About My Clients

I work with adults who have spent much of their lives putting others first, often at the expense of their own needs. Many of my clients identify as people-pleasers, helpers, or peacekeepers who feel stuck in patterns of over-responsibility, anxiety, low mood, or complicated grief. Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, they may feel disconnected, burned out, or unsure of how to prioritize themselves without guilt.

My Background and Approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and insight-oriented. I help clients understand how long-standing patterns developed, how they continue to show up in the present, and how to begin making changes that feel both meaningful and sustainable. Therapy with me focuses on increasing self-awareness, building healthier boundaries, and learning how to respond to life from a place of intention rather than obligation. I work at a pace that feels safe and supportive, while also gently encouraging growth. I believe therapy should feel grounding and practical, not overwhelming or rushed. Together, we work to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your choices, and better equipped to navigate relationships and life transitions.
