I know the weight of this work because I’ve carried it, too.

i understand how easy it is to slip into autopilot—pushing through exhaustion when your body protests, blurring the lines between work and home life, and even feeling like you’ve lost touch with your own self. The constant pressure to keep showing up for everyone else can leave you disconnected from your own needs, your loved ones, and your sense of purpose.

How we’ll work together

Helping you see your resilience more clearly.

I believe you already possess the strengths you need to move forward—sometimes they’re just harder to see when you’re worn down. My role isn’t to tell you who you are or wave a magic wand that makes your problems go away. I am here to help you get in touch with the wisdom and values that are already inside you. Together, we’ll make space to reflect, explore where you feel stuck, and highlight the resources you can lean on as you start making real changes. I’ll be the mirror showing you the good qualities you can’t see on your own right now.

Therapy with me is…

  • You’re the expert on your own life, and your voice belongs at the center of this work. In our sessions, I’ll check in often about what feels helpful and what doesn’t. I recognize that your time is precious, and I want every moment we spend together to matter. This is your space, designed to reflect your goals, your pace, and your priorities, so we’ll shape the process together. 

  • You’ll always know you’re stepping into a space where you’re treated with respect, care, and honesty. I hold myself to a high standard of professionalism while also showing up authentically. I want to connect with you human to human. My goal is that you feel safe enough to bring your full self into the room, without fear of judgment.

  • When work or life pulls you off course, it’s easy to lose touch with the things that once felt meaningful. Our work will help you return to those touchstones—your values, your relationships, your creativity, your “why.” By coming back to what matters most, you can feel more grounded in who you are, both inside and outside of work.
