Therapy with me is straightforward and low-pressure—more about having a space to think things through than deep emotional analysis. I take a practical approach, helping you process what’s on your mind in a way that feels useful rather than overwhelming.
I work best with self-reflective people who appreciate direct conversations without unnecessary formality. Many of my clients have high-stress jobs or are balancing the demands of work, children, and aging parents. If you prefer a flexible, non-rigid approach and want a space to step back, gain clarity, and move forward, we might be a good fit.
I work best with people who prefer honest, direct conversations and a low-pressure environment. Whether you’re managing stress, dealing with a demanding job, or balancing family responsibilities, I offer a space where you can step back, reflect, and gain clarity without overcomplicating the process.
When you’ve spent years in a demanding job, balancing responsibilities, and managing expectations, it’s easy to push your own thoughts and stress aside. Maybe you’re used to handling things on your own, but at some point, it helps to step back and make sense of everything. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
