Maybe you've spent years feeling like you had to be someone else—constantly trying to meet the expectations of others. Whether it’s unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or the weight of anxiety and depression, it can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self. You might find yourself stuck in people-pleasing, overworking, masking, or repressing your emotions. Coping can turn into unhealthy patterns like self-harming, developing addictions, OCD, or eating disorders. Together, we can unravel those patterns, understand how your past is shaping your present, and help you develop what you need to feel good in your own skin.
I believe everyone’s journey is unique, so I integrate various therapeutic approaches like person-centred, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, and somatic practices. This lets me tailor how I work to ensure I can meet you where you are. I offer a safe and collaborative environment where you can be your true self regardless of gender, race, age, or ability.
If it sounds like we could be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you! Having been on this journey myself, I know it can feel pretty unsettling, and I offer a free initial 20-minute consultation so you can get a sense of who I am and how we may work together. If we go forward, know that your voice and choices will always be respected, heard, and valued.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist (and a bit of a nerd), which means I draw from various schools of thought to inform my approach. In our first session, we'll take time together to clearly define and understand what you truly need from therapy, and I'll adapt my methods to suit your unique process. Some people need techniques, others seek understanding, and some require focused PTSD treatment
