What I want anyone reading this to know is that good therapy begins with safety and connection — whether that’s with me or with someone else — and that foundation matters most. Therapy is about gently unfolding the layers we build over time to protect what’s tender underneath. I draw from mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, and psychodynamic approaches, shaping therapy around the person rather than fitting the person into a method. Influenced by Karen Horney’s belief that we aren’t problems to be fixed, I see therapy as helping you come home to yourself, not become someone different.

I work with clients who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. I believe good therapy begins with safety and connection, creating a foundation where you can gently explore the layers built over time. In our early sessions, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you, meeting you exactly where you are.
