​

With over 15 years of experience as a therapist, I am deeply committed to helping people understand themselves more fully, navigate complex relationships, and build lives that feel more grounded, authentic, and aligned with their values. I know that starting therapy can feel daunting, but it is also a meaningful and courageous step. As a solo practitioner, I offer personalized, attentive care in a space that is thoughtful, warm, and deeply respectful of your lived experience.

​

At the core of my work is empathy, both the empathy I bring into the therapy room and the empathy I help clients develop for themselves. Many people I work with are insightful, capable, and deeply caring, yet have spent years managing emotions, responsibilities, or relationships without feeling fully seen or supported. Therapy offers a place where you do not have to hold it all together.

​

I strive to create a non-judgmental, safe, and welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns openly, including parts of yourself you may have learned to minimize, explain away, or carry quietly for a long time.

​

A Values-Aligned, Client-Led Way of Working

​

My approach is grounded in alignment with your values, not a predetermined idea of what healing, growth, or progress should look like.

​

Clients come to me for many different reasons. Some are navigating complex family relationships, including being adult children of parents who centered their own needs or were emotionally inconsistent. Others are adults with ADHD seeking support with executive functioning, emotional regulation, and relationships. Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, identity shifts, pregnancy, parenting, or major life transitions.

​

Across all of this work, I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach.

​

Some clients want support in creating emotional or physical distance from parents or family members. Others want to maintain relationships that matter to them, but with clearer boundaries, less guilt, and greater emotional protection. Many feel conflicted, holding love, loyalty, anger, grief, and responsibility all at once.

​

I do not push estrangement, and I do not encourage endurance at your own expense. Instead, we work together to clarify:

​

• What you value most in your relationships and your life

• What level of connection feels healthy and sustainable

• Where boundaries are needed for self-protection

• How to respond differently to patterns that no longer serve you

​

Therapy is about helping you make intentional, values-based choices rather than decisions driven by guilt, fear, obligation, or old survival strategies.

​

Empathy, Insight, and Practical Tools

​

Clients often describe me as compassionate, grounded, and knowledgeable, with a strong ability to create a comfortable and emotionally attuned space. I place equal importance on insight and practicality. Therapy with me is not just about understanding why things are the way they are, but about learning how to move forward differently in real life.

​

Depending on your needs, our work may include:

• Understanding how early relationships shaped your nervous system and sense of self

• Separating responsibility from guilt and emotional overfunctioning

• Learning concrete boundary-setting and communication skills

• Supporting executive functioning, emotional regulation, and self-acceptance in ADHD

• Improving relationship patterns and capacity for connection

• Processing shame, grief, or long-standing self-doubt

• Navigating life transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting

• ​

Throughout this process, empathy remains central, not as a reason to override yourself, but as a way to respond to your experience with clarity, balance, and care.

​

Moving Forward on Your Terms

Healing is not about blaming the past or forcing change in others. It is about reclaiming agency, building emotional steadiness, and learning to trust yourself. Whether your goals involve deeper connection, clearer boundaries, greater distance, or simply more peace inside yourself, therapy can help you move forward with intention and self-respect.

​

You do not have to choose between honoring your values and honoring yourself. My role is to help you do both, on your terms.
