It really hurts to feel unseen, especially when you’re struggling to make sense of what you’re feeling. Maybe you're overwhelmed by emotion but draw a blank when asked to describe what’s under the surface. Whether you experience attachment wounds that keep reopening, the overwhelming worry of being “too much” and making mistakes, or toxic past relationships you can’t shake, you’re ready to do things differently. Healing looks so different for different people! As a relational therapist, I offer therapy shaped around your pace, identity, and experiences, not a one-size-fits-all model.
Whether you're seeking individual healing, relationship therapy, LGBTQ+ identity affirmation, identity exploration, teen support, or attachment work, my goal is to help you be able to understand yourself and your relationships better and feel empowered to rediscover your strengths. I draw from EFT, DBT, IFS, and Narrative Therapy to find your best fit!
If you’re longing for deeper understanding, stronger self-esteem, a more grounded identity, more meaningful relationships, and a safe space to explore who you are, reach out today! Let’s navigate a different way forward together.
