Great to meet you!

I've been described as warm, real, and someone who helps things finally make sense. My counseling style is down-to-earth and judgment-free - I'm here to help you sort through what's difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be completely honest without fear of being judged or misunderstood.

My approach to therapy

I believe you're not broken - you're just stuck in patterns that once helped you survive but don't serve you anymore. Together, we'll figure out why your body and mind respond the way they do, especially when anxiety, freeze mode, people-pleasing, or old relationship patterns keep showing up. I help you understand that these responses make perfect sense given what you've been through, and then we work on building new ones that actually fit the life you're trying to create now.

What you can expect from me

I meet you exactly where you are and fit my approach to what you actually need. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, learn to trust what your body is telling you, and give yourself permission to have needs, set boundaries, and take up space without guilt or fear. We'll work together to build a life that reflects who you're becoming, not what you've survived.
