You're here because something isn't working and you're finally ready to face it. Maybe it's a relationship that's falling apart, a painful betrayal, difficulties with food and feeling comfortable in your body, or a growing sense that you've lost yourself. You've likely already done a lot of thinking (and maybe some therapy), but you need more than just insight—you want change. My clients are thoughtful, resilient, but often at a crossroads. They're looking for clarity, direction, and a therapist who won’t just listen, but help them figure out what’s really going on and how to move forward.
