About
Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. CBT, ACT, EFT... what do all of these acronyms even mean? You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. I believe that by exploring our past unmet wants and needs, we can discover how to meet those needs in the present. In session we might laugh, cry, or even swear at times. What matters most is that you feel comfortable genuinely expressing yourself.
My approach is primarily psychodynamic and attachment-focused. Together we look at how past experiences may have shaped how you see yourself and relate to others today. I also draw on Emotion-Focused Therapy, IFS, CBT, DBT, somatic awareness, and mindfulness-based approaches, weaving them together in a way that actually fits you. I work with what you bring, whether that's your past, your relationships, your body's signals, or the patterns you keep finding yourself in.
I have supported clients navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, BPD, self-esteem, and relationship and sexuality concerns. My focus is on helping you move from feelings of powerlessness toward something that feels more authentic, flexible, and fulfilling. I'm curious about what your anxiety might be trying to tell you, and I'll gently stay with you in the harder moments rather than rush past them.
I'm currently accepting new clients for virtual and in-person sessions on weekday afternoons and evenings. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so feel free to reach out and we can figure out together whether we're a good fit.
