About

You may be someone who has spent years being the “reliable one." Showing up, holding it together, and putting others first, while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and depleted. Many of the people I work with struggle with boundaries, not because they don’t know how to say no, but because saying no feels unsafe. Often, these patterns are connected to earlier experiences where being compliant, agreeable, or emotionally available was necessary for survival or acceptance. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, chronic guilt, people-pleasing, and feeling disconnected from your own needs. My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based. Therapy is a space to slow down, build awareness, and explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while developing practical tools to support emotional regulation, clarity, and balance. My goal is for you to leave sessions with a renewed sense of peace and purpose.
