You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and probably the friend everyone comes to for advice - but inside, things still feel messy. Maybe dating feels confusing or discouraging, anxiety won’t quiet down, or family dynamics keep pulling you back into old roles. You’ve done a lot of reflecting already, but you want something deeper than surface-level coping skills. Therapy with me is a space to be real, curious, and honest (no pressure to have it all together). We’ll laugh when it makes sense, sit with the hard stuff when needed, and gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you.
I work with individuals who want to better understand themselves, their patterns, and their relationships. My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-focused. We’ll slow things down and look at the why beneath what you’re feeling—how your past, your relationships, and your inner world shape your present.
If you’re someone who craves depth, values self-awareness, and wants therapy to feel both meaningful and human, we’ll likely be a great fit. You don’t have to keep figuring it all out on your own. I know finding a therapist is hard, so I offer free 10-15 minute video or phone consultations to make sure you feel like it's the right fit prior to scheduling!
