It takes courage to recognize when something in your life isn't working the way you'd hoped. Maybe things appear tolerable on the surface, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you truly need. You may be wrestling with patterns that no longer serve you—conflict with a loved one, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling overcome by parts of yourself you’ve learned to hide. I work relationally and psychodynamically, helping you notice how past experiences and attachment patterns are showing up in the present. I also pull from somatic approaches for those seeking grounding and nervous system support.
I work with both individuals and couples and some of my specialities include relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and ADHD. Whether you’re hoping to improve communication, reduce distress, or feel more grounded and authentic in your relationships, we’ll work collaboratively to support the change you’re seeking.
Before becoming a therapist, I studied theater, a background that deepens my ability to help clients understand the stories they've inherited and make room for new ones. While this work can feel vulnerable, you won’t be doing it alone. I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to help you feel safer exploring what’s been too heavy to carry by yourself.
