We all struggle at times to see our inner strengths and capabilities due to the life experiences which have shaped us. I work in the belief that we each have everything we need to achieve a fulfilled and successful life already present within us; sometimes we just need a little help accessing it. Using a multi-modality approach I encourage my clients to work in the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring us to self awareness, acceptance, and lasting change.

Therapy shouldn't feel like talking to a stranger in a quiet room. It's a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood without pressure to be anything other than yourself. I'm here to learn your story, understand your perspective, and help you make sense of what you're experiencing in a way that feels supportive and human.

Psychotherapy is a process leading to the recognition of one's true self. As difficulties begin to "make sense," how to tackle personal problems becomes clearer. No one's depression, relationships, anxiety, or self-esteem difficulties are exactly like anyone else's. That is why understanding one’s unique life is more helpful than a diagnosis. Current problems are often influenced by past experiences which can then become generalized assumptions about life and others. It is important to separate assumptions from the truth. Good therapy results in personal understanding, but more importantly, a greater sense of being alive.

Are you the person everyone relies on, yet privately feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of yourself? Perhaps you struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling stuck and disconnected from your own needs.
Many of the clients I work with are tired of overthinking, carrying the weight of others' expectations, and repeating patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we explore how past experiences, trauma, and generational influences may be shaping your current relationships, self-worth, and emotional well-being.
