Your perspective matters

You may have received the message that your feelings, wants, or experiences don’t matter.

Perhaps you’ve been told to be the "bigger person" or to be "less sensitive." So, you push your own needs down, directing all your energy into someone who was supposed to protect and care for you.

You might find yourself stuck in the "If-onlys":

  • If only I were better, smarter, or stronger...

  • If only I tried harder or prayed more...

Your body is keeping score. Your muscles are tight, your shoulders are hunched, your breath is shallow, and your mind is racing. You feel completely overwhelmed—either frozen in place or unable to slow down.

The truth is, making yourself small never actually made you feel safe.

Moving Beyond the Labels

There is a lot of noise out there. Searching for answers on TikTok or YouTube might leave you wondering if the problem is ADHD, OCD, PTSD, or a relationship with a narcissist.

But you don’t need internet algorithms—you need an individualized approach. It is time to work with a professional who can help you tease out exactly what is going on based on your unique life experience.

My Goal for Our Work Together

I am here to help you find your footing and chart a clear path forward. Together, we will work toward:

  • Comfort in your own skin.

  • Grounding under your own feet.

  • Ease of mind that comes from clarity in your own thoughts, wants, and values.

  • Confidence to rock steady in your own unique strengths.

Let's start moving forward. Call me today, and let me help.

I am a seasoned, second-career psychotherapist who has been providing licensed clinical therapy since 2015. My roots in this work run even deeper, stretching back to my days as a clinic caseworker and undergrad intern. Over the years, I have dedicated my practice to helping clients break free from the barriers that keep them stuck, exhausted, and overwhelmed.

Choosing therapy as a second career means I bring a wealth of real-world life experience to our sessions. I know that as we heal, learning how to truly be ourselves can feel like a complete mystery. You might not even know who you are outside of meeting everyone else's expectations.

We will collaborate to navigate that mystery together. Using therapeutic approaches focused on meaning-making, we will explore your story, untangle old patterns, and help you build a life that feels authentic and deeply purposeful to you.
