SPECIALTIES
I approach all of my work through a multicultural, trauma-informed lens. This means I work to understand and address the unique experiences, cultural backgrounds, and identities of my clients. It involves acknowledging how cultural factors—race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, and socioeconomic status—can impact a client's mental health and their relationship with mental healthcare overall.
I prioritize ongoing education in cultural competency and LGBTQ+ affirming care. As an ally, I’m committed to creating spaces where all identities are safe, seen, respected, and celebrated.
This is not a comprehensive list of everything I treat—think of it more as a list of my clinical strengths and areas of interest.
ADHD
Now this is my real forte. Most mental health professionals deeply misunderstand and mistreat ADHD. I dedicated the last 5 years to becoming an exception to that sad truth. ADHD is so much more than a school-based problem, and the later you are diagnosed, the more fires there are to put out. I can help you extinguish those fires and reduce your shame about their inevitable burning. Whatever your goals are—stop people pleasing, regulate your emotions more effectively, decrease shame, improve your relationships, optimize productivity, enhance focus, sleep, and nutrition, or reduce or eliminate addictive behaviors—I'm your girl.
WOMEN'S HEALTH
I know all too well how often women's mental and physical health gets overlooked, dismissed, or misdiagnosed. I recognize the complexity of your experiences, whether you're navigating chronic pain, chronic illness, body image challenges, low self-esteem, disordered eating, hormonal shifts, lack of identity, codependency, motherhood (or the ache of wanting it), or simply the exhaustion of trying to hold it all together. My approach honors the mind-body connection and systemic pressures women face, while centering your intuitive wisdom. I hope to help you shed what no longer fits and grow into the truest version of yourself with bravery and intention.
SUBSTANCE USE & ADDICTION
Substance use is an attempt to meet a need, not a reflection of character. I approach substance use and addiction treatment with curiosity and a trauma-informed lens, recognizing that recovery is unique to each individual and shame only reinforces the cycle of addiction. I honor my client's autonomy and readiness for change, focusing on harm reduction, nervous system regulation, and sustainable recovery. Rather than pathologizing, I help my clients explore what their addiction has been trying to protect or provide while building new ways of coping rooted in community, connection, safety, and self-trust. Maybe you're curious about changing your relationship with substance use without pressure or judgment, but don't know where to start. I can help.
COLLEGE STUDENTS
College can be an exciting time, but also an incredibly overwhelming one. Between academic pressure, identity exploration, relationships, and figuring out what comes next, it's easy to feel lost or anxious. It's also one of the most common age ranges for mental health challenges to emerge due to a variety of biological and environmental factors. I work with college students to help make sense of life's experiences, manage stress and obligations, and build a stronger connection to who you are now and who you are becoming. It's okay not to have it all figured out. Therapy with me is a space where you can be real, ask big questions, and feel supported as you grow into who you want to become.
ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
Anxiety and depression are often your body's best attempt to ask for care or change, and necessary emotions to feel in moderation. Severity, frequency, and duration is what dictate medical necessity—that's where I come in. Anxiety and depression can be signals from parts of us that feel overwhelmed, stifled, or burnt out. My approach is relational, holistic (meaning I consider physical illness, lifestyle, diet, exercise, medication, supplements, etc.), and informed by nervous system science. In our work together, we'll explore the roots of your symptoms with self-compassion, while also building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, connected, and safe. Whether you're feeling stuck in a fog, constantly on edge, or somewhere in between, we can work together to rediscover your strength, your voice, and your spark.
CHRONIC ILLNESS & PAIN
Living with chronic illness and/or chronic pain can be an invisible battle that impacts your body, mind, identity, relationships, and sense of control. I understand how exhausting it is to advocate for yourself in systems that often don't want to listen, and I know how isolating it can feel when others don't understand what you're going through. I offer a space where your experience is believed, honored, and explored with compassion. We'll work together to tend to the emotional toll of chronic illness and pain, reconnect with your body in more supportive ways, and build a life that is considerate of both your hopes and limitations. I am happy to connect with other members of your treatment team, and I maintain a list of local referrals to a variety of functional and western practitioners that I personally vet.
PTSD + CPTSD
You do not need to relive or retell your trauma to heal from it. Whether it's a single traumatic event or the slow burn of complex, ongoing wounds, I approach treatment with deep respect for how the nervous system protects us. These diagnoses are not signs of weakness. They are evidence of survival, strength, and your body's instinctual ability to adapt and persist. Together, we'll work gently to reconnect you with safety, regulation, and the parts of yourself that may have gone into hiding. Healing from trauma does not mean forgetting—it is a reclaiming of your wholeness and your life, one small step at a time.​
GRIEF
Grief is not just about losing someone—it's also about losing parts of yourself, your routines, your sense of safety, or the future you imagined. It can be heavy, confusing, and prolonged. Whether you're mourning a person, relationship, career, version of your health, or a life path that didn't unfold the way you hoped, you'd be surprised how self-healing grief is when you give yourself space and permission to feel it. In our work together, that's exactly what I provide. There's no pressure to "move on" or "get over it." Instead, we'll honor your loss, talk deeply about who or what you're grieving, understand how it's reshaping you, and gently make room for meaning, connection, and growth in the aftermath.
