My approach is integrative and psychodynamic, guided by curiosity and tailored to meet you where you are.

As a therapist, I foundationally work from the belief that all humans deserve to feel safe and at home in their bodies. In this messy world, we can often find ourselves not trusting our bodies and wanting to change them. Sometimes within that mess, people may find themselves coping in ways that do not address their deep, underlying needs. I believe in this therapeutic process, you can reconnect with those needs and serve them more intentionally, healing the deepest parts of yourself. My goal is not only to help you find that healing, but to also enjoy and accept the messiness along the way.

Many people come to therapy because something in their life no longer feels sustainable. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, feeling disconnected from your own needs, struggling with grief or loneliness or carrying a sense of responsibility that leaves little room for yourself. Together, we create a space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and make sense of experiences that may have felt confusing, painful, or difficult to name.

You've spent a lifetime making sure everyone else is okay. Let's make sure you are too. You're the one who holds it together. Who shows up, figures it out, and keeps going, even when you're depleted. You've probably spent years making yourself smaller, more agreeable, more useful, just to feel safe or loved. And somewhere in all of that, you lost the thread back to yourself. I work with adults who are ready to stop abandoning themselves- people pleasers, burned-out caregivers, and survivors of narcissistic abuse who are beginning to understand that the exhaustion they carry has a name, a history, and a way through.

I provide a supportive, safe, and affirming space where you can slow down, unpack what you’ve been carrying, and express yourself openly — without judgment and with genuine empathy.
