Do you feel weighed down by self‑doubt, shame, or old emotional wounds? You may be longing for a place to pause, breathe, and gather strength before taking your next step. If you’re unsure where to begin or wonder whether the version of yourself shaped by past experiences is the whole truth, you’re not alone. You deserve space to be heard and supported. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck reconnect with their resilience and worth. Many clients come to me for support with anxiety, people‑pleasing, relationship patterns, spiritual or identity shifts, and the lingering impact of past trauma.
My practice is a quiet rest stop for weary travelers—a place to slow down, reflect, and restore. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, IFS‑informed Parts Work, and Narrative Therapy to help you understand your story, soften self‑criticism, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and others.
You don’t have to carry everything alone. In our work together, you’ll find a warm, steady presence beside you—not to fix you, but to help you rediscover the wholeness already within you. Healing is about reclaiming your voice, your truth, and your sense of belonging. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and more yourself, I’m here to support you.

I treat OCD mainly with Inference-Based CBT, helping clients challenge obsessive inferences and rebuild self-trust. I-CBT allows us to explore and reframe the distorted inferences at the core of obsessive thinking. I also address the shame and isolation that often accompanies OCD using ACT, creating a space where clients feel understood and empowered to reconnect with themselves and others.
