Great to meet you!

I work mainly with women navigating the effects of past trauma, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, people-pleasing, boundary struggles, and major life transitions. Together, we can explore the experiences that have shaped the way you see yourself and begin creating a stronger, more authentic relationship with who you are today. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand your story, rebuild your sense of worth, develop healthier boundaries, and learn to make choices that align with the life you actually want. Let's work through what happened, understand how it shaped you, and help you reconnect with who you want to be.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. I would be honored to walk alongside you. Therapy is a process, and my hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, supported, and empowered to take your next step. If you’d like to learn more or schedule an appointment, please reach out through this listing or contact me directly.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when it’s both humane and honest. I combine psychodynamic work, exploring unconscious patterns, relationships, and early influences, with evidence-based CBT techniques to address present-day symptoms and build concrete skills. I prioritize warmth, empathy, and a gentle, relatable humor so clients can lower their guard, name difficult feelings, and experiment with change without shame. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or transitions, I’ll partner with you to understand what’s driving your difficulties and teach strategies that help you feel more grounded and in control.

What you can expect from me

The first session helps create a foundation for a safe, nonjudgmental space where empathy and real human connection come first. I allow clients to set the tone and pace of treatment. I want sessions to feel challenging, but not unbearable.
