My clients often long for deeper peace, stronger boundaries, and more authentic relationships—but they may not know where to start. Many are navigating life transitions, past trauma, or complex emotions that leave them feeling isolated or exhausted. They want to feel more grounded, aligned, and confident in who they are and how they move through the world. That’s where I come in. I help by creating a compassionate, empowering space for you to slow down, tune in, & heal. Together, we explore what’s getting in the way of the life you want to live. My work is rooted in modalities like ACT, CBT, IFS, Brainspotting, & mindfulness. In our first few sessions, you can expect to feel heard, supported, and not rushed.
Our first session is all about getting to know you—not just what’s bringing you to therapy, but also who you are beyond the struggles. We’ll talk about what’s been feeling heavy or overwhelming lately, and I’ll ask questions to get a sense of your history, your goals, and how I can best support you. You don’t have to have it all figured out or know exactly where to start. I’ll guide the process at a pace that feels comfortable, and there’s no pressure to share anything before you’re ready. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe being fully yourself. By the end of the session, we’ll explore what you’d like to work on in therapy and make a plan together that feels aligned with your needs. Whether you’re coming in with a specific concern or just know something needs to change, you’ll be met with curiosity, care, and collaboration.
What makes my approach stand out is the way I blend depth, practicality, and compassion. I don’t just focus on surface-level symptom relief—I help clients explore the deeper emotional patterns, beliefs, and relational dynamics that are often at the root of their struggles. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and parts work (such as IFS), but I also integrate somatic tools, mindfulness, and relational therapy to support healing on multiple levels—mind, body, and nervous system. Sessions often include practical skills you can use outside of therapy, along with reflective conversations that help you build self-awareness, emotional clarity, and confidence in your choices. Clients often tell me they feel seen, safe, and deeply understood in our work together. They begin to notice real change: setting healthier boundaries, feeling less emotionally reactive, trusting themselves more, and reconnecting with a version of themselves they may have lost along the way. This isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about meaningful transformation, and learning how to live with more ease, purpose, and emotional freedom.
I work best with high-functioning adults who may appear to “have it all together” on the outside but inwardly feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or exhausted from constantly meeting others’ expectations. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, or a sense of never quite feeling “enough.” They are often deep thinkers, helpers, or caretakers who are ready to turn inward and prioritize their own emotional wellbeing. Clients who benefit most from working with me are open to self-reflection and growth, even if they feel stuck or uncertain about where to begin. They may want to better understand their emotional patterns, strengthen their boundaries, recover from past relationship wounds, or reconnect with a more authentic and grounded version of themselves. My approach is especially supportive for those navigating life transitions, grief, inner child work, or identity shifts. If you’re seeking a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to untangle what’s weighing you down and learn how to live with more clarity, calm, and confidence—I’m here to help.
In practice, I use ACT by helping clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to avoid or control them. I guide them to clarify their core values and support them in taking committed action toward those values, even in the presence of discomfort. Through mindfulness, defusion, and acceptance strategies, clients learn to become more psychologically flexible and live a more meaningful life.
