“If you don't become the ocean, you'll be seasick every day.” – Leonard Cohen. Life asks a lot of us. We’re constantly navigating waves—expectations, emotions, relationships, the pressure to hold it all together. Maybe you find yourself getting swept up or constantly bracing for impact. But change isn’t about learning to fight the tide; it’s about remembering you are the tide. That doesn’t mean passivity—it means using your agency effectively. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with the deeper currents within yourself and build trust in your ability to ebb, flow, rest, and rise with strength.
I work with people who often look “together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed or disconnected inside. Many of my clients are navigating ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or the effects of trauma, and want to understand themselves more deeply. Together, we’ll make sense of your patterns, strengthen your self-trust, and create tools that actually fit your life.
Think we might be a good fit? I offer free 20-minute consultations where you can ask questions and get a sense of what working together might look like. Reach out to find a time that works for you!

I like to say I work "at the intersections," where different parts of life, identity, and experience come together. The challenges we face don't usually fit into neat little boxes, and I believe real change happens when we make room for complexity.

I draw from different approaches to meet you where you're at. I believe the best methods are the ones that fit your unique needs. We'll work together to figure out what resonates with you, because therapy should feel personal, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
