Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. I value authenticity and openness above all, and I aim to bring my full self into each session with the hope that you feel safe enough to do the same.
Others I have worked with have described me as a warm, humorous, and an intuitive provider.
Therapy works best when built on mutual trust and understanding; that connection is the foundation from which you can reach your goals. Clients often describe me as warm, intuitive, patient, and humorous, with an honest and gently direct approach. You can count on me to be straightforward and real with you, while always holding a compassionate, non-judgmental space for whatever you bring into the room. I specialize in working with people who are exhausted from over-functioning and tired of living with constant criticism. If you are ready to put down the pressure to hold everything together, heal from shame, and treat yourself with more compassion, you’re in the right place. Ultimately, my work centers on empowerment: helping you clear away what’s holding you back so you can regain your power, live freely, and experience life on your own terms.
First session
The first session will focus on rapport building and information gathering about mental health history and current concerns to make sure we are a good fit.
Strengths
I think I bring a mix of curiosity, perspective, humor, and a genuine investment in the people I work with. I'm someone who likes to get beneath the surface, connect the dots, and help make sense of things that might feel confusing or overwhelming. I enjoy helping people see themselves and their experiences in new ways, especially when they've been stuck seeing things through the same old lens. I also don't think therapy has to feel heavy all the time. There's room for laughter, spontaneity, and just being human. I want our sessions to feel like a space where we can be real, explore the hard stuff, celebrate the small wins, and figure things out together.
Ideal clients
I work well with high performing women who are struggling with over-functioning and over-performing across all areas of their lives. I also work well with individuals navigating unique challenges rooted in inter-generational trauma and who struggle with maladaptive coping skills due to feeling easily overwhelmed when trying to navigate conflict. While I work well with most people, these are areas I feel especially skilled in.
Treatment methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I have completed an Emotionally Focused Therapy externship that specialized in using EFT to help individuals of color.
Trauma-Informed Care
I am skilled in identifying how trauma is impacting ones functioning and/or making appropriate referrals to specific trauma focused modalities as needed.
Compassion-Focused
Self compassion and Somatic experiencing practices are two modalities I use to help clients cope with intense thoughts, feelings, and sensations in their body.
