Do you feel pulled in a hundred directions, trying to keep everyone else afloat while your own needs get pushed aside? Have you tried setting boundaries, only to feel guilty the moment you enforce them? Sometimes therapy doesn’t seem to get to the root of things. In sessions with me, we’ll slow down, notice the patterns that keep you stuck, and practice new ways of being that feel manageable. I focus on creating a space where you can be honest without judgment, so you start to trust yourself more and carry less of the weight you’ve been holding.
I’ll support you in noticing the patterns that keep you stuck, and teach you practical skills to respond differently—to set boundaries, manage anxiety, and navigate relationships without carrying everyone else’s weight. We’ll work together at a pace that feels safe, so you can start trusting yourself more and living with a little more ease.
In our work together, you won’t be rushed or judged. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, noticing old patterns and practicing new ways of responding that feel true to you. Therapy with me is about understanding yourself more deeply—and finally feeling safe enough to make changes that stick. Schedule an intro call to see if we’re a good fit.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, somatic, and trauma-informed therapy. While the tools matter, what tends to make the biggest difference is the relationship we build. Feeling safe, understood, and not rushed is what allows real change to happen.
