Work With Me

​

Life is messy, and you may struggle with depression, anxiety, internal conflict, or the effects of unresolved trauma. Grief and loss, painful relationship patterns, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences can create complexity and pain. Emotional regulation can be difficult, and shame and unhealthy coping strategies can feel overwhelming.

​

Many of us learned to survive by criticizing ourselves, ignoring our needs, staying small, or believing we had to earn love and acceptance. Those strategies may have protected us once, but they can eventually become the very things that keep us stuck.

​

My work isn't about fixing you. It's about helping you understand why you adapted the way you did and creating enough safety and self-compassion that you can begin responding differently. Together, we'll gently explore the different parts of you—perhaps the wounded child, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser, or the protector—with curiosity instead of judgment. As these parts feel seen and understood, they may no longer have to work so hard to protect you.

​

Using a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped you—including childhood wounds, grief, relationship patterns, shame, and the beliefs you've come to hold about yourself. We'll cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-compassion while developing practical tools to help you respond to yourself with understanding rather than criticism.

​

My style is warm, relational, and trauma-informed, with plenty of room for curiosity, authenticity, and yes—a little irreverence at times. Healing is hard work, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh together along the way.

Ultimately, you are the expert on your own life, which means our work is built on collaboration. I bring clinical knowledge, compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your lived experience. Together, we'll make sense of your story, build on your strengths, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.

My hope is that you'll leave therapy with greater self-understanding, practical tools, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
