How I work and what this means for you

I take a holistic approach, looking at how your mind, body, and daily life all connect because they all play a role in how you feel. I work with people navigating relational challenges, trauma, narcissistic abuse, and patterns that show up in family or intimate relationships. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or general feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to help you notice patterns, identify your strengths, and create practical steps that feel doable in your everyday life.

When we meet, you can share whatever is on your mind without worrying about judgment. I’ll listen, reflect, and work alongside you to explore your experiences and figure out what’s holding you back. Together, we might look at past experiences, develop strategies to manage difficult emotions, or practice ways to navigate relationships in a healthier way. My focus is always on helping you feel more empowered, balanced, and confident in yourself.

I aim to make our sessions feel supportive, encouraging, and grounded. I want you to leave feeling lighter, more in control, and ready to take the next steps toward the changes you want to see in your life. I also help you build awareness around your relationships, set boundaries, and reconnect with your own needs so that you can feel safe, supported, and capable of creating lasting change.

Ultimately, I am here to guide, support, and cheer you on. Together, we work toward growth and healing in a way that’s realistic, manageable, and tailored to you so that you can feel more connected to yourself, to others, and to the life you want to create.

Free Consultation

Outside the therapy session.

I’ve been in therapy myself, which has given me a better understanding of what it’s like to work through challenges, navigate emotions, and figure out what works for you. My own experiences, both in therapy and in life, help me relate to the ups and downs you might be going through and bring empathy and real perspective to our sessions.

I grew up dancing and am a big fan of watching sports like golf, hockey, and football. I listen to almost every kind of music and can’t get enough of all things Disney. Fall is my favorite season because of the cozy vibes, and I’m generally super positive and love being part of a team.

I like to work with people in a way that feels easy to connect with. Exploring what’s going on in your life, helping you find balance, and figuring out practical steps to feel better and more in control. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and a little lighter than when you came in.
