About Me

I can help you get unstuck, take risks, and own your past instead of letting it own you.

Chronic anxiety and traumatic stress have a way of having a firm hold on us. Our brains latch onto the pain of the past and convince us that our main task is to “stay safe” and “never let it happen again.” While safety is an important human need, too much of it can leave us feeling lonely and sad. You may have noticed that over time, in your efforts to protect yourself, your life has gotten smaller. You may feel regretful that you never went to that party, that concert, or that job interview. At some point, all of the things you missed out on add up, and you wonder how you got here.

It isn’t too late to learn how to face your fears.

I know how painful it can be to feel stuck in the past and terrified about the future; you feel frozen, paralyzed, and disconnected from the life you want. You struggle to be present because your mind is constantly predicting the worst. The good news is: you CAN get better! With firm, consistent support couched in a warm, validating relationship, you can learn how to change the way your brain responds to stress. 

Feel accepted and connected while being pushed to try new things.

 I believe in therapy, you deserve to have both, a place to feel validated and heard, AND, a place to learn skills to solve your problems. If you are struggling with an anxiety disorder, OCD, PTSD, or a personality disorder, I will help you navigate recovery in a way that balances acceptance and change. Even if it feels hopeless today, it is not too late to implement change tomorrow – one small step at a time.
