Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.

You may be someone who usually handles things well. You are responsible, capable, and used to figuring things out—but relationships can bring up reactions that are much harder to manage.
I work with adults who find themselves overthinking conversations, struggling with boundaries, questioning their decisions, repeating painful relationship patterns, or feeling stuck between what they want and what others expect from them.
With over 10 years of experience, I offer a warm, direct, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I will listen carefully, but I will also ask questions, notice patterns, and help you understand what keeps getting in the way of the relationships and life you want.

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile, and congratulations on taking the first steps in trying to find the right therapist for you!
