Who I See and How I Work
Who I see: I work with people who keep thinking, “Life shouldn’t be this hard,” the ones who keep replaying conversations in their head, checking if they said something wrong. Who struggle to be authentic in their relationships because they’re scared they’ll be judged or left out.
Maybe you’re always “on,” keeping everything together for everyone else, and at the end of the day there’s nothing left for you. You might notice unhealthy patterns repeating, or old experiences that keep poking their head up and interfering in your relationships. Even the smaller, everyday pressures can slowly pile up until life feels impossible to tackle. Some of my clients feel like they’ve drifted away from who they used to be, the parts that laughed easily, got excited about the small things, or just felt like… themselves. Others are desperate to stop living for other people’s approval, to finally feel like they’re enough without having to earn it. If any of this sounds like you, I can help.
How I work: We’ll collaborate to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, what’s holding you back, and what’s keeping you up at night. I’ll always stay curious, helping give a voice to what you may have struggled to put into words. We’ll work well together if you’re looking for a genuine, human relationship with your therapist and want someone who is warm, laid-back, direct, and willing to challenge you when needed. You won’t find perfection here, just a human being who shows up fully (awkward parts and all) and knows how messy life can be.
A bit about me personally:
My journey to becoming a therapist began in 2018. I was feeling hopeless, in a job I hated, and honestly felt like I had no idea what I was doing with my life. I decided that therapy might be the answer, and the change it brought to my life was incredible. I worked through old patterns that were holding me back and finally felt like I had some control over my life again. I found the motivation to leave my job and train as a therapist myself, and I haven’t looked back. I believe the opportunity to be a therapist is a privilege, and find real joy in helping people live better. When I’m not in sessions, you’ll likely find me watching true crime documentaries, experimenting in the kitchen (sometimes successfully), or hanging out with my cat, Iggy.
