I am a registered psychotherapist practicing since 2022, specializing in attachment theory and emotion-focused therapy.

Throughout life there are unpleasant experiences you have survived that directly impact the way you view yourself, others, and the world. Maybe you’re actively experiencing these events or are experiencing the effects of them years later. At times, the self you previously knew feels lost as unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sadness increase in intensity and the things you used to enjoy are no longer providing you with a break. Continuing to avoid the uncomfortable is exhausting and repeats the cycle you are trying your best to stop.

You may look high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. I support adults navigating perfectionism, neurodivergence, attachment wounds, and trauma, often rooted in early experiences that shaped how you relate to yourself and others. Many clients come to therapy feeling “too much” or “not enough” at the same time. My approach is trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming, and culturally inclusive, offering a gentle space to build emotional regulation, self-compassion, and safer connection at your own pace.
