I create a space where you can show up fully, without pretense, and feel truly seen and accepted. I don’t believe people are broken—we’re human, navigating the full range of emotions: pain, joy, regret, and everything in between. Often, the behaviors we judge ourselves for are ways we’ve tried to protect ourselves from pain. In therapy, we’ll explore these parts of you with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. Growth starts with self-acceptance, not perfection. I believe healing happens when we are met with genuine understanding, not judgment. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, reflection, and the space to explore your experiences honestly. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a place to reconnect with your values, your voice, and your sense of purpose.
stepping into a space that is candid, compassionate, and authentic. The therapeutic relationship is sacred—built on trust, honesty, and genuine connection. I’m not here to “fix” you because I don’t believe you’re broken. Instead, I’ll walk alongside you as we explore the parts of your story that feel heavy, confusing, or painful. I’m direct but warm, creating a space where you can be fully yourself without fear of judgment. I’ll ask meaningful questions, gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and support you in deepening your self-awareness. I value the strengths and struggles that make us human. Therapy with me is collaborative, where your voice matters, your experiences are honored, and growth happens at your pace. Most importantly, you’ll experience the power of being fully seen and accepted. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, embrace your authenticity, and find a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life.
Exploration Without Judgment: A safe, supportive space where you can be fully yourself. Curiosity Over Criticism: We’ll look at patterns with compassion, not shame. Growth at Your Pace: Therapy is collaborative—you set the pace, and your voice matters. Honest Reflections: I’ll be direct, but always with care, helping you see new perspectives. Deep Self-Reflection: Opportunities to explore your inner world and lived experiences in meaningful ways. You can expect sessions that are both reflective and exploratory. We'll focus on understanding your story, identifying what matters most to you, and exploring how to live in alignment with those values. Growth isn’t always linear, but with time, support, and intention, meaningful change is possible.
I work best with individuals who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. This includes high-achieving professionals navigating burnout, people facing major life transitions, and those struggling with trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt. You might feel like you’re doing all the right things on the outside, but something still feels off internally—whether it’s a sense of emptiness, chronic stress, or questioning your purpose. I support clients who are ready to dig beneath the surface, even when it feels uncomfortable, to uncover the patterns and beliefs that keep them feeling trapped. Whether you're managing the pressure of high expectations, adjusting to a new phase in life, or working through past experiences that still impact you today, therapy can help you feel more grounded, authentic, and connected to yourself. If you’re open to exploring your story with honesty and curiosity, and willing to lean into the discomfort that often comes with growth, I’m here to walk alongside you with support, compassion, and a space where you can truly be yourself.
In my practice, I integrate existential, psychodynamic, and compassion-focused therapy approaches. My experience with these methods allows me to help clients explore deeper emotional patterns, understand how past experiences influence present behaviors, and develop self-compassion along the way. I use these approaches to create a space where clients can reflect on their values, make sense of life’s complexities, and cultivate greater self-awareness. Through this process, clients often find a renewed sense of purpose, emotional resilience, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges with more clarity and confidence.
Therapeutic Modalities: I integrate various approaches to meet your unique needs: Existential Therapy: Exploring life’s big questions—meaning, purpose, freedom, and identity. Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT): Building self-compassion, addressing shame, and quieting the inner critic. Psychodynamic Therapy: Understanding how past experiences shape present patterns. Humanistic Therapy: Emphasizing personal growth, authenticity, and self-actualization.
