About

Life can be beautiful — and it can also be really hard. Many of us feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. My goal as a therapist is to help you find more meaning, calm, and confidence in your life. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening inside you and build tools to navigate challenges with greater ease and self-compassion. I work primarily with young adults, college students, and people in their 20s, 30s, and beyond who are managing transitions, stress, or anxiety. Many of my clients want to strengthen self-esteem, improve relationships, or heal from painful experiences that still affect them. Years ago teaching women's self-defense, I discovered an important foundation of healing: assertiveness and boundaries. Key to many issues is awareness of our boundaries, the skills to set limits, and the development of assertiveness. When we honor our integrity and self respect we create internal courage. Connections become easier and more healthy.
