Have you tried therapy before and felt like things just never quite clicked? Or maybe things were working for a while and then stalled? I often hear this from clients who have had therapy in the past… Working with me, our therapeutic relationship is a top priority. My approach highlights identifying and exploring your past experiences that have led to your current difficulties. Through compassionate feedback, challenging of patterns in session, and empowerment to try new ways of engaging outside of sessions you will see changes quickly.
Together, we’ll go at a pace that blends safety and discomfort to help move you toward the change you’ve been looking for. I frequently hear from clients that the depth of work we do feels different from their past therapy experiences – and clients often leave sessions with an increased understanding of themselves and why they do things the way they do.
Ultimately, my intention is to help you process through past experiences while also reconnecting you with your sense of self and authenticity. If this sounds like the work you are hoping to do – contact me so that we can schedule a 15-minute consult call.

I enjoy helping people connect with their most authentic selves, whether through rediscovering themselves after being molded into someone they are not or exploring new parts of themselves they never had the chance to discover.
