Do you struggle to speak up for yourself?

Is your inner critic always telling you all the ways you aren’t enough?

Do you wish you had the ability to set a goal and go after it, even if others don’t understand?

You’re in the right place.

I help people of all ages—from preteens to adults—learn how to access their inner strength to be brave, bold, and confident as they pursue the lives they want.

Using a variety of modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and internal family systems, I’ll help you unlock the resilient, capable person inside of you.

Therapy is hard, brave, and life-changing work, so you can count on me to balance empathy with accountability, and bring insight, humor, and honesty to each of our sessions.

Whether you’re struggling with relationships, anxiety, or the after-effects of past trauma, you can trust me to provide the right tools and skills to help you.

You’ll leave our time together feeling heard, valued, and empowered.
