Are you self-aware but still stuck in painful patterns? Feel things intensely? Find yourself overthinking or caught in a worry cycle? Healing, growth, and inner calm are absolutely possible. You need a personalized approach that helps you not just understand how your unique mind works, but also break free of the patterns that are causing you distress. I start by helping you feel seen, understood, & liked. More importantly, I help you see, understand, and like yourself. By doing so we can identify the habits and nervous system reactions you couldn't spot on your own, and create tailored strategies to adjust them.
With 15 years experience working in social services, first as a health educator and then as a licensed therapist, there's not much I haven't seen or heard before. I use science-backed methods to identify what's blocking progress, and create personalized approaches that address root causes, not just the symptoms.
I know reaching out can feel scary. I have worked with many people who were unsure about starting therapy and/or skeptical that it could even help. They appreciated my warmth, intellectual depth, and direct communication (I don't just nod my head and ask 'how did that make you feel'). Reach out to schedule a free call to discuss how I might be able to help.

My priority is to delve deeply into what you're struggling with to truly understand what you need, and how I can help. Our work is collaborative and together we'll choose the direction therapy takes. Healing isn't linear, plateaus and setbacks are expected, but most clients report therapy having a positive impact. We'll work at your pace while moving toward the changes you want to see.

I tailor my approach to you and your needs, pulling from science backed methods like DBT, trauma informed models, and Motivational Interviewing. While therapy with me ideally feels safe and conversational, I do shape our time together to remain focused on the change and growth you've identified as goals for yourself. The pace will be set by your comfort level and nervous system's responses.
