You're here because you want to break patterns. You find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in your own head—especially when it comes to relationships, boundaries, or big life transitions. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive,” or you struggle to trust yourself and your decisions. You might overthink conversations, question your worth, or feel pressure to have everything figured out when you don’t. If this feels familiar, you're not alone....and I'm here to help you. I am currently at capacity but I'm maintaining a wait-list. Message me to be added to my wait-list and I will respond within 24 to 48 hours.
I work with adults and teens alike using a warm, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approach. Together, we’ll make sense of your emotions, understand patterns in your relationships, and build self-trust, emotional steadiness, and boundaries that actually feel doable.
Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real tools you can use in your everyday life. You don’t need the “right words” or a clear plan to begin—just a willingness to show up as you are.
