It’s Time to Put Yourself First!
Your Search for the Right Fit:
You’ve done everything you’re supposed to - you’ve read the self-help books. You’ve tried the breathing techniques, the routines, the late-night Googling. Maybe you’ve talked to your doctor or even tried therapy before. You’ve pushed through, and tried to stay strong—and yet, you still feel stuck. Anxious. Not quite yourself.
Friends may say you seem fine, but inside, you're exhausted from holding it all together. You’re functioning—but just barely. And if you’re honest, you’re tired of surviving when what you truly want is to feel more grounded, more connected, more alive, more you.
And now here you are, scanning another therapist’s website, wondering if this time might be different.
Maybe what you need isn’t more effort—but a softer place to land.
If you’ve landed here, you’re likely searching for someone who truly understands what you’re going through. You might appear to have it all together—capable, dependable, even thriving—while inside, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or have low motivation.
Patterns of over-functioning, perfectionism, or self-doubt can quietly take hold—leaving you feeling tired, disconnected, or as though you're just going through the motions. That’s where this type of therapy differs.
This isn’t surface-level support. We listen carefully and attune to your experience—not just your words, but what’s underneath. Together, we create space for deeper exploration so you can begin to understand yourself with more clarity, compassion, and truth.
Therapy here is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in depth—not quick fixes, but lasting change from the inside out.
A Different Kind of Therapy
When Surviving Isn’t Enough
If you’re considering therapy, you’re likely looking for more than just coping—you’re ready for something deeper. Maybe you feel drained, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite explain. The anxiety, self-doubt, or heaviness you carry may not always show, but it’s there. At times, it might feel like you’re moving through life in a fog—numb, low on motivation, or just not fully present.
You might be longing for a space where you feel understood—where you can reconnect with what you need, make sense of what you’re carrying, and finally exhale.
This kind of therapy is about more than managing symptoms. It’s a place to slow down, explore what’s underneath, and gently shift the patterns that no longer serve you—so you can feel more connected, grounded, and whole.

If you’re longing for something more, you’re in the right place.
My clients are people who carry a lot—responsibility, emotions, or high expectations. Many are caring, conscientious, and the ones others rely on, yet they quietly struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or the constant pressure to keep everything together. Some are high-achievers or deep feelers who have spent years putting others first, sometimes losing sight of their own needs.
If you find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wanting more than just coping—and are ready for real, lasting change and a deeper connection with yourself—you’re in the right place.
You may have spent years pushing your feelings down or powering through, but you deserve a space to set down the burden of always having it together and finally be honest about your anxiety, self-doubt, low motivation, or the weight of old wounds—without judgment or pressure.

I offer a different kind of therapy—one that is trauma-informed, relational, and deeply attuned to your story. I care about what happened to you, how it shaped you, and how it still shows up in your relationships, your self-talk, and your sense of safety.
Therapy with me blends deep emotional reflection with practical support. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies, always tailoring our work to your unique needs. We’ll move at your pace, gently exploring the patterns and protective layers that helped you survive, but now keep you stuck.
This isn’t just about insight—it’s about embodied healing and building a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are.

With a Master’s in Integral Counseling Psychology and advanced training in trauma-informed, relational, and integrative approaches, I offer a therapy experience that blends emotional depth with practical support. My approach is warm, collaborative, and always guided by your pace—not rigid models or surface-level advice.
I work with those who feel weighed down by stress, low motivation, self-doubt, or low self-worth, and help them slow down and tune into themselves. By creating space to truly listen to your own needs and emotions, you can break free from old patterns, build genuine self-worth, and experience greater confidence, clarity, connection, and freedom.
Rooted in Depth + Practical Change:
Therapy with me is integrative and personalized. I draw from relational, psychodynamic, and attachment-based therapies to help us explore the emotional and relational patterns that keep you stuck. When it’s helpful, I weave in cognitive behavioral strategies and other practical tools to support meaningful change in your daily life. Healing is about more than symptom relief—it’s about building a life that feels grounded, authentic, and aligned with your true self.A Relational Lens:
Much of how we experience ourselves is shaped by relationships, both past and present. Whether you grew up feeling emotionally unseen, or you find yourself repeating patterns that leave you feeling small, disconnected, or on edge, we’ll explore those dynamics together with care and curiosity. This work creates opportunities for relief, clarity, and the freedom to move from self-protection to self-trust.You Are More Than a Diagnosis:
I see you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms or a diagnosis to manage. You are complex and capable, having adapted as best you could to what life has asked of you. In therapy, we’ll focus on gently untangling the unconscious patterns, inner conflicts, and long-held beliefs that keep you stuck, so you can begin to relate to yourself with more compassion, intention, and choice.The Power of Relationship:
Healing in therapy isn’t just about the topics we discuss—it’s also about the relationship we build together. I believe meaningful change happens within a safe, consistent, and attuned therapeutic relationship. This space is different from what you may have experienced before: a place where you can feel respected, seen, and truly supported. Over time, this connection becomes a powerful, corrective emotional experience—helping you build healthier relationships not only with others, but most importantly, with yourself.
