My ideal client is someone who feels like they're carrying the weight of unresolved pain but struggles to put it into words. Maybe they've spent years putting others first, unsure how to prioritize themselves without guilt. They might be wrestling with feelings of inadequacy, perfectionism, or shame—whether about their body, their past, or their identity. They want a space where they can finally untangle these feelings, uncover their true self, and let go of the pressure to be "perfect." I enjoy working with people who have unique life situations, such as small business owners, people in trades, or people with complex lives.
I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, address disordered eating, explore their sexuality, and build self-esteem. My approach is rooted in authenticity, self-awareness, and fostering independence. I offer a straightforward, compassionate style that empowers people to take ownership of their growth, and finally come home to themselves.
Taking the step to seek therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also an act of courage and self-care. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, exploring what’s holding you back and finding ways to move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.

I primarily use a Psychodynamic lens as well as Humanistic and Feminist. This means that I am interested in looking at your family of origin and past relationships to see if there are any correlations between issues of today and the past. It also means I care about our therapeutic relationship, and I value equity in our dynamic.
