Let's Connect (206) 279-1821

On the outside, it may look like you are holding it all together, but inside there is a heaviness no one sees. Worry, shame, anxiety, or the ache of not quite belonging can leave you feeling stretched thin or disconnected from yourself. In today’s challenging times, life can feel especially overwhelming and uncertain. Coping tools help, but sometimes you long for something deeper: a chance to slow down, explore your inner world, understand your patterns, and reconnect with who you really are. Therapy offers that space, a place where you can feel seen and understood while creating lasting shifts that bring a greater sense of peace.

My approach is relational, collaborative, and weaves somatic practices into our conversations. In our work together, we’ll create a space that invites you to pause, feel more connected, and gently turn toward yourself. It’s a place to build trust in your own voice, grow in ways that feel authentic, and move toward a deeper sense of acceptance and belonging.

Above all, my goal is to help you live in a way that feels real and aligned with who you are. I encourage you to bring your true self to our sessions, share what feels comfortable, and engage in genuine conversations. Seeking therapy takes courage. I’d be honored to connect with you. Reach out for a free 20-minute consult so we can see if we’re a good fit.

I work with clients who often appear "fine" on the outside but feel anxious, disconnected, or like they're carrying a lot inside. I offer a warm, collaborative space where I help you slow down, notice patterns, and reconnect with yourself. I focus on self-compassion, deeper understanding, and meaningful change as we work through anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and identity-related experiences.
