About My Clients

You’re busy, anxious, and stuck in overthinking—exhausted but can’t slow down. If you’re dealing with stress, poor sleep, shallow breathing, migraines, or gut issues, your nervous system may be in overdrive. I help high-functioning adults Regulate & Rise through anxiety therapy, nervous system regulation, nutrition for mental health, and personalized self-care routines that fit real life—so you can finally feel calm, clear, and in control.

My Background and Approach

From a young age, I was drawn to people’s resilience. In 6th grade, my mom would take me to volunteer in soup kitchens and senior homes — and even then, I was in awe of the strength people carried, even in the toughest moments. That experience planted a seed: I knew I wanted to spend my life helping others feel seen, supported, & empowered to rise. I’ve been a licensed therapist since 2014, & over the years I’ve had the privilege of working in many different spaces — from group homes to outpatient clinics, from dual diagnosis centers to in-home family support, & now in my own private practice via telehealth. I bring all of that real-world experience into the room when I meet with clients — because life is messy, and therapy should meet you where you are. I’m also Certified in Nutrition for Mental Health & deeply passionate about helping people discover how food, sleep, & daily rhythms affect their mood, energy, & emotional regulation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone deserves a helping hand and a listening ear. I believe healing is possible—and that we’re all capable of doing hard things and easy things. I’ve done (and continue to do) the self-work, and I know that life’s ups and downs don’t define us—it’s how we move through them that builds strength. I bring compassion, curiosity, and realness into every session. Growth is always possible. I’m honored to walk beside you on your journey.
