You don’t have to keep holding it all together.
I help clients move through anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, perfectionism, trauma, self-doubt, and life transitions — the quiet battles that often hide behind success.
Therapy with me is where you can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself — not to fix who you are, but to remember who you’ve always been

My Approach

 

You’ve probably spent a lot of time holding it all together. On the outside, things look fine — maybe even great. But beneath the surface, something feels off. The constant striving, the pressure to keep it all balanced, the quiet sense that no matter how much you do, it’s never quite enough. You might find yourself running on autopilot, feeling disconnected from the people you love, or wondering when life started feeling so heavy.

You’re not broken — you’re tired of living out of alignment. The truth is, it’s possible to look “successful” while feeling lost inside. It’s possible to be surrounded by people and still feel unseen. And it’s possible to outgrow the patterns that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck.

That’s the work we’ll do together. In therapy, I help individuals and couples slow down enough to actually hear themselves again — to reconnect with their emotions, rebuild relationships, and rediscover a sense of calm and purpose. My style is warm, engaged, and grounded in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed Parts Work. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, identify the patterns that keep repeating, and build new ways of relating that feel authentic and sustainable.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you come home to yourself. You can expect a space that feels grounded, safe, and deeply human — a space where insight, emotional attunement, and practical strategies come together to help you live and love with more ease, clarity, and confidence.

If you’re ready to move from surviving to actually feeling present and alive again, we’ll get there — step by step, together.

Education and Training

License Number: ASW115021

I am a licensed Associate Social Worker (ASW) working under the supervision of Kelly Mothner, Ph.D.

Before becoming a therapist, I earned my Master of Arts in Communications from the University of Southern California and built a successful career as a Senior Manager of Public Relations and Social Media at Warner Bros. Entertainment. Over time, I realized that what I valued most wasn’t publicity or performance — it was people. That realization inspired me to pursue my true passion: helping others heal, grow, and live more connected lives.

I went on to earn my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Denver, graduating with honors, and have since worked in private practice, where I’ve supported individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Having once built a “successful” life that looked complete on the outside but still felt unfulfilled, I understand the quiet dissonance that can come from achieving everything you thought you wanted — yet craving something deeper, more meaningful, and more aligned. That insight allows me to connect with clients who appear composed and accomplished, but are ready to feel more grounded, peaceful, and authentic within themselves.

My background allows me to bring both professional insight and genuine empathy into the therapy room. I strive to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and deeply human — one where real growth and healing can begin.
