You might be doing everything “right” on the outside while still feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself on the inside. Maybe you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, seeking reassurance, or quietly asking yourself if you are ever enough. I work with moms and individuals navigating perinatal mental health, eating disorders, anxiety, perfectionism, and persistent patterns that are hard to break even when you recognize they are not serving you. As your therapist, I show up with warmth, connection, authenticity, and a bit of humor to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself.
My approach is holistic and collaborative using a person centered, strengths-based approach, while integrating tools from CBT, DBT, & ACT to meet clients' unique needs. I believe that the behavioral patterns we struggle with often begin as ways to protect us, and they deserve compassion, attention, and healing rather than judgment.
My goal is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself, feel understood, and begin building more self-trust and flexibility in how you relate to yourself and your life. You deserve peace and healing, and I would be honored to help you meet your goals. If what you've read resonates with you, schedule a free 15-minute consult call to explore fit!
