You’re used to holding a lot together on the outside while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected, or constantly “on” underneath. Maybe you’re carrying critical calls home after shifts, struggling to shut your brain off at night, navigating fertility grief or major life changes, or feeling exhausted by the pressure to keep functioning while everyone assumes you’re “fine.” You want therapy to feel human: a space to exhale, feel understood, calm your nervous system, make sense of what’s happened, and reconnect with yourself again.
I offer a warm, down-to-earth, relational approach to therapy for people who are carrying a lot behind the scenes. Many of my clients are first responders, healthcare workers, Millennials/Gen Z, or people navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, fertility journeys or big life changes. Therapy with me is collaborative, somatic & paced to your nervous system.
Therapy with me feels human and approachable: welcoming, collaborative, and paced to your life. I know starting therapy can feel vulnerable or overwhelming, especially if you’re used to being the one who holds it together for everyone else. You don’t need to have the “right” words or be in crisis to start. We simply begin where you are and work from there.

As a relational, trauma-informed therapist, I tailor care to you and pace work to your nervous system. I draw on somatic work, an attachment lens, EFT, mindfulness, and IFS/parts. For trauma, I offer Prolonged Exposure when appropriate. We'll keep sessions practical and human — integrating tools that fit real life.
