Maybe you’ve done a lot of thinking about yourself or your relationships, but still find yourself falling into the same patterns, or feeling stuck in places you can’t quite explain. Maybe you’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or trying to hold everything together on your own. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves more deeply, heal what’s keeping them stuck, and feel more connected to themselves and the people they love. My approach is warm, relational, and rooted in attachment. I believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about getting curious about the patterns you’ve developed, understanding why certain things feel so difficult, and making sense of the experiences that shaped you. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the ways you think, feel, and relate to others, so you can move through your life with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.
First session
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we're a good fit. We’ll start by reviewing the logistics of therapy and establishing informed consent. Then, I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy and what goals you hope to achieve. I believe that meaningful change is built on a strong therapeutic relationship, so it's important that you feel confident in my ability to support you and that your needs align with my areas of expertise.
Strengths
I show up to sessions as my authentic self, so you feel supported to do the same. I think that therapy works best when a client feels safe, and knows that the sessions are tailored to them individually.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are individuals or couples who are curious about themselves and ready to understand what is happening beneath the surface. They may be navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, unhealthy patterns, trauma, heartbreak, or a major life transition. I especially love working with people who want to feel more connected- to themselves, to their relationships, and the life they’re creating.
