Is your inner voice constantly tearing you down, making it hard to move through your day or find joy in things that once felt meaningful? You might be carrying invisible pain whether emotional, physical, or both - that others can’t see but that affects everything. Living with a harsh inner critic or a chronic condition can feel isolating, frustrating, and exhausting. If you’re feeling stuck between who you were and who you are now, therapy can be a space to grieve, reflect, and rebuild trust in yourself.
In our work together, we’ll explore how to relate to yourself with more understanding and less judgment. I offer a space where you can be honest about the hard stuff, where your pain is valid and your experiences are seen.

My approach is flexible and grounded in connection. I focus on building a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's going on in your life and what matters most to you. I have training in several specific treatment modalities, but often draw on principles from Acceptance & Commitment therapy and Interpersonal theory. I would love to talk to you about your specific needs.
