About

When you're feeling scared, feeling afraid, feeling angry, or feeling frustrated, those signals deserve to be taken seriously rather than soothed away. I'll help you stay with what's coming up long enough to understand what it's pointing at. A lot of the people I work with arrive feeling sad or feeling unhappy in a way that's hard to name. Sometimes the days feel empty or numb, and even getting to a session feels like effort. We start small and build from there, with no expectation that you arrive ready. Some people come in feeling stuck, feeling lost, or feeling disconnected from a life that, on paper, looks fine. We work to surface what's actually missing and to make the next step feel less impossible. I draw on evidence-based modalities, but I'm not married to any single framework. The best therapy meets you where you are, and that means staying flexible about what tools we reach for as the work unfolds.
