You might be someone who overthinks everything, feels things really deeply, or has spent a lot of your life trying to keep it together for everyone else. Maybe you’re emotionally overwhelmed, hard on yourself, exhausted from masking, or struggling to fully feel like yourself in your relationships.
A lot of the people I work with are insightful, self-aware, and genuinely trying; but still feel stuck in patterns that leave them anxious, disconnected, burnt out, or constantly questioning themselves.
Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and human. I’m not a stiff “how does that make you feel?” kind of therapist. I care about creating a space where you can show up as yourself; whether that means crying, laughing, swearing, processing through humor, or needing help slowing your nervous system down enough to even figure out what you’re feeling.
I work with many neurodivergent, highly sensitive, and emotionally overwhelmed adults navigating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, and relational wounds. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and tailored to you; because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and honestly, neither are people.
