A little about how I work.

Have you ever felt the quiet ache of being unseen or unheard by the people closest to you, or found yourself slipping behind a familiar facade to protect the truest parts of who you are? Perhaps you were taught that your needs take up too much space, and over time, you learned to place the expectations from relationships or society above your own, even when it meant setting your voice aside.

 

I believe we all have an innate capacity for healing. But it is when we are met with experiences of anxiety, fear, and loneliness that our safety often feels threatened, and our ability to heal is impeded. The demand for perfection in work, relationships, family, or personal pursuits can leave us burned out and stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. And maybe, in choosing to turn toward therapy now, you’re noticing that staying the same has become more uncomfortable than the risk of change.

 

As a relational and evidence-based therapist, I am driven by connection, ingenuity, and curiosity, which I leverage to provide a unique and tailored approach to care for each client. I help bring awareness to your patterns by using a psychodynamic perspective, and explore the question, “What has shaped us into who we are today?” I also offer tangible tools to bring comfort and stability to your present by drawing from CBT, EMDR, and DBT, helping translate awareness into practical action and change. 

 

Together, we will tackle life’s hurdles at their roots and alleviate your discomfort in the present to help you achieve the lasting and meaningful growth you truly deserve. Let us work together to rewrite your story from one of hopelessness to one of empowerment.
