You're thoughtful and resilient, and you've worked hard for what you have. From the outside, you're the one others depend on — the one who's had to manage different worlds to get where you are. But underneath, there are old hurts and patterns that weigh you down. Maybe it's anxiety or depression you can't shake. Maybe it's a voice that says you're not good enough. Maybe it's relationship patterns you want to change. You don't have to carry it alone. Together, we'll work on healing those old hurts so you can stop just coping and start becoming who you really are.
Together, we'll get curious about the parts of you that carry anxiety, self-doubt, or old relationship patterns — and the deeper hurts that drive them. This isn't just about relief. It's about coming home to who you really are underneath it all, so you can build a life that feels peaceful, connected, and genuinely yours.
My style is warm, grounded, and supportive. I won't just nod along — as your guide, I'll offer the tools and direction you need to heal on your journey. Whether you've never tried therapy or had it not quite fit before, you're welcome here — LGBTQ+ clients included. When you're ready, let's talk — book a free 45-minute consultation.

I work with people who carry old hurts that show up as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or trauma. People who worked hard to get where they are but can't break the patterns that keep them stuck. Using IFS and mindfulness, we go beyond coping — we get to the root. The goal: less anxiety, more confidence, healthier relationships, and freedom from what you've been carrying.
