Great to meet you!

Maybe you’ve been feeling a little out of touch with yourself lately. You might be going through the motions, second-guessing your choices, or wondering why your relationships feel harder than they used to. If that sounds familiar, it’s a good place to start. I work with people who want to feel more like themselves again and build a life that feels meaningful and connected. I also know from my own life that growth isn’t always neat or linear. I navigated early challenges, including foster care and trauma, and those experiences shape the patience and compassion I bring to our work together.

My approach to therapy

I believe healing happens in connection: with yourself, with your body, and with the people around you. My approach weaves together a few different ways of working. We’ll talk about your relationships and the patterns that show up in them, including what it’s like to sit in the room with me. We’ll practice slowing down and noticing what’s happening for you in the moment. And we’ll pay gentle attention to your body, since it often holds onto stress and feelings we haven’t put into words yet. I’ll follow your lead on what feels comfortable, and you’re always welcome to tell me if something isn’t working for you.

What you can expect from me

Reaching out is a big step. Our first session is simply a chance to get to know each other, and it often feels more like a conversation than an interview. You can share as much or as little as you’d like about what’s bringing you in, ask me questions about how I work, and get a sense of whether we’re a good fit. You don’t need to have the right words or tell your whole story at once. If the nerves show up while we’re talking, we can pause and take a breath together. Over time, our work is about helping you understand yourself more clearly, feel steadier when emotions run high, and trust yourself in your choices and your relationships. My hope is that you’ll walk away with more confidence and resilience, and a stronger sense of who you are.
