​​

With over 15 years of experience as a therapist, I help clients gain self-understanding, manage relationships, and build authentic lives. Starting therapy can feel daunting, but it is a courageous and meaningful choice. As a solo practitioner, I provide personalized care in a warm, respectful environment.

​

Empathy guides my work, both in supporting clients and fostering self-empathy. Many clients are thoughtful and caring, yet have managed emotions and responsibilities alone for years. In therapy, you do not have to carry everything alone.

​

My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, including those you may have kept hidden or minimized.

​

A Values-Aligned, Client-Led Way of Working​

​

My approach prioritizes your values, not a predetermined idea of healing or progress.

​

Clients seek support for many reasons. Some are navigating complex family relationships, such as being adult children of self-focused or emotionally unpredictable parents. Others are adults with ADHD seeking help with focus, executive functioning, emotions, and relationships. Many address anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, identity changes, pregnancy, parenting, or major life transitions.

​

I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. Some clients seek support in creating distance from family members. Others wish to maintain important relationships with better boundaries, less guilt, and greater emotional safety. Many feel conflicted, experiencing love, loyalty, anger, grief, and responsibility simultaneously.​

​

I do not encourage estrangement, nor will I suggest you remain in harmful situations. Instead, we work together to determine:

​

• 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 supports intentional, values-based choices rather than decisions driven by guilt, fear, obligation, or old survival patterns.

​

Empathy, Insight, and Practical Tools​

​

Clients describe me as compassionate, grounded, and knowledgeable, and note that I create a comfortable, emotionally attuned environment. I value both insight and practical strategies. Therapy with me focuses on understanding your experiences and developing ways to move forward in daily 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 over functioning

• 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. Its purpose is not to override your needs, but to help you respond to your experiences with clarity, balance, and care.

​

Moving Forward on Your Terms

Healing is not about blaming the past or changing others. It is about regaining control, building emotional strength, and learning to trust yourself. Whether you seek closer relationships, better boundaries, more distance, or greater peace, therapy can help you move forward with purpose and self-respect.

​

You do not have to choose You do not have to choose between honoring your values and honoring yourself. My role is to help you achieve both in the way that works best for you
