Clinical bio

Sometimes our emotions overwhelm us. We get stuck to certain thoughts and doubts, overwhelmed by strong feelings, and it feels like there is nothing we can do to break that cycle. We feel trapped by our own mind, unable to move forward as we carry our fears about the future or the burdens of the past. Sometimes it can feel like we’re going through all of this alone, but we don’t have to. I help my clients understand their patterns, calm their nervous system, and build tools for self-care that actually match their energy and capacity. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, challenges related to chronic illness, looping thoughts, and emotional overload. Many of my clients are high‑functioning but exhausted, motivated but stuck, thoughtful but overwhelmed by their own mind. I incorporate strategies from ACT, CBT, and mindfulness to help you quiet your overwhelming thoughts and feel more capable of handling whatever life may throw your way. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in practical strategies that help you feel more regulated and steady day‑to‑day. Your experiences have shaped who you are, and we will work together to process them and create a new path forward. As an LGBTQIA+‑affirming and COVID‑conscious therapist, I offer a space where your boundaries, needs, and lived experiences are respected. You don’t have to push through alone. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and build strategies that support your wellbeing.
