I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, depression, and existential concerns. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally struggling with overthinking, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from themselves. I’m especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients in a supportive, affirming, and non-judgmental space that helps them better understand themselves and move forward with more clarity and steadiness.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. I draw from cognitive, psychodynamic, somatic, mindfulness-based, and transpersonal approaches to help clients better understand patterns, regulate stress and emotions, improve relationships, and build more self-trust and emotional steadiness.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. My hope is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to make sense of what you’ve been carrying. I hope to hear from you!
