What's My Approach to Therapy?

Do you feel like you're doing everything "right," but it’s still not enough? You’re successful, reliable, and good at pushing through, but behind the scenes, you're exhausted. Maybe you find yourself overthinking, holding it all in, or getting stuck in the same reactive patterns with the people who matter most. You want to feel grounded, connected, and more like yourself again. I help adults slow down, unpack what’s really driving the pressure, and start living from self-worth instead of constant proving. We’ll work together to loosen the link between work and worth, set steadier boundaries, and make space for clarity and calm.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent two decades in finance and sales, so I get the pressure from the inside. I’m warm, practical, and honest. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I can challenge them without judgment.

In our work together, we’ll make sense of what’s been overwhelming, and reconnect with the parts of you that learned to survive by staying small, staying strong, or staying in control. As we bring compassion and curiosity to those patterns, you’ll begin to rebuild confidence, self-trust, and a deeper connection to yourself.

My goal isn’t to make you retell every painful memory. It’s to help you find relief in the present — to feel more grounded in your body, more at ease in relationships, and more like yourself. Healing isn’t about erasing what happened; it’s about seeing your story differently, with compassion instead of shame, and learning that you no longer have to protect yourself in all the old ways. Therapy is the space where you can finally bring every part of you — the confident, the uncertain, the exhausted, the resilient — and know that each one is welcome here.

My approach draws from eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), parts work, and a deep understanding of how old patterns form. But this work isn’t just about insight—it’s about creating meaningful change. If you’re ready to feel more at ease in your own life, let’s talk.

My Practice & Services

What if you didn’t have to carry it all alone?

Therapy can be a place to lay some of it down — to understand why you’ve had to be so strong for so long and to start healing the parts of you that learned safety means control or self-sacrifice. Together, we’ll slow things down, listen to what your mind and body have been trying to tell you, and gently untangle the patterns that once helped you survive but now keep you stuck.

You don’t have to keep managing or pretending. In therapy, you can begin to feel safe again — in your own skin, in your relationships, and in the life you’re creating. It’s not about fixing who you are; it’s about remembering who you’ve always been beneath the pressure, the perfectionism, and the pain.
