Hi there
I believe that everyone deserves to feel comfortable being themselves.
I am passionate about helping people who have spent too much of their lives questioning themselves, shrinking themselves, masking who they are, or listening to the loud inner voice telling them they aren't good enough.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, relationships, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a space to slow down, get curious, and figure out what you actually need.
I specialize in helping people strengthen their sense of self—because the relationship you have with yourself impacts everything else.
That may mean exploring self-talk, self-worth, self-care, identity, boundaries, or the ways anxiety and depression have made it difficult to recognize yourself.
Together, we'll work on challenging that loud, irrational voice in your head and learning when to say:
"Stop. Not today."
Therapy With Me
My approach is collaborative, laid-back, and direct.
You are the expert on your own life. I'm not here to tell you who you should be, what choices you should make, or what your life is supposed to look like.
I'm here to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be holding you back, challenge thoughts that aren't serving you, and build the confidence to make decisions that align with your values.
I'll meet you where you are and walk alongside you from there.
My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling more hopeful, more empowered, and more connected to yourself.
And sometimes, therapy is serious work.
Other times, we're going to laugh.
Probably both.
I Have a Particular Passion for Supporting Women
Women are often expected to be everything to everyone.
To be caring, capable, productive, organized, accommodating, and emotionally available—while somehow making it all look effortless.
And when things become too much? Many women are quick to blame themselves.
I am passionate about helping women untangle those expectations and reconnect with who they are outside of the roles they have been expected to fill.
Therapy can be a space to ask:
What do I want?
What do I need?
Who am I when I'm not taking care of everyone else?
Together, we can work on boundaries, self-worth, anxiety, relationships, identity, and learning how to take up space without constantly apologizing for it.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
You deserve to be fully yourself in therapy.
My office is a space where LGBTQIA+ individuals can show up without having to explain, defend, minimize, or hide who they are.
Whether you are exploring your identity, navigating relationships or family dynamics, considering coming out, or simply looking for a therapist who will see and affirm you for who you are—you are welcome here.
Your identity can absolutely be part of our work together.
Or it can just be one part of who you are.
You get to decide.
I am committed to providing therapy that is affirming, respectful, and free from judgment or prejudice.
You don't have to make yourself smaller here.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
I also have a deep passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals.
Many neurodivergent people have spent years feeling misunderstood or being told they are "too much," "too sensitive," "lazy," or that they simply need to try harder.
Maybe you've spent years masking.
Maybe you're exhausted from trying to meet expectations that don't work for your brain.
Maybe you're beginning to understand yourself differently after learning about ADHD, autism, or neurodivergence.
Or maybe you're just tired of feeling like you're constantly failing at things that seem easy for everyone else.
You are not broken.
You don't need to become more neurotypical to deserve a life that works for you.
In therapy, we can explore your experiences, identify your strengths and needs, and find ways to work with your brain rather than constantly fighting against it.
You don't need to sit still.
You don't have to make eye contact.
You don't need to perform therapy correctly.
You get to be yourself here.
What I Hope You Take Away From Therapy
When clients begin to feel better, the changes aren't always dramatic at first.
Sometimes their thoughts feel a little clearer.
Their inner critic gets a little quieter.
They start trusting themselves again.
And then those small shifts can turn into bigger ones.
I've watched people gain confidence, build meaningful friendships, apply for jobs they once believed they weren't qualified for, set boundaries, leave unhealthy situations, and come out to people they love.
Those are powerful moments.
But they aren't about becoming a different person.
They're about becoming more comfortable being who you already are.
I believe everyone deserves to feel their feelings, take up space, and live authentically.
Anxiety, depression, negative self-beliefs, and other people's expectations shouldn't get to decide the direction of your life.
My job isn't to walk the path for you.
But if you're ready, I'll walk alongside you while you figure out where you want to go.
A Little About My Style
My clients often describe me as laid-back, direct, and easy to talk to.
My office is a space for real conversations.
There is no judgment here. No need to have everything figured out. No pressure to be perfect.
You can laugh. You can cry. You can swear. You can sit on the floor.
You can show up exactly as you are.
Because I believe there is a version of you underneath all of the anxiety, self-doubt, expectations, and negative beliefs.
And I believe that person deserves to take up space.
If you're ready to quiet the inner critic, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that feels more like your own, I'm here.
And I believe in you.
