I specialize in working with adolescents (14+) and adults whose anxiety interferes with their ability to find peace, function day to day, and feel connected in their lives. My work focuses on helping clients develop tools to manage stress, increase insight into unhelpful patterns, and build the internal resources needed to live differently—with greater clarity, resilience, and access to joy. I support clients navigating challenges related to anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, depression, academic or professional pressure, and trauma. My approach blends psychodynamic understanding with trauma-informed, client-centered care, grounded in a strong commitment to social justice. I work collaboratively with each individual to explore both the struggles and the strengths that shape their experience. In therapy, I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and heard. I aim to build a trusting relationship that allows space for vulnerability, reflection, and even moments of humor. Whether you’re overwhelmed by expectations or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I’ll help you move toward change with curiosity and compassion.
