My approach

Existence is so weird, right? One moment you’re spiraling with questions like, “Why am I here? What’s the point? Who even am I?”—and the next you’re strutting around like the main character, unstoppable and on top of the world. Then, out of nowhere—boom—you’re face-planting straight back into the existential void. So what do we do with all this? It’s overwhelming.

I grew up performing—captivated by the magic of embodying all the parts of myself I was keeping hidden in my everyday life. Acting wasn’t just a passion; it was a way to safely practice connection and existing. As a therapist, I bring my creative spirit into the space. Using talk and drama therapy techniques—like role-play, improv, storytelling, and games—I’ll support you as you navigate this thing called existing. 

I’m passionate about working with the square pegs in a round-hole world—the creatives, the nerds, the deep feelers, the folks who’ve always felt a little out of sync with “normal.” Together, we untangle the messy stuff.  Sure, I’ve got clinical skills, but I bring lived experience, curiosity, and a sense of humor about the weird chaos of being human.

I believe it’s crucial to make space for joy and humor both in and outside of sessions. Therapy is hard work, yes—but it can also be playful, exploratory, and a space where you get to try on different hats and see what fits. I truly love what I do.

  • Are you reaching for something—anything—to escape the numbness or break through the fog of depression? I get it. I’ve been there too—looking for a person, a high, a moment that might spark some hope or help me feel alive again. But those quick fixes never lasted. More often than not, they left me feeling emptier and more disconnected.

    Over time, I’ve found more sustainable ways to experience joy, connection, and hope. And I believe you can too. Together, we can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface—the root of that emptiness—and start to gently untangle it.

    Sex and weed can absolutely be fun, meaningful parts of life. But if they’re becoming the only ways to feel something, it might be time to look at the void itself—and come up with creative, compassionate ways to fill it that truly nourish you.

  • Someone hurt you—and now it’s hard to move forward. Maybe their impact still lingers in your day-to-day life: the way you communicate, the way you love, the way you trust (or don’t).

    Relationships are foundational to our well-being. We need them to survive. When there’s abuse, betrayal, or deep rupture, it leaves a mark. There’s no shame in feeling that pain. But that doesn’t mean you have to live in it forever.

    You deserve relationships that feel safe, supportive, and real. Together, we can explore what healing looks like for you. I’ll provide a space where you can untangle the past and learn what healthy connection—and communication—can truly feel like.

  • Will I ever figure out what I want to do with my life?
    Does everyone else have it all together but me?
    Who am I? Why am I here?
    Also… the world is literally on fire.

    If any of that sounds familiar—you’re not alone. This confusion and overwhelm are incredibly common, even if no one’s really talking about it. I’ve been there too, and I remember wishing I had someone to help me through it.

    Let’s take the pressure off. This phase of life doesn’t have to be defined by anxiety or self-doubt. I’m here to normalize what you’re feeling, and to help you explore your path with curiosity, compassion, and even a little humor. Together, we can make this time not just bearable—but meaningful and maybe even … fun.

  • Your thoughts aren’t reality.

    Wait—what?

    They can feel incredibly loud and convincing, yes. They can shape your mood, your decisions, your sense of self. But they are not facts. They’re not who you are. And they’re definitely not the full story of what you're capable of.

    Maybe your anxiety shows up as constant overthinking, perfectionism, or the inability to just relax. Maybe you seem like you’ve got it all together on the outside, while on the inside it feels like you're barely hanging on. That’s high-functioning anxiety—and it’s exhausting.

    Or maybe you’re navigating full-blown panic attacks, where your body goes into overdrive and everything feels unsafe—even when you're technically fine. That fear is real, but it doesn't have to control you.

    And depression? It can creep in quietly or hit like a wave. Sometimes it looks like crying in bed. Other times, it’s just a numb, heavy fog while you keep performing like everything’s okay. That’s burnout. That’s survival mode.

    I get it. I’ve lived through many versions of these experiences. I’ve learned how to redirect my attention, shift my inner dialogue, and lean into practices that actually support me—not shame me.

    You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we can make space for your full experience, unpack what’s going on underneath, and build a toolbox that helps you feel more grounded, clear, and resilient—even on the hard days.
