My Approach to Helping

Are you functioning well on the surface but struggling with feelings of being too much, too sensitive, or misunderstood? Are existential concerns or a significant life transition proving difficult to manage on your own? Does a sense of constant overwhelm linger in the background of your life? Whether you're grappling with anxiety, loss, navigating a new chapter in life, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I am here to support you. Together, we can work towards personal growth and mental well-being, addressing your unique needs and goals.

My therapeutic work draws on relational, existential, somatic, and systemic approaches, serving as guiding principles rather than rigid frameworks. Central to my practice is the cultivation of a strong therapeutic alliance and the creation of an accepting, warm, and non-pathologizing environment for profound personal exploration. I value collaboration with my clients to deliver the most effective support possible. Through a holistic approach, our sessions will focus on enhancing self-understanding, help you better understand your patterns, and strengthen emotional agility.

Ultimately, my goal is for you to feel at ease being your authentic self during our work together. I encourage you to do what brings you comfort and facilitates open expression during our sessions. Your well-being and comfort are my top priorities. Seeking therapy takes courage, and I would love to connect with you! Message me to set up a 20-minute consultation.

More Info About My Practice

My hope is our work will help you feel more at peace with yourself, find joy in the everyday moments, and develop the inner trust to navigate life’s highs, lows, and everything in between. I primarily work with adults and have a specialized focus in anxiety, overwhelm, life transitions, adult ADHD, trauma, and serving the LGBTQIA+ community. I also believe that advocacy is an essential part of mental health treatment. I also work through a systemic lens and wholeheartedly embrace a body acceptance, body neutrality and Health at Every Size approach.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I understand the feeling of being stuck and yearning for more in life. I have personally experienced the weight of my past and the disconnection from my true self. I empathize with the challenges of change and the discomfort that can arise from challenging internalized beliefs and confronting life's difficulties.

During my early life, I struggled with people-pleasing and conforming to others' expectations, facing limiting beliefs, trauma, and self-esteem issues. Therapy became a powerful tool for self-acceptance and transformation.

Having benefited from therapy myself, I am passionate about guiding others on their journey of self-discovery. I have witnessed firsthand the profound changes that can occur within a supportive therapeutic relationship, fostering curiosity and growth.
