I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating. You may have spent a long time being the strong one, holding everything together for everyone else, while quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. My hope is that from the moment you land here, you feel a sense of relief and maybe even a little less alone.

I work with individuals and couples who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and relationship pain. Many of my clients are thoughtful, successful, and deeply caring people who feel stuck in patterns of self sacrifice, over responsibility, or emotional shutdown. They often find themselves wondering why things feel so hard when they are doing everything they can.

If you’re looking for a therapist who can create a safe space while also being direct, challenging patterns of perfectionism and self-sacrifice that leave you feeling depleted, and helping you live the life you desire, you’re in the right place. Relationships are at the core of who we are, shaping how we see ourselves and connect with the world. However, our early experiences can often leave us feeling isolated, anxious, or even defeated, making it hard to maintain these vital relationships.

You may feel like you’re carrying the weight of your family’s expectations, struggling to communicate your needs to your partner, grappling with betrayal, or considering divorce. It can be exhausting to navigate these complexities on your own.

Here’s the hope: We can change this narrative together.

Research shows that the power of safe, supportive relationships can help us rewrite our stories. In our sessions, I create a space where you can explore your feelings and experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll examine your past, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop a plan tailored to your needs.

Change is possible!

You deserve to break free from the cycles that leave you feeling stuck. Imagine being able to express your feelings without fear of judgment, to set boundaries that protect your peace, and to cultivate relationships that nourish your soul. I’ll be your listening ear, gentle guide, and emotional support as we navigate this journey.

As we work together, you’ll learn to embrace self-love and empathy, opening the door to deeper, more meaningful connections with the people you care about. My approach recognizes that while this journey may not be easy, it’s filled with growth, strength, and the possibility of joy.

Let’s take this journey together—one where you can regain your sense of self, foster healthier relationships, and ultimately create a life filled with love and connection.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and see if we can create a partnership that fosters healing, connection, and the joyful relationships you deserve.
