We all struggle, but sometimes typical ups and downs are just harder to navigate. Relationship woes, shifting goals, social pressures and life changes can leave us overwhelmed, stuck, or questioning if we're good enough. Anxiety can make decisions feel impossible. Support can help us to examine our paths and patterns and regain the confidence to build the life we want.
I'm passionate about working with those facing anxiety, self-esteem struggles or periods of change. I aim to walk with you, exploring struggles from new angles and providing you with strategies to shift patterns that have you stuck so that you can improve relationships, overcome obstacles and develop the confidence and clarity to build the life you want.
It can be hard to reach out for help and it’s important to find support that fits well with you. If you’d like to get a better feel for who I am or how I work, I am happy to connect with a free call or a video chat before we meet.

I spent years working in psychological research, student success and with adults changing careers before becoming a therapist. I love this work! I am also trained in EMDR for those looking for relief from trauma and its impacts.

With an integrative practice I tailor the experience to each client's individual needs, taking the time to explain why I think particular things will be helpful and working with clients to choose interventions that feel right for them. Technically, I pull from CBT, DBT, IPT, ACT, Rogerian, feminist, schema therapy and EMDR approaches. I'm happy to discuss these further in a consult if that helps.
