If you’ve spent a long time feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or weighed down by things from your past, therapy can be a place to start understanding how those experiences have shaped you. I don’t believe therapy is just about getting rid of symptoms. Sometimes the things we struggle with can tell us a lot about ourselves, including what we need and what may be ready to change. I tend to be pretty active in sessions. I’m not someone who is just going to sit back and listen while you do all of the talking. I’ll share what I’m noticing, help you make connections, and give you things to think about or work on between sessions. I’m also interested in the deeper questions that can come up in therapy, like meaning, identity, intuition, and figuring out who you really are underneath all of the expectations and experiences that have shaped you.
When it feels helpful and aligned with your comfort level, I offer optional tools like tarot to explore symbolism and inner meaning.
Ultimately, I want therapy to help you feel more like yourself, not less.
First session
I specialize in helping adults heal from childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. When we can’t let go of past experiences, it’s often because a part of us is still trying to understand what happened. Gaining clarity helps us release self-blame and move forward with confidence. In our first session together, we’ll talk through what’s been weighing on you, what you hope to change, and what support you're looking for right now. You’ll leave with a sense of clarity and direction for our work together.
Strengths
My approach combines evidence-based therapy with a deeper exploration of the patterns and experiences that shape your life. Dream interpretation, developing intuition and your special gifts are all part of the work I do. When it feels supportive and aligned with your comfort level, I may offer optional tools such as tarot for reflection and insight. These tools are never required, they are simply available for those who find them meaningful.
Ideal clients
In sessions, I’m an active and engaged participant. I’ll walk alongside you, help you connect the dots, and hold a space where you can feel good about who you are and where you're going. You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re ready to begin healing and moving toward a more grounded, empowered version of yourself, I’m here to help. I work best with clients who are looking for clarity, insight, and long-term growth rather than crisis-focused care.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I’m drawn to Jungian therapy because it looks beyond symptoms and explores the deeper meaning behind what we’re experiencing. I believe that part of becoming more fully ourselves involves getting to know the pieces of ourselves that may have been wounded, pushed aside, or hidden along the way. Jung called this process individuation. For me, therapy is about helping those different parts come together so that we can better understand who we are and live in a way that feels more whole and authentic.
