I work with people who feel stuck in their current way of operating, even when they know something needs to shift. You may be curious about your needs, patterns, or what keeps you from feeling more like yourself. You might be navigating perfectionism, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges. I believe therapy is a place to be curious without judgment. I’m compassionate, gentle, and direct, and I bring humor into the room. Together, we’ll understand your patterns, what keeps you stuck, and work toward feeling more grounded, flexible, and connected to yourself.

My approach is collaborative, client-led, and relational. Drawing from CBT, attachment and compassion-focused therapy, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and relationships interact. Together, we’ll gently loosen what feels stuck, build practical tools, and develop more flexibility and self-compassion so you can move toward how you want to live.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to figuring things out on your own or aren’t sure what you need yet. You don’t need to have it all figured out. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, we can slow down, get curious, and start where you are, at a pace that feels manageable.
