MILLENNIALS ARE CYCLE BREAKERS.
I WOULD KNOW, I’M ONE OF THEM.

We’re the first generation shaped by the internet and the first to prioritize mental health.

Yet, many of us grew up internalizing harmful messages about who we’re supposed to be—messages that still leave us feeling unworthy, unseen, and stuck.

But enough is enough. Millennials are leading a mental health revolution, recognizing we’re not responsible for the harm we endured, but we are responsible for our healing—for ourselves and future generations.

True healing starts with the relationship you build with yourself. It’s about rediscovering who you are while letting go of who you had to be to survive or feel worthy. This journey takes courage, self-compassion, and the support of a trusted guide.

I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this path to authenticity, self-love, and freedom.

Let’s heal for ourselves and the generations to come.

Let’s tackle what’s holding you back and work toward a life that feels aligned, empowered and yours.

FEEL SAFE. Feel HEARD. feel UNDERSTOOD.

Therapy with me is more than just talking—it’s about creating real change. My approach is supportively direct, meaning I’ll share honest insights about your situation without judgment or shame. You deserve a therapist who truly listens, understands, and helps you uncover solutions that work for you.

I tailor our sessions to your unique needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic models, and I only recommend strategies or tools I’ve seen work firsthand. Whether it’s a podcast, a song, a book, or a new practice, I’ll provide resources that align with where you already find inspiration and guidance.

Here’s the truth: I may be the expert in therapy, but you are the expert in your life. That’s why our work together is a collaboration—a dynamic, empowering conversation designed to leave you with actionable insights. Every session will give you something meaningful to walk away with, whether it’s a fresh perspective, a new skill, or a reflective prompt to explore on your own.

You deserve support that feels effective, personal, and transformative. Let’s create that together.
