Together we can look at what brings you into therapy and what’s not working for you anymore. You might find yourself stuck in the same patterns in relationships, saying yes when you want to say no, overthinking every interaction, or feeling low and anxious without really knowing why. It can be hard to untangle all of that on your own. In our sessions, you can expect a calm, steady space where you don’t have to edit yourself. We slow things down so you can notice what’s really going on underneath the surface – in your thoughts, your emotions, and sometimes in your body too.
Together we’ll gently trace the threads between past and present – the patterns you keep getting pulled into, the roles you find yourself playing, the beliefs about yourself that may have started a long time ago. As we notice these patterns with curiosity , new choices often begin to appear – in how you respond, what you allow, and how you care for yourself.
Therapy with me can sometimes feel tender or uncomfortable – we’re touching real places – but my intention is that it also feels relieving, validating, and hopeful. We might look at relationship patterns, experiment with new ways of responding, or find simple tools you can use between sessions to support your wellbeing.

I work with people struggling with trauma, relationship patterns, and people-pleasing tendencies that leave them exhausted and unseen. In our first sessions, we'll explore how your body holds these experiences and connect them to early memories and family dynamics. Most clients notice reduced anxiety and stronger boundaries, feeling more grounded and able to live more authentically

We often focus on the body because the body keeps the score, while diving into early memories and childhood experiences. Understanding your history helps us understand you now, creating real change through awareness.
