About My Clients

I work with adults who may look like they have it all together while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. Many of my clients are people-pleasers, overthinkers, perfectionists, or people who have learned to minimize their own needs. If you're tired of second-guessing yourself or repeating the same patterns, therapy can be a space to get curious, reconnect with yourself, and start living loud!

My Background and Approach

I welcome all parts of you! Every thought and emotion has a place here. I want to know the thoughts you think you're not supposed to have, the feelings that don't make sense, and the contradictions you're still figuring out. You don't have to be polished here. Honestly, I'd rather you weren't. I'm not here to judge or shame you. I don't believe there are “good” or “bad” emotions—just emotions that feel comfortable and ones that don't. Bring the anger, jealousy, grief, resentment, relief, uncertainty, and the thoughts you've been afraid to say out loud. I bring laughter into the room! Therapy can be deep, but there is always room for joy and lightness, too. Your body gets a seat in therapy. I'm interested in what happens inside you when you tell your story and what your nervous system might have to say. And I'll be honest: I'm a gentle challenger. I'll support you while also helping you notice patterns, consider new perspectives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that healing happens within relationships. Many of the ways we learn to see ourselves, navigate our emotions, and connect with others are shaped through our early and current relationships and experiences. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and vulnerable—even when the work feels challenging. We'll build a space to explore the parts of yourself that may feel difficult to acknowledge, express emotions you have learned to hold back, and try new ways of relating to yourself and others. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel seen and accepted while also feeling supported and challenged to grow. You don't have to have everything figured out before you arrive. We can begin exactly where you are.
