Great to meet you!

Accepting new clients in NH, ME, and MA! I work with men and women navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, boundaries, people-pleasing, burnout, and unhealthy relationship patterns. Many of my clients understand what isn’t working but still find themselves repeating the same patterns: overthinking, getting stuck in unhealthy relationship dynamics, becoming emotionally overwhelmed, avoiding conflict, struggling to communicate their needs, or putting themselves last.

Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck and work toward meaningful change. I help clients build emotional regulation skills, set healthier boundaries, improve communication, and understand the relationship patterns influencing their lives. We’ll build self-trust so you can express your needs and make choices that align with your values.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I aim to create a safe space where you can gain insight, make meaningful changes, and simply be human.

What you can expect from me

I offer a free 15-minute consultation call where you can share a general idea of what’s bringing you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and see if we might be a good fit. From there, our first session is a chance to get to know you better, explore what you’d like to work on, and begin identifying your goals. You don’t need to know exactly where to start or have everything figured out, we’ll take it from there together.
