Looking for an experienced therapist can feel overwhelming—especially when life feels heavy. I bring 25 years of experience supporting people quietly struggling with overwhelm, perfectionism, emotional intensity, anxiety, mental restlessness, or neurodivergence. Often, there hasn’t been space to explore what’s underneath. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, make sense of your experiences, and find practical strategies to help you feel more grounded and in control.
I bring a deep, sustained passion for this work, supporting individuals navigating addiction, trauma, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD, as well as broader experiences of neurodivergence. I understand how challenges with self-regulation, attachment wounds, and complex emotional responses can disrupt stability and connection.
Using a parts-based approach, we focus on building stability, strengthening self-awareness, and developing practical tools to navigate your internal and external world. Whether you’re seeking insight, relief, or a better understanding of your patterns, I offer a space grounded in genuine presence, curiosity, and care.
