About My Clients

You may look capable and put together while privately struggling with self doubt, perfectionism or people pleasing. It may be difficult to set boundaries, trust your own decisions or stop questioning whether you’re doing enough. You might also be dealing with ADHD, anxiety or a major change in your life. We can look at what keeps pulling you into these patterns and help you feel more confident in what you need. If you’d like to work with me, you can book a first session through my website.

My Background and Approach

My approach is supportive, collaborative and gently challenging. I’ll give you room to talk openly, including about thoughts or feelings you worry other people may judge. We’ll look at the patterns that are keeping you stuck and where they may be showing up in your relationships, work or the way you see yourself. I draw from CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. The work we do together will depend on what you need. We may focus on setting boundaries, handling difficult emotions or building practical ways to manage executive functioning challenges. We can also look at the expectations you place on yourself and why it can feel so difficult to offer yourself the same understanding you give to other people. Our sessions will be a place to better understand yourself, recognize your strengths and make changes that feel possible in your actual life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I know how isolating it can feel to believe that no one really understands what you’re going through, especially when other people see you as someone who has everything under control. You shouldn’t have to edit yourself in therapy or avoid something because you’re worried about how it will sound. I believe you deserve the same care and compassion you give to other people. For many of my clients, learning to believe that is part of the work. We can take an honest look at what has made it difficult to prioritize yourself and begin finding a healthier balance.
