Being human can feel like a lot sometimes.

A warm, grounded space to talk about what's going on and work through what feels difficult.

You might be here because…

Maybe you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or a little disconnected from yourself. Maybe something has changed and you're not sure how to move forward. Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same patterns and want to understand why, or you're carrying grief, navigating a transition, or just feel like something isn't quite right.

You don't have to know exactly what you need help with. We can figure that out together.

What I can help with

Some of what people bring into our sessions:

  • Anxiety & Overwhelm

  • Depression & Low Mood

  • Identity & Self-Understanding

  • Life Transitions

  • Grief & Loss

  • Relationships & Interpersonal Difficulties

  • Difficult & Painful Experiences

  • Feeling Stuck or Disconnected

This isn't a complete list, and you don't need to see your exact experience on it to reach out.

My approach

There isn't one right way to do therapy. I want our work to feel honest and collaborative, drawing from CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, shaped around what's actually useful for you.

What it's like to work with me

You can expect me to be present, engaged, and honest with you. I want there to be room for reflection, difficult conversations, and the moments when looking at something differently might help.

You get to be human here.

I believe therapy can be a place where you don't have to perform or pretend you're doing better than you are. I bring warmth, curiosity, and honesty to my work, and meet each person with compassion for where they are.
