About

You’re overwhelmed, burned out, and stuck in the same patterns — in your relationships, your emotions, or the way you talk to yourself. Maybe you’re in your early 20s, trying to build confidence, figure out who you are, or unlearn the roles you’ve always played. You’re self-aware but exhausted. You want things to feel different, even if you don’t know what that looks like yet. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt — and help you move forward with more clarity, honesty, and self-trust. I work with teens and twenty-somethings navigating anxiety, low self-worth, perfectionism, identity, and relationship dynamics. My approach is warm, direct, playful, and collaborative — rooted in relational, psychodynamic, CBT, and somatic frameworks that help you actually understand yourself (and shift what’s not working).
