We all want to feel like we matter and that people get us. But it’s easy to feel lost or behind, like you’re never good enough, or only some parts of yourself are worth showing. Getting validation through work or relationships offers temporary relief at best, and numbing with substances or distractions often makes things worse. If you're tired of feeling this way, I can help. Let's talk about what’s going on and figure out how to make things better.

My approach is holistic, focusing on your overall well-being and learning the tools for change. We'll work on accepting life's ups and downs, developing healthier relationship patterns, and building practical skills for mindfulness and managing emotions. My goal is to help you live in line with your values and feel ready for any challenges ahead.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have about starting therapy. I'm interested in hearing about your goals and would be happy to talk with you. A small note: if you call instead of email, I ask you to please leave a voicemail so I can distinguish your call from a spam caller.
