Do you feel adrift, stuck, or struggling to move toward the life you want? Navigating life’s challenges can often leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves. I’m here to help, whether you’re grappling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, a significant life transition, challenges in your relationships, complex family dynamics, or wanting to work through the impact of trauma. I can offer a space to freely express and explore and work through your thoughts and emotions. This self-awareness and self-acceptance will allow you to tap into your potential to confidently face life's obstacles.
Therapy is a collaborative and deeply personal process. In our sessions, we’ll take the time to understand who you are and what you have been through, working at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we’ll work to uncover the root causes of your struggles, and help you develop a stronger sense of self and purpose.
I’m committed to honoring your goals and I welcome working with queer and gender-expansive populations. My practice is primarily psychodynamic in nature, non-judgemental, and rooted in respect for one’s identities and beliefs. While starting therapy can feel like a plunge into a sea of unknowns, you’re not alone. I look forward to jumping alongside you.
