I love working with people carrying more than they let on — students and young adults, athletes and high performers, anyone in a heavier season of life. Many look put-together but privately feel anxious, stuck, or wrestling with identity and direction. I'm warm but direct: I'll help you build on what's working and name patterns honestly, even when it's uncomfortable, because real change needs it. I take an integrative approach, so we may also look at sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle alongside the emotional work, with crisis and trauma training when needed, and I stay connected with any other providers involved in your care.

I specialize in complex trauma, meaning-centered and existential therapy, and spirituality-integrated care, with strong assessment, diagnostic, and crisis intervention skills. I help driven people manage anxiety and perfectionism, perform at their best, and build integrated care for mind, body, and spirit — including sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle.

If you are exhausted from holding it all together, or unsure who you are beneath the pressure to perform, you do not have to carry it alone. You have more strength and clarity in you than you realize, and reaching out is often the first step toward reclaiming it. I would be honored to walk alongside you.
