About My Clients

I specialize in supporting high-achieving professionals and creatives navigating burnout, anxiety, and major life transitions. My ideal clients often feel "fine" on the surface but are overwhelmed, struggling with perfectionism, or navigating complex relationship dynamics. I help them move from burnout to balance, using direct, trauma-informed, and action-oriented therapy to regain purpose and joy. If you're ready for honest, practical support, I'd love to help you build a resilient life.

My Background and Approach

With a background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have spent years specializing in the treatment of bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. My experience is rooted in helping individuals navigate the complexities of high-pressure environments, whether they are high-achieving professionals or creatives facing burnout. The Benefit to You: My approach isn't just about talk; it’s about transformation. I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help you move from simply "reacting" to life’s stressors to intentionally "responding" to them. By providing you with tangible tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, I help you build a foundation of stability. This means you won't just feel heard in our sessions—you’ll walk away with a practical roadmap to reduce symptoms, improve your daily functioning, and regain a sense of purpose and joy in your personal and professional life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that therapy is most effective when it honors the whole person, including the social and cultural contexts we live in. My practice is rooted in social justice, inclusivity, and advocacy. I am a firm supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and am dedicated to providing an LGBTQ+ affirming space. These aren't just external causes; they are the values that drive my empathy and curiosity in every session. The Benefit to You: In our work together, you don’t have to "censor" the political or social realities of your life. Whether we are discussing the weight of systemic barriers or the importance of community identity, I offer a space where your heritage and convictions are celebrated, not ignored. By integrating these values, I help you move toward a version of mental health that is both personally authentic and socially conscious. I am here to empower you to live fully and fearlessly in a complex world.
