Are you feeling stuck in your relationships — unsure of your needs, boundaries, or who you are anymore? Maybe you’ve been in a toxic dynamic or find yourself repeating patterns that leave you anxious or overwhelmed. I work with young and midlife adults from diverse backgrounds — including people of all genders, LGBTQ+ folks, and BIPOC individuals — to better understand themselves and build healthier, more authentic relationships, starting with the one they have with themselves.
My style is warm, collaborative, and exploratory. I draw from ACT, CBT, IFS, and trauma-informed practices to help you reconnect with your values, understand your patterns, and move forward with confidence. Therapy with me is a space for honesty, curiosity, and growth — not perfection.
If you're ready for therapy that goes deeper than symptom management, I'm here when you're ready. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation — I'd love to hear your story and see if we’re a good fit for working together.
