About
Are you being hard on yourself again and holding yourself to standards that feel impossible to meet or maintain? It's time to calm the anxiety and perfectionism that are exhausting you and start leading with compassion. I have five years of experience working with adults struggling to manage anxiety, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship issues, and women’s health issues. Therapy with me is all about connection and creating a space where you feel seen. I will hold space for you to explore and dig deep through meaningful conversation all while laughing and learning together. Our work together will be based on a trusting relationship built over time as well as humor, self-reflection, and collaboration. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, ERP, and mindfulness. If you have no idea what these mean, that's okay! I teach concepts and skills in digestible and relatable ways that apply to your life and experiences.
