About

Clarity. Precision. Compassion.

I love working with passionate, creative, and sensitive professionals, as well as young adults navigating intense emotions and sensory overload. These unique individuals often feel overwhelmed and are looking for ways to live more manageable and meaningful lives. They seek to better understand and regulate their emotions, boost self-respect, set healthy boundaries, improve relationships, find balance, and feel a sense of purpose. They want genuine self-care and aspire to build a life that reflects their true strengths and dreams. I bring warmth and authenticity to my practice, combining evidence-based therapies with a personal touch. Certified in CBT and trained in DBT and ACT, I weave in mindfulness, self-compassion, and exposure techniques, along with insights from Zen Buddhism and Positive Psychology. This blend helps me tailor our work to your unique journey, fostering growth in a caring environment. Our world can be so overwhelming, and it's natural to struggle with finding our way. Whether you have a diagnosis, a specific concern, or just feel out of balance, we'll work together to discover strategies that fit you best. Let's create meaningful changes that help you move forward with confidence and clarity. I'm here to support you on your journey to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Reach out, and let's begin this journey together.
