If your brain feels like it has too many browser tabs open, therapy can be the place where we slow down and navigate them together. Therapy with me is about creating a safe, supportive space where you can show up as yourself, messy parts and all. I work with people facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, life transitions, and relationship stress, and I bring warmth, humor, and compassion to the process. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, grounded in trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, and evidence-based strategies with practical skills you can use in daily life.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each person's needs. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a conversation, not a lecture, so I bring warmth, compassion, and a touch of humor into our sessions.
