About

It can be exhausting feeling the urge to fix everything and everyone, the pressure to perform and excel, & always keep it together. Within the therapeutic space with myself, you don't have to keep that mask on and the facade going. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I aim to be "down-to-Earth" and encourage you to show up as your true self - authentic, messy, & perfectly imperfect. I believe in utilizing a collaborative, client-centered approach where we can explore how to navigate distressing situations, challenge anxiety-inducing thoughts, embrace your own resiliency, & learn to stay grounded amongst the chaos of daily life. I specialize in working with young adults (18-30) who may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and college-related stressors. I utilize a holistic approach to meet your individual needs while deriving from therapeutic modalities such as Psychodynamic Therapy, ACT, IFS, CBT, & Mindfulness, while using an attachment based lens.
