About

You are probably here because some version of holding it together has stopped working. I want you to know that noticing this is not failure; it is a beginning. Therapy is my second profession. I spent years in a different field before retraining, and that earlier life gave me lasting respect for how much people carry. The clients I see are often running on empty while still showing up for everyone else. Some tell me, quietly, that getting out of bed now takes more courage than anything else they do all day, and I believe them. We practice living in the present moment, because dread lives in the future and regret lives in the past. I bring both warmth and a level head, so you can fall apart here without being treated as fragile. Kindness sets the temperature of every session I hold. Whenever you feel ready, we can begin gently.
