Anxious and overwhelmed by life’s curveballs or stuck in patterns of low self-worth? Feeling “not good enough” or “paralyzed” doesn’t have to be your default setting. I specialize in helping adults who are living with anxiety/OCD, healing from traumatic experiences/relationships or managing the mental-health impacts of chronic illness. I enjoy helping folks find balance and gain clarity in a world that is constantly telling us how we're “supposed” to be. Together we will sit down and unravel the complexities of being human in order to get to the root causes and find a more meaningful, intentional and workable path forward.
My style is warm, engaging, down to earth, and direct. I listen intently, ask questions with curiosity, slow down to help you connect to your feelings, and offer honest, real-time feedback about what I’m noticing. I pay close attention to not just what you’re saying but the patterns and dynamics underneath the surface so we can address root causes.
We may explore patterns keeping you stuck, develop skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, explore communication and boundary setting in challenging relationships, process past painful experiences, and practice self-compassion. Our work will focus on what truly matters to you—creating change that feels meaningful and sustainable.
