About My Clients

Whether it’s your partner, single status, family, friends, or co-workers, your relationships take up lots of mental space and cause anxiety. You’re comparing and worrying what other people think and feel, trying to keep them happy, or playing defense. If you're dating, you are totally exhausted by it and confused about how hard it's been to meet someone. You just want to feel grounded, accepted, and comfortable in your own skin.

My Background and Approach

I believe you get to live your life in close connection with others, while confidently pursuing your own goals and dreams. I focus on issues with self-esteem, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and communication, dating, perfectionism, break-ups, and stress. Common goals are reducing anxiety, finding a suitable partner, building connection, stronger communication, healthy boundaries, finding purpose/career, managing life transitions, and increasing coping skills and confidence. I believe authenticity builds trust, so I am not a blank slate therapist! In session, I teach you how to manage anxiety, know yourself so you can be authentic, communicate skillfully, and determine aligned boundaries and actions for yourself. We'll practice before you try new tools on your own, celebrate your successes, and process the hard parts together after. Ready to feel more excited, hopeful, and happy? I’d love to hear from you and help you get there.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
