Great to meet you!

Do you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating, especially in your relationships, self-worth, or emotional life? Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or disconnected from themselves, often after trauma or major life transitions. They may appear to be functioning externally while feeling internally exhausted or uncertain. I work with adults and teens (16+) to understand these patterns, process underlying experiences, and create lasting emotional and relational change.

My approach to therapy

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're feeling stuck or unsure where to begin. I offer a grounded, supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can slow things down and make sense of what you're experiencing. Whether you're seeking relief, clarity, or a deeper sense of meaning and direction, I would be honored to support you.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you are unsure where to begin. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work together at your pace. Whether you are seeking relief, clarity, or a deeper sense of purpose, I would be honored to support you in taking the next step. Services are also available in German, Italian, and Spanish.
