You're smart and self-aware - yet you continue to overthink, struggle to set boundaries, or feel like you're not living up to your potential. Maybe you're navigating a major life transition, questioning relationships or career choices, or trying to figure out what you actually want instead of what you think you should want. You're tired of old patterns playing out in new situations - the people-pleasing, the self-doubt, the feeling that everyone else seems to have it figured out. You want clarity, confidence, and a life that feels authentically yours.
We'll explore how early messages about your worth still shape your self-esteem and relationships. Together, we'll trace critical inner voices to their origins and actively rewrite those scripts. This isn't just insight - it's practical change in how you show up in the world.
Therapy with me is a space where you don't have to perform or hold it all together. We'll work collaboratively at your pace to help you stop managing symptoms and start living a life aligned with who you really are. If you're ready for that conversation, let's connect.

I help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions by exploring how past experiences shape current patterns. We'll identify origins of self-critical thoughts, then actively build new ways of relating to yourself and others. Expect increased self-compassion, clearer boundaries, and confidence to live authentically.

I use psychodynamic and ACT approaches to explore how your past shapes your present, then help you clarify your values and goals, and take committed action toward them. Sessions are collaborative and move at your pace—some focus on understanding patterns, others on practicing psychological flexibility. Expect directness, warmth, and a space where you can be genuinely yourself.
