Adults
Support for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship challenges—along with self-esteem, burnout, perfectionism, shame, communication struggles, identity exploration and other concerns impacting daily life.
A steady, collaborative space to feel more like yourself
You might be functioning on the outside, but internally feeling anxious, self-critical, or stuck in old patterns. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with what feels true for you.
Important: I am currently a therapy intern at Mindful Way Therapy (a group practice), supervised by Troy Weber, MS, LMFT.
About me
I work with adults, couples, and teens, including clients diagnosed with ADHD and autism. My style is down-to-earth, collaborative, and non-judgmental, with space for both warmth and directness.
With a background in tech, I understand burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and pressure to perform. I’m also mindful of bicultural and first/second-generation dynamics, especially when family expectations and personal values feel in tension.
Who I work with
I support adults, couples, and teens who want to better understand themselves, improve communication, and feel more secure in their relationships and choices.
Couples
Support for couples navigating communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, trust and connection concerns, and major transitions. I may weave in Gottman-informed techniques and exercises as needed.
Teens
A supportive, non-judgmental space for teens navigating anxiety, self-esteem, identity development, social or family stress, school pressure, and life changes while building practical coping tools.

My approach
