Sometimes the thing you need most isn’t a new idea but permission to feel what’s already there. I help you notice that feeling, stay with it, and find a clearer way forward.
How I work and what you can expect:
Therapy with me is affirming, explorative and engaging. I value being mindful of the body because feelings often arrive before words. Together, we’ll notice, name and make room for the parts of you that feel stuck, but are eager to heal, grow and expand.
Over the past few years, I’ve met with a wide range of people. Teenagers, Gen Z and millennial adults and couples, and families with adult children. I have a soft spot for teenagers finding their voice and learning to advocate for themselves, young adults wrestling with existential questions about faith and identity, and individuals and couples who feel disconnected and overwhelmed by the weight of modern life.
The goal isn’t just to change your relationship with your emotions, it’s to connect more genuinely with others and to live with more ease and meaning. Movement matters! I’ll help you explore your relationships, emotions, and connection with your body in order to help you slowly build toward a life that you feel proud of and that energizes you. You have a unique life to live and my hope is that working together will help you more mindfully take ownership of your life. Progress isn’t always tidy or fast, but when you begin to move differently in small, consistent ways, there is an overflow of meaningful change.
If you come for help with overwhelm, unpleasant relationship patterns, questions around faith and identity, or the quiet weight of being alone, expect steadiness, curiosity and real engagement. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling grounded, refreshed, and more like you — proud that you have done something both courageous and kind for yourself.
