Not accepting new clients. I’m happy you’re here! I help adults and teens challenged with a broad range of issues and work very well with those struggling with anxiety. If your anxiety crushes you with unwanted worries, is made worse by current/past unhealthy family, romantic, or social relationships, or as you strive to navigate your complex relationship with perfectionism or people-pleasing, we will be a great fit. Our work together will include building practical skills so you leave each session feeling empowered and more in control, as well as a structured framework to help you make improvements every step of the way.
My practice is centered on creating a comfortable atmosphere and an individualized experience–because there’s only one you! Each session is tailored to you and your specific needs, incorporating brain-based strategies throughout to increase our impact and help you find relief–working with the brain, not against it.
It’s not easy to ask for help! I help you feel safe and comfortable with my warm, supportive, collaborative and (very) humorous approach. We'll partner together to pursue the growth you deserve by addressing challenges and increasing resilience. If you want more calm and control in your life, email to schedule a consultation call to see if we're a good fit!

While I work with clients who are struggling with a broad range of challenges, I am really drawn to anxiety. Whether you're a busy parent who's burned out, misunderstood and unappreciated, a student crippled by anxiety and finding it hard to get things done, you feel anxious about an upcoming change or get pulled into unwanted and unhelpful worries that are hard to shake, I can help!

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is my bread and butter and I use it often to help my clients find relief and feel more in control. CBT provides many practical skills to help you bust your way through your challenges and meshes really well with the neuroscience-based tools and perspectives that I also incorporate into treatment. I value using evidence-based treatments that are backed by research.
