Are you feeling exhausted or overwhelmed? Do your emotions feel "too big?" Is there a sense something needs to change, but you're not sure where to start? You don't have to figure it out alone. My style is affirming, non-pathologizing, and relational. I prioritize safety and choice from a trauma-informed lens, so that therapy always feels collaborative.
In session, we don’t just talk! I integrate attachment theory, parts work, and somatics, so our sessions can include a variety of practical and experiential approaches. I help hold the container so that we can weave these new tools into a deepening understanding of who you’ve been, and who you are becoming.
Please feel free to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consult call to explore how we might work together. If it's not a good fit, I'm happy to make referrals elsewhere.
