What if nothing is "wrong" with you? What if your mind has simply become really good at surviving? Therapy isn't about erasing parts of yourself—it's about understanding why they developed and deciding whether they're still serving you. Many of the people I work with are the helpers, overthinkers, perfectionists, and people who hold everything together until they can't anymore. Together, we'll get curious about the patterns that shaped you, honor the purpose they once served, and build a life that's guided by intention instead of survival.
Not every breakthrough happens by sitting on a couch talking. Sometimes it happens while creating art, walking outside, using metaphor, exploring values or finding the right question instead of the right answer. I combine evidence-based therapies with creative and experiential approaches because healing isn't one-size-fits-all—and therapy shouldn't be either
Starting therapy doesn't require certainty—it just requires a willingness to take one step. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. We'll slow down, make sense of where you've been, and explore where you want to go next. Sometimes therapy isn't about finding yourself—it's about finding your way home to yourself.

I believe therapy should be accessible. If I'm not in-network with your insurance, I may be able to provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. I also reserve a limited number of reduced-fee appointments for clients experiencing financial hardship. If cost is a concern, please reach out.
