What's My Approach to Therapy?

I work with clients ages 12 and up—adolescents, teens, and adults—navigating ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, addiction, codependency, body image issues, and low self-esteem. Many grow up feeling “too much,” scattered, or like they missed a rule everyone else learned. These experiences can lead to shrinking yourself, overworking, or overthinking just to feel okay. Over time, this can turn into toxic shame—the belief that something is wrong with you.

I offer trauma- and shame-informed therapy for challenges connected to toxic shame. Using insight-oriented therapy to uncover patterns, increase self-awareness, and explore emotions; alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to shift thoughts and behaviors; I help clients build self-compassion and lasting change.

Whether for yourself or your child, reaching out for support is a brave and meaningful step. If this feels like the right fit, I welcome you to connect so we can begin creating a space for growth, understanding, and self-compassion. The best way to reach me is via email and text.
