Clinician
Do you feel exhausted from overthinking every interaction, trying to be perfect, or constantly putting everyone else’s needs first? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or that persistent feeling that you’re just different from everyone else? Whether you’re a teen navigating these challenges for the first time or an adult who’s been carrying this weight for years, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping teens and adults who are tired of feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you’re dealing with social anxiety, depression from years of people-pleasing, or the overwhelming need to analyze every conversation afterward, I create a judgment-free space where your struggles finally make sense.
We’ll work at your pace without rushing or pressure. I won’t make you dig into your childhood for months or use techniques that feel disconnected from your real life. Instead, we focus on practical strategies that actually work for how your mind processes the world. Together, we’ll break the cycles keeping you stuck. You’ll learn to quiet that overthinking, manage overwhelm without losing yourself, and develop confidence in your authentic voice. We’ll work on setting boundaries without guilt, transforming your inner critic into a supportive ally, and improving communication skills in all your relationships. I’ll help you find strategies that work specifically for you – because it’s not one-size-fits-all. My clients describe me as real and straightforward – someone who doesn’t sugarcoat things but makes them feel genuinely safe.
I understand what it’s like to feel different because I’ve lived it too. As a neurodivergent-affirming therapist and LGBTQIA+ ally, I embrace diverse ways of thinking and celebrate what makes you uniquely you. This is your journey, and we’ll work toward your personal goals in therapy. You’ve already taken the brave step of looking for help – I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you discover you’re stronger and more capable than you think.
