About My Clients

Many of my clients come to me feeling alone, unfulfilled, and wanting something different out of their relationships. They are often feeling burnt out, struggling with impulsivity & procrastination, feeling “not good enough,” holding themselves to unrealistic standards, feeling weighed down by what’s happening in the world, repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns again and again, and confused about who they are after spending so much time trying to be something else for other people.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is about more than just learning coping skills. I focus on identifying and tackling the root problem, not just managing symptoms. When we experience trauma or emotionally distressing experiences, our mind and body can get "stuck" there, causing us pervasive distress in the present. I blend experiential and relational therapy interventions with EMDR to tailor therapy to your unique needs and help you get "unstuck." You can expect to be welcomed with warmth, acceptance, and humor. My goal is for you to walk away feeling deeply seen and understood, with new insights to apply to your everyday life outside of therapy. We will work together to establish a collaborative space for self-discovery and growth. Together, we can identify and work through issues and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We will work to reduce the distress you are feeling, so you can be present and engaged as the best version of you.
