About

You’re the one people rely on—responsible, dependable and attentive. On the outside, you appear composed and capable, but just beneath the surface there is anxiety, an expectation for perfection, and a relentless inner critic. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by unspoken family expectations, caring for everyone else’s needs, striving for achievement, or believing others judge you as harshly as you judge yourself. If this resonates, you’re not alone. Many thoughtful, caring, accomplished and resilient people find themselves living this way until something tells them it’s time for a change. Through our work, you’ll learn to reconnect with yourself, adjust patterns and embrace self-compassion to live more peacefully. My style is empathetic, collaborative and holistic, drawing from psychodynamic and attachment theories, CBT, IFS-informed parts work, mindfulness, somatic practices, and sound-based meditation to nurture your mind, body & soul.
