About My Clients

If you’re feeling stuck in anxious thoughts, moving through a big life change, or struggling with your relationships or past, you don’t have to go through it alone. I specialize in supporting people facing anxiety, relational or complex trauma, and the ups and downs of life transitions. Together, we’ll work on untangling old patterns and building tools that help you feel more grounded and connected.

My Background and Approach

I know that feeling comfortable and heard makes a big difference. Therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and really understood—so that’s the kind of connection I work to build with every client. Your time in therapy is yours to define - I am not here to label you. Instead, I aim to understand your unique experience and work with you to unpack, explore and challenge the patterns keeping you stuck. I pull from various theories to fit each individual's unique needs, with the goal of helping you develop the tools necessary to be the expert on your own mental health! I also enjoy working with those who were (or still are!) the fixer, caretaker, peacekeeper, maybe even the “easy kid” in their families - the ones who held it all together or had to have it all together. As adults, this can show up as anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing, and can feel like carrying an unseen emotional burden.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life can be hard and messy, and as we navigate it, we each acquire our own unique set of baggage. It is my believe that no one is inherently bad or broken, we are all just doing our best with the baggage we're carrying. I believe that therapy is a space we can unpack that baggage, examine the contents, rework or discard the pieces that are no longer working and embrace and build on the things we value and love. I come to the therapy space as a professional..but also a fellow human navigating the mess! I strive to show up authentically with my clients and truly find joy in learning about and from each individual with whom I work.
