Encountering issues, no matter the severity, is a normal and natural part of our lives. However, I believe that our unique life experiences necessitate a personalized approach to help us achieve our goals in the face of adversity. One size does not fit all. Sessions with me are experiential, focusing on developing present-moment awareness of one’s inner and outer world.

You're feeling disappointed that relationships never seem to last past a certain point. As far as you remember, you had a fairly “normal” childhood, but why is it so difficult to get close to others? Relational wounds heal through new experiences of positive relationship, and therapy can be a great place to explore that in a safe and structured way.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you — because you’re not broken. You’re human, and that’s messy enough. Adulting can feel like assembling IKEA furniture without the manual — confusing, frustrating, and somehow missing a crucial piece. Together, we’ll make space to breathe, reflect, and build a life that feels more grounded, more honest, and more like you. No perfection required.
