I specialize in helping adults with emotion dysregulation, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I understand how overwhelming emotions can be and will help you navigate them with empathy, compassion, and practical support. I use psychodynamic, DBT, and trauma-informed therapies. This means we may work on processing relational experiences, building mindful awareness of your emotions and thoughts, and developing new tools to manage your distress. I am also passionate about helping BIPOC and neurodiverse folks (e.g., autistic, ADHD, AuDHD) navigate identity-related challenges.

I know that starting therapy can be scary, especially if you’ve had bad experiences. We will work together at your pace to achieve your goals, whether it’s working through past trauma or developing practical strategies for meaningful change. If these words resonate, please reach out for a free consultation. Let’s see what we can do to build your best life.
