Many of us learn to hide parts of ourselves to fit in, succeed, or stay safe. But when self-protection becomes second nature, it can leave us feeling disconnected, anxious, or stuck. My work is about helping you move from coping to healing to flourishing. My heart lies with supporting two types of clients who have had to learn to hide parts of themselves - LGBTQIA+ individuals facing the challenges of rejection, shame, and self-acceptance, and those with high-functioning anxiety - perfectionists, deep thinkers, and self-sacrificers who struggle to slow down and self-soothe.
Drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based work, I support clients in meeting their denied parts and painful memories with compassion. Rather than relying on rigid techniques or step-by-step strategies, I offer an experiential, relational process that fosters genuine emotional change — moving from self-doubt toward self-trust.
Clients often leave our work feeling as though they’ve revisited key moments in their lives with new clarity and understanding, freeing them to move beyond old patterns of self-protection. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a free consult to explore how I can support you on your journey.

While I don't currently accept mental health care plans, I have purposefully set my fee to be comparable to a standard gap amount. I also offer a limited number of discounted spots on my books because I feel everyone should have access to mental health care.
