Your mind never fully powers down. You find yourself overthinking small interactions, second-guessing decisions, or feeling on edge even when things appear fine. At times, you may feel numb or disconnected, like you don’t recognize yourself or how you got here. You carry the weight of expectations, life transitions, or pressure to have everything figured out. Part of you wants something different, while another part feels tired, unsure, or doesn’t know where to begin. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, relational wounds, trauma, or the impact of environments where they had to override their own needs to survive. Many describe themselves as deep thinkers and feelers who learned to adapt, push through, and do what was necessary only to lose contact with themselves along the way.

Building a renewed relationship with yourself is work I care a lot about. I can help you slow down, tune back in, and better understand yourself in a more honest and compassionate way. Together, we’ll explore what’s not working, and incorporate personalized strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity and intention. We might talk about shame, relationships, boundaries, and the stories you’ve inherited. We may write letters you never send, untangle patterns you did or didn’t choose, or incorporate behaviors and responses that feel more aligned with who you are. I draw from various evidence-based modalities, which is a fancy way of saying a lot of the stuff we do is backed by research with proven results. More than anything, I seek to create a space where you can exhale: ask the weird questions, cry, grieve, laugh, or sit in silence if needed. Wherever you are, I seek to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate whatever challenges you are facing.

Outside of work, I’m a creative, wife, musician, hiker, snowboarder, and foodie with lots of hobbies and too many plants. I’m also someone who understands how hard and complex it can be to walk away from systems that once defined your life. Feel free to reach out to see if we’re a good fit. If not, thanks for reading! I wish you well and trust you’ll find what feels right for you.
