Therapy, Coaching
& Self-Paced Learning
We offer one-on-one counseling and coaching designed to meet you where you are. Sessions are tailored to your needs—whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, or personal growth.
In addition to private sessions, we also offer self-paced online courses to help you build confidence and navigate key life transitions at your own pace. These resources provide expert guidance on topics like stress management, relationships, career development, and personal growth.

In therapy, it’s all about you. Your space. Your time. Your growth.
I believe therapy should be more than just a venting session—it should challenge and empower you. Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I customize every session to fit your unique needs. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative, giving you the tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Therapy can be a space to breathe, reset, and find clarity.
I help individuals in their 20s and 30s navigate anxiety, trauma, self-worth, and relationship struggles. In our work together, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are—no pressure to have it all figured out. We’ll explore patterns, get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck, and build tools to help you move forward.
