About Me
My Mission
I’m passionate about providing the right tools and support to overthinking, self-critical individuals so you can heal from social anxiety and perfectionism and show up confidently in everything you do . My goal is to help you feel calm, connected, and confident.
Having experienced the toll of anxiety myself, I understand how exhausting it can be when your own mind feels like an enemy. In the past, I dealt with intense anxiety, and it was CBT therapy that finally helped me quiet the relentless worry and begin living with confidence. This experience shapes my approach to anxiety treatment — I use practical, evidence-based techniques that not only worked for me but continue to be effective for my clients.
