This isn’t your
Mother’s therapy
i’m here to shake up therapy.
You’re ready for a new approach to therapy.
My approach is real, flexible, and tailored to your evolving story. We explore meaningful insights, not generic advice. I understand the quiet weight that stress, transitions, or inner conflict can bring. Together, we’ll cultivate a compassionate space for reflection and powerful change, focusing on what truly matters to you.
Opening up is hard, and it feels even harder when you feel the need to perform or pretend to have it all together. That’s why I’ve designed this to be a truly different space. It's a genuine space where you can show up, without a script, without filters, in whatever state you're in. Forget stiff, formal sessions; here, we dive into your authentic truth. I want you to show up here as you, unmuted, because here profound transformation unfolds and genuine healing takes root. Every session offers authenticity, accountability, and the opportunity to learn how to thrive alongside life’s challenges. I’m here to stand with you in the mess…then show you how to discover profound meaning within it.
You don't need another place to perform. After over a decade of practice, I know real healing happens when you feel truly safe. This is your warm, judgment-free sanctuary—a space where you can show up unfiltered and real, in whatever state you're in. Forget stiff, formal sessions; here, we gently dive into your authentic truth so you can finally thrive, not just survive.

You don’t need another place to perform.
After over a decade of practice, I know real healing happens when you feel truly safe. This is your warm, judgment-free sanctuary—a space where you can show up unfiltered and real, in whatever state you're in. Forget stiff, formal sessions; here, we gently dive into your authentic truth so you can finally thrive, not just survive.
My approach is reality-based, focused on genuine empowerment and giving you practical skills that work. The relationship we create together is the most powerful tool of all: think of it as your safe, low-stakes rehearsal space. This is where you can practice creating boundaries, speak up your truth, and work through conflicts before you implement them in your actual life. Here, you have the profound opportunity to build, rebuild, and repair your ability to connect with others. Using supportive, action-oriented strategies like Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I'm here to gently guide you as you explore and refine what you need to say, so you leave our sessions feeling ready and confident to advocate for the life you truly want.
Healing often means looking deeper than the surface. For those carrying the weight of past pain, I integrate specialized, gentle trauma methods like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Therapy to help your body and mind process old experiences, allowing you to feel genuinely safe and present in your own skin. Additionally, to help you finally break those persistent cycles, we use insights from Family Systems Therapy and foundational Psychoanalytic principles to understand how past dynamics are impacting your present, giving you the power to consciously choose a healthier, happier way of showing up for yourself.

Strategically understand your role within your original family function and system.
Use inner child work to heal old wounds that drive your current reactions.
