Are you doomscrolling through social media, feeling disconnected and unmotivated? Has it become harder to feel confident or engaged in your daily life? Is the inner experience of your mind feel completely mismatched with what you experience out in the world? You may be struggling with loneliness, anxiety, self-criticism, shame, career stress, and retreating into unhealthy coping mechanisms such as excessive cannabis, alcohol, or pornography. Perhaps you long for deeper connections, but fear, doubt, or past experiences make it seem impossible to be yourself or express your needs. You don’t have to navigate these struggles alone.
As a Person-Centered and Emotionally Focused therapist, I offer a warm, engaged, and collaborative space to explore and experience. Together, we’ll work to transform shame and self-doubt into genuine self-acceptance, heal attachment wounds, and cultivate relationships that feel more authentic and fulfilling.
Therapy is an opportunity to freely explore your thoughts, emotions, deepen self-awareness, and reconnect with what truly matters to you. My role is to support and empower you—because you are the expert of your own life. Please reach out to schedule a free 30min consultation session. I am currently accepting sliding scale clients for 2026 via Open Path.

Many of my clients struggle with navigating identity, negative self-judgment, low motivation, problematic pornography, masturbation, self-expression, feeling misunderstood, and not participating in their own lives. Unpacking these issues involves reflecting what is meaningful for them, giving a voice to what is often unsaid but felt deeply, and trusting that they are always in the driver's seat.
