Great to meet you!

I work with adults who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves and are ready to look honestly at what's not working in their lives. Most of the people I see are juggling demanding careers, family responsibilities, or both, and have been pushing through anxiety, low mood, or chronic overwhelm for longer than they'd like to admit.

The work I'm most drawn to: anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, women's issues, and the patterns that keep us stuck.

My approach to therapy

My style is collaborative and practical. We'll work together to notice the patterns running underneath the day-to-day stress, such as where they came from, what they're protecting, and where they're getting in your way.

From there, we experiment with realistic changes between sessions. I draw on many different practice modalities, and adjust based on what's genuinely helpful for you. No worksheet-as-homework, no generic advice, the work is built around your life.

What you can expect from me

The first session is mostly about getting to know you, what's brought you, what you've already tried, and what would feel different if therapy worked. There's no pressure to walk in with it all figured out. We'll also sketch a rough plan together for what the next few sessions could focus on.

Over time, my clients tend to feel more grounded and self-compassionate, more comfortable setting boundaries, and more in charge of the choices that shape their everyday lives.
