Most people have extreme financial stress in their lives and don’t understand how their beliefs about money affect behavior (think overspending, gambling, excessive shopping, etc). Debt is never the problem; it’s always the symptom.

Most therapists don’t have their own money beliefs figured out so money is often not explored in therapeutic spaces. A lot of people have trauma around money either from childhood, job loss, or large debt, etc. that contribute to the way they work with or manage money.

Money is the only other relationship (aside from food) that we can’t go through life without. People who have “money problems” have to learn a different way of navigating their relationship with money much like a person with anorexia or bulimia has to learn a different way to think about and navigate their relationship with food. 

In my work with depression, I recognize how isolating and overwhelming depression can be. Drawing from both interpersonal process therapy and feminist theory, I help you understand how your past experiences, relationships, and cultural context influence your current struggles. Rather than simply focusing on what's wrong, we'll work to identify your inherent strengths while I hold hope for you until you're ready to carry it yourself. Together, we'll develop concrete tools for managing depression while working toward deeper, lasting change that honors your whole self.

I understand how overwhelming anxiety and performance anxiety can be. Together, we'll explore how your past experiences and cultural context might fuel current anxiety patterns, particularly in high-pressure situations. Rather than just managing symptoms, we'll work to understand your unique story and strengthen your authentic voice. I'll hold a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore both vulnerabilities and strengths, helping you move from survival mode toward genuine confidence and self-trust. Together, we'll develop practical tools that align with your personal values and goals.

Using interpersonal process therapy, we'll explore how your attachment history influences your relationships today, while considering how your unique background and identities affect these dynamics. Together, we'll create a safe space to understand your patterns, strengthen your authentic voice, and develop deeper, more fulfilling connections. Rather than focusing solely on current conflicts, we'll work to build lasting insights and tools that help you cultivate the meaningful relationships you deserve.

I understand that each person's experience is deeply personal and deserves to be honored with care and sensitivity. Together, we'll move at your pace to explore how past experiences impact your present life, while considering how your unique context shapes your healing journey. I create a safe, consistent space where you can process your experiences without judgment, helping you move from survival toward genuine wholeness. Sometimes, my role is to hold hope and trust in your healing until you're ready to carry it yourself. Together, we'll work to help you reclaim your sense of safety, strength, and authentic self.
