You’re insightful, self-aware, and committed to your growth—but no matter how much work you’ve done, something still feels stuck. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, only to feel like you were guiding the sessions yourself. You’re not looking for basic coping skills or passive listening. You want a guide who’s seasoned, direct, and knows how to truly help you shift the deeper patterns keeping you stuck. I specialize in working with people like you—intelligent, driven, and ready for real change. If you’re ready to go beyond insight into transformation, I’m here for the next chapter.
I help self-aware, high-functioning adults who feel stuck despite all their personal growth work. My holistic, results-driven approach helps clients build clarity, trust themselves deeply, and create lasting change in their relationships, work, and inner lives. I don’t just support—I help you transform.
If you’re craving therapy that’s honest, intuitive, and built for depth—welcome. I offer more than talk. I offer guidance that meets you where you are and helps you go where you haven’t yet been able to go. If you’re ready to do the work with someone who truly gets it, I’d be honored to walk with you.
