About My Clients

You want to stop people pleasing, overcome anxiety, heal trauma, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships. Maybe relationships feel hard or you're finding it difficult to set boundaries with family and friends. If this sounds like you, I'm so glad you're here. I can help you explore the fears, the doubts, and the desires to create a deeper sense of harmony within yourself. I specialize in supporting adults experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. My practice is Online Only.

My Background and Approach

I help individuals and couples seeking deeper connection. Clients I see often have anxious/avoidant attachment, social anxiety, people pleasing tendencies or are needing help with relationship concerns. I help you build confidence, emotional safety, and more secure, fulfilling relationships. By creating a safe, nonjudgmental space, I help high-functioning adults and couples who feel anxious, stuck in people-pleasing, or disconnected in relationships understand the deeper patterns driving their stress. Together we build self-awareness, self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating so you can feel more grounded, authentic, and connected. I strive to create a trusting and empathetic relationship with my clients. I want to understand my client as a whole person and not just address a symptom or problem. My goal in counseling is to develop an authentic relationship with you so that in collaboration we can fulfill your goals. I want to empower each client to live the life they choose.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Deep emotional processing requires a strong foundation built on trust and the nurturing of a genuine relationship. As a relational therapist, I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of healing, as it is through connection and trust that true growth can bloom. ​Know that wherever you are in the process, I will meet you there. I believe individuals have the power to grow and change, to choose what defines them, and to create an authentic life that is true to one's own values and goals. Building a trusting and genuine relationship with you sets the foundation of our work together. My main modality is IFS to help client's process emotions, trauma, and build self-compassion. This is a trauma focused, attachment based modality that is helpful for individuals and couples. For relationships, I am a Gottman Level 2 therapist and utilize EFT.
