About

If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in people-pleasing patterns, you may feel exhausted by your own mind and unsure how to slow down and stop over-giving without guilt. You might overthink, over-extend, or ignore your own needs - then wonder why you feel burned out or disconnected from yourself and and others. These patterns were likely ways you learned to protect yourself and survive and I'm here to help you identify root wounds and causes, rebuild self-trust, create healthier balanced relationships, and reconnect with your authentic self underneath. Therapy with me is collaborative and deeply individualized! It's a two way street - I will listen and validate, but I will also offer feedback/guidance! It's important for me to be authentic and real - not just a blank slate. I don't believe in a one size fits all approach - so I will bring various trauma-informed practices according to your needs - insight based talk therapy, somatic exercises, or EMDR if needed.
