Our Story
My journey to becoming a therapist began in a moment of my own fear. When my child experienced their first mental health challenge, I felt tossed by a sudden storm. While I was grateful to find help for my child, as a parent, I felt lost at sea—searching for a steady hand to hold while I navigated the waves.
I went back to school to become that steady hand for others. I built this practice to be the sanctuary I wish I had found—bridging the gap between 'clinical expert' and 'fellow human' so you feel truly seen.
Why Work With Me?
Therapy here is not a clinical transaction; it is a partnership in navigation. I offer a holistic approach that honors your unique journey. I believe you are the captain of your life, and I am here to help you read the compass and find your way back to your center.
What to Expect
The Vibe: A quiet, judgment-free anchorage. Warm, creative, and safe.
The Start: We spend the first few sessions simply dropping anchor—creating space to hear your story and understand the currents pushing against you.
The Goal: We chart a practical course, designing steps specifically for you to reach the calm waters you deserve.
You don't have to face the waves alone. Let’s find your calm. Let’s talk.
Therapeutic Presence:
Being Seen, Without the Storm
This is a space where you can lower your guard. We move beyond surface-level coping to gently explore what lies underneath the armor you have built. Our work is grounded in the belief that you do not need to be "corrected"—you need to be understood.
Rather than fighting against your feelings, we treat them as a compass pointing toward what you need. Together, we create a judgment-free zone to explore that direction, allowing your natural sense of self-trust to emerge in its own time.
We take a gentle, collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are and moving at a pace that feels safe for you. We do not believe in rigid formulas or forcing you into a pre-charted course. Instead, our sessions are shaped around your unique journey and what you need in the moment.
This is a harbor where complexity is welcome. You can bring the parts of yourself that feel messy, contradictory, or unfinished, knowing they will be met with steadiness and care. Here, you don’t have to "make sense" right away—you just have to be present.
Trauma-Informed Care: Prioritizing your safety and stability first.
Relational & Attachment Therapy: Healing through secure, trusting connection.
Somatic Practices: Listening to the wisdom of your body.
Reflective Insight: Gently uncovering the deeper meaning in your story.
Thoughtful Care: Anchored in Safety & Connection
Intentional Practice: Navigating the Changing Tides
Just as the ocean is never static, neither are you. As you grow and your needs shift, our work adapts with you—whether you are navigating the exhaustion of burnout, the waves of a major life transition, or the deep waters of trauma and identity.
Our role is not to captain your ship, but to walk the deck alongside you. We help you reconnect with your own internal compass, empowering you to make choices rooted in resilience and self-understanding. We believe that true lasting change happens not through pressure, but through presence—and offering that steady presence is our highest priority.
A Gentle Voyage Toward Meaningful Change.
Healing isn't a race to the finish line. It is a voyage that unfolds at your own natural pace. We move forward only when you feel safe, supported, and ready—adapting the journey to you, not the other way around.
