What's My Approach to Therapy?

Many of the people who find their way to me are carrying far more than anyone around them realizes. You may be doing your best to hold everything together on the outside, while privately wrestling with anxiety, self-doubt, painful memories, or patterns you can’t seem to break, no matter how hard you try.

If you’re tired of just coping and want support as you explore the possibility of more relief, clarity, or freedom in your life, you’re in the right place.

In our work together, I show up as a real human being—grounded, steady, and warm. I’m not here to judge or pick you apart. I’m here to sit beside you, listen deeply, and help your nervous system do what it naturally knows how to do: heal, process, and release what’s been overwhelming.

My style blends intuition with structure.
I help clients slow down, stay present, and build stability from the inside out. My intention is to meet you where you are, offering collaboration and care, rather than detached analysis. I offer clarity, thoughtful reflection, and a gentle ability to notice what matters, even when it’s hard to put into words. Expect curiosity, compassion, and, when it’s helpful, honest insight that supports your growth.

A core part of how I work is through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-informed therapy used to support the brain in processing experiences that felt too big, or too fast, at the time they happened. We begin by building safety and resources, identify what feels stuck, and then use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to work with the emotional weight you’ve been carrying. Many clients find themselves gaining insight, developing emotional regulation skills, and reconnecting with self-trust.

Healing isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about meeting yourself where you are, and finally letting go of what no longer belongs in your present. When you’re ready to take that journey, I’d be honored to walk with you.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

It makes sense to hesitate. Reaching out for support can feel unfamiliar, vulnerable, or even overwhelming, especially when you're used to handling everything on your own.

Therapy isn't about being 'broken' or needing someone else to fix your life. It's a space where you can pause, catch your breath, and explore what's happening inside you with someone trained to listen and walk alongside you. You don't have to have the right words, a diagnosis, or a fully formed plan to begin.

Some people come to therapy looking for clarity. Others are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, or memories that still feel heavy. Many are simply curious about what might shift if they had a safe, supportive place to land.

Wherever you find yourself, you're welcome to go at your own pace.
Therapy doesn't need to be a lifelong commitment, sometimes a few sessions can offer perspective, and sometimes the work unfolds more slowly. You get to decide what feels right.

If you're wondering whether now is the time, we can explore that together.
There's no pressure, only an invitation to take the next step when you're ready.
