ABOUT ME
I believe therapy works best when it feels human. Thoughtful. Honest. Collaborative. A space where you don’t have to have everything figured out, or carry things alone.
Many of the people I work with are used to being the dependable one, the thoughtful one, the one who keeps going no matter what. Until eventually something begins to feel unsustainable. Anxiety, relationship struggles, loss, identity shifts, burnout or the quiet feeling that something in life just isn’t working anymore.
My goal is to help create a space where we can slow things down together, better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin building a more connected and sustainable way forward.
My Philosophy
In many ways, the work we do together can be boiled down to three simple ideas:
Awareness. Insight. Inspiration.
We begin by developing greater awareness of what’s happening inside your heart and mind. From that awareness, deeper insight begins to emerge: about the patterns you’ve developed, the beliefs you hold about yourself, and the ways you’ve learned to navigate relationships. And with that understanding often comes the inspiration and self-trust to pursue what you want for your life, not just what others expect of you.
My Approach
My approach is informed by attachment theory, parts-based work and psychodynamic theory. Many of the struggles people bring to therapy like self-criticism, anxiety, conflict in relationships, people-pleasing, and difficulty trusting themselves are often rooted in patterns learned earlier in life.
Therapy gives us space to notice those patterns with curiosity and compassion, while beginning to experiment with new ways of relating to ourselves and others.
At times therapy may feel uncomfortable, challenging, or painful, but it can also be a place of creativity, collaboration, humor, spontaneity, and genuine connection where a more authentic version of you begins to take shape.
My Background
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in writing, comedy, and live storytelling. One of the most meaningful experiences during that time has been working with Mortified, a storytelling project built around people sharing their teenage diaries on stage.
Reading thousands of once-private adolescent diaries gave me a front-row seat to the fears, identities, insecurities, hopes, and survival strategies people develop early in life and how those patterns often continue shaping us as adults.
That experience deeply influenced the way I understand therapy. Beneath most anxiety, conflict, shame, or self-criticism is usually a person trying to protect themselves, belong, feel loved, or make sense of who they’re “supposed to be.”
