My website
Bound & Balanced is a therapy practice grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins in a space that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely understanding. Our work is rooted in balance—between connection and autonomy, insight and growth. I offer an inclusive and affirming environment for individuals navigating emotional challenges, relationships, and personal growth. I welcome clients across a wide range of identities, relationship structures, and lived experiences, meeting each person with respect rather than judgment. I am currently also with Let's Figure It Out Counseling in Summerville, SC and accepting insurance!
I approach therapy as a reflective process where people can slow down, make sense of their experiences, and feel supported in showing up as they are. Creating a space that feels grounded, honest, and nonjudgmental is central to how I work. I value curiosity, depth, and genuine connection.
My goal is to provide a calm, grounded setting where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward greater balance and connection—on their own terms and at their own pace. You don’t have to simplify your life or fit into a particular narrative to be understood in therapy.
