About

My ideal client? Someone who’s open to growth—even if they’re showing up like, “I don’t know… but I know this ain’t it.” Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t clock out, depression that feels like a weighted blanket you didn’t ask for, or a life transition that flipped your world upside down. What you really need isn’t someone judging you or throwing inspirational quotes at you—it’s a safe space where you can ugly-cry, overthink out loud, or say the quiet parts without fear. Think: no side-eye, no shame, just empathy, compassion, and someone actually listening (not just waiting for their turn to talk). I pull from tools like CBT (helping you catch and challenge those “my brain is wildin’” thoughts), EMDR (for when your past keeps popping up like unskippable ads), and Psychodynamic therapy (connecting the dots between “where did that come from?” and “ohhh, that makes sense now”). My style is person-centered which simply means that I meet you where you are.
