following a Bipolar I diagnosis, I navigated my own journey through crisis and, in doing so, discovered firsthand how transformative somatic therapy can be. That experience didn't just shape my healing; it shaped my calling. Having walked through darkness and found my way toward the light through therapy, I understand on a deeply personal level what it means to feel lost and what it takes to begin feeling whole again. That understanding is at the heart of everything I do. It drives my commitment to offering you care that is not only clinically informed, but also genuinely compassionate and free of judgment. Outside of the therapy room, I find joy and restoration in many of the same practices I bring to my work. I love dancing, painting, and yoga, as well as more active pursuits like skiing, hiking, swimming, and exercise. Cooking and spending time in nature also keep me grounded and inspired. These passions fuel my belief in the healing power of movement, creativity, and connection.

Finding clarity, confidence, and direction is possible, and you don't have to figure it out alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help adults and older teens navigate anxiety, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, caught in cycles of overthinking, or unsure of your next steps, this is a space where you can feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood while seeking greater clarity, confidence, and direction. My commitment is to be a steady partner in your care, helping you build insight and move toward a values-driven life that feels more aligned and manageable. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and collaborative by design. Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, we work together to build practical strategies while developing a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself. Sessions are nonjudgmental and shaped around your unique needs, experiences, and goals, in a supportive and flexible environment. Whether the focus is on strengthening emotional awareness, developing coping skills, or moving through a difficult season of life, the direction of our work is always guided by what matters most to you. The goal is to support you in ways that feel meaningful and genuine, even when difficult thoughts and emotions arise. My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in personal experience. At a younger age, navigating anxiety led me to therapy, where I discovered how powerful it can be to feel truly understood while also gaining tools that make a real difference. That experience shaped everything about how I provide care that is both compassionate and actionable. This foundation also drives my commitment to bringing a real, relatable presence to every session while helping patients build skills that lead to meaningful, lasting change. Outside of the therapy room, creativity and movement keep me grounded. Reading, drawing, and working on creative projects are some of my favorite ways to recharge. Movies, time spent with dogs, and quiet walks also bring me a lot of joy.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping adults navigate the challenges that contribute to anxiety, depression, attention and concentration difficulties, codependency, grief, trauma, generational trauma, and PTSD. Compassion, rapport, and curiosity are at the heart of how I work with each person. Every session is designed to be a place of safety where you can explore your emotions honestly and begin creating the kind of meaningful change that lasts. Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences or managing the demands of everyday life, I'm here to help you find your way through it. Our work together takes place in a compassionate, supportive therapeutic environment where you are seen, heard, and respected. Drawing on person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches, we'll explore the impact of past experiences and build the healthy coping skills and resilience you need to thrive. Self-compassion, mindfulness, and breathwork are integral to my practice, because how you relate to yourself matters just as much as the strategies we develop together. The goal is always the same: to help you become the best version of yourself while navigating whatever life brings your way. My path to becoming a therapist began in social work, serving underserved individuals and communities. That experience revealed just how urgent the need for accessible, quality mental health care for all individuals truly is. Witnessing the power of genuine connection and the difference it makes in people's lives deepened my commitment to providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions that not only manage symptoms but also overcome challenges faced. Today, I bring that same compassion and empathy to every session, while also gently challenging you to explore your internal dialogue, your values, and your most authentic self. Family, friends, and time spent outdoors are central to my sense of well-being, as I believe that joy and play are essential. I also love learning new things, and lately that's meant exploring the world of arts and crafts.

Life has a way of piling up. When it does, the weight of anxiety, stress, or an unexpected change can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. As a mental health therapist specializing in anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation, I work with young adults and adults who are ready to make sense of what they're carrying and find their way back to a life that feels meaningful. Whatever brought you here, whether it's daily anxiety, a relationship that's wearing on you, or a constant sense of being off-balance, you deserve a space where you can finally slow down, sort through it, and build real inner strength. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels completely right for you, leaving room for clarity, self-discovery, and growth. It would be a true privilege to walk alongside you on that path. My approach is driven by a genuine belief that every person is capable of meaningful, lasting change, and that the right space makes all the difference. Creating an environment where you feel truly heard, understood, and free to be honest is something I care deeply about, and it shapes everything about how sessions are structured. You can expect warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment in our time together, in a warm and validating environment entirely centered on you. Every session is tailored to your unique story, your needs, and your goals. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you build practical coping strategies and develop emotional flexibility — tools that don't just work in session, but travel with you into everyday life. My path to becoming a therapist grew from a deep curiosity about human behavior and how mental health shapes the texture of daily life. Before this work, I spent years as a university professor, and my own migration journey gave me a firsthand understanding of what it really takes to adapt, rebuild, and grow through difficult transitions. These experiences inform how I show up in the room with you. They taught me how to offer a grounded, trustworthy, and steady presence that allows you the space to look inward and rediscover your own strengths. When I'm not working, I'm usually somewhere outdoors: hiking with my dog, riding my bike, or lacing up my roller skates with friends. Crafting rounds out the mix, and whatever the project, there's always something new in progress.
