Do you ever feel like something is off, but you can’t fully explain why? Maybe you don’t feel whole, feel disconnected from yourself, or aren’t really sure who you are underneath everything you’ve been through. Maybe you’ve spent so much time surviving, coping, or being who others needed you to be that you’ve lost touch with yourself along the way. I work with teens, individuals, and couples who want to better understand themselves, make sense of how their past has shaped them, grieve what was missing, and begin building a life and relationships that feel more grounded, connected, and true to who they are.
I help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles in a space that feels safe, supportive, and authentic. I take a personalized approach, don’t believe in putting people in a box, and will gently challenge the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I want therapy to fit you, your needs, and your growth!
I know how daunting it can feel to look for a therapist and how overwhelming it can be to wonder whether someone will be the right fit. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so you can ask questions, get a feel for my approach, and have agency in choosing the therapist who feels best for your needs.
