If you feel anxious, not good enough, or worn down, we might be a good fit. My clients know what it's like to feel different. How painful life can be. We can care for impactful memories without forcing past any walls. I support people to navigate hard emotions, let go of shame, and build an authentic life.
I’m warm, direct, and name elephants in the room. Feeling understood and becoming closer through miscommunications matters to me. I notice subtle shifts, existential themes, and how shame shows up. I use trauma-focused methods and assessments to support progress beyond just listening.
Showing up just as you are is more than enough. You don’t need to trust quickly, do generic coping skills, or even sit still when we meet. I care enough to challenge you when you're up for it and authentically connect. Feel free to reach out for a free consult! I respond within a day.

I see you as a whole person, not a diagnosis. I work well with people carrying the weight of trauma, depression, addiction, dissociation, anxiety, grief, shame, identity questions, relationship patterns, and/or the stress that comes from trying to hold everything together.
