Individual Psychotherapy
A thoughtful, attuned space to explore what’s holding you back and what wants to emerge.
Psychotherapy is a personal journey toward greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, and emotional freedom with the guidance of a trained and trusted therapist. It’s a space where you can bring the parts of yourself that feel stuck, conflicted, or uncertain—and begin to understand what’s been shaping your inner world and your relationships. On this journey, I meet you with with care, curiosity and respect for your own unique experience.
Many people find profound relief simply from being heard and emotionally held by an attuned therapist who is genuinely invested in their well-being. I listen with an active and engaged mind, paying attention not only to your thoughts and emotions, but also to non-verbal cues that help us understand what may be shaping your struggles. Being in a space where your experience is taken seriously—where you can speak freely about what’s weighing on you—can in itself feel settling and restorative.
Our work, however, goes beyond support alone. Together, we explore how early experiences shaped the coping strategies your mind and body developed to survive—patterns that may have once been protective but now limit ease, confidence, and flexibility. As you share your experiences, I listen to what may lie outside of your conscious awareness and offer reflections and insights that help bring these unconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and relational defenses into awareness so they can be gently explored and loosened. My goal is to help instigate new thinking about your problems and change the way you are relating to yourself and others.
Who and What I Work With
I work with individuals navigating a wide range of issues including life transitions, anxiety, loss, relationship challenges, boundary issues, developmental trauma, complex- PTSD and the ongoing pressures of daily life. I work extensively with attachment trauma, relationship-based anxiety, people pleasing and emotional triggers that show up in parenting, romantic partnerships, and relationships with parents or authority figures.
​
I especially enjoy working with women of all ages who struggle to find their voice, establish healthy boundaries, or access their assertiveness in a way that feels grounded and self-respecting. Much of our work involves gently shedding protective patterns that once served a purpose but now limit growth—making space for a more authentic and vital sense of self to emerge. More recently, I’ve developed a particular interest in supporting women through midlife transitions—exploring issues related to aging, perimenopause, shifting identities.
​​
I work with men who experience blocks to intimacy, anxiety around emotional closeness, or a sense of disconnection in relationships—often despite being thoughtful, capable, and successful in other areas of life. Our work focuses on understanding the patterns and defenses that make vulnerability feel difficult, increasing emotional awareness, and expanding your capacity for authentic connection. I like to move at a pace that feels right to you, with the goal of helping you feel more present, expressive, and fulfilled in your relationships and in your life.
Through insight, emotional processing, and somatic awareness, we work to build new internal experiences of safety, self-trust, and resilience. This work is not only about feeling better in a vacuum, but about facing the difficult truths and confronting the forces that shape who you are and how you live. While this process can feel vulnerable and challenging at times, when done with an emotionally attuned guidance, it often helps settle suffering and opens new ways of relating to yourself and your life with greater perspective and flexibility. We move at a pace that respects your defenses, nervous system and life circumstances while cultivating your inner resources and psychological resilience.
You are at the right place if you want more than just coping strategies. If you feel ready to understand yourself more deeply and create change that feels authentic and lasting; if you’re sensing a desire for growth, clarity, more agency or a fuller way of living, psychotherapy can be a powerful place to begin.

I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation call to see if working together feels like the right fit.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
