You don’t have to do it alone anymore.

There are many different reasons that people come to therapy. Some are feeling overwhelmed, scared, or stuck, while others are doing well enough, yet sense that something more is possible. Wherever you find yourself, I am going to meet you right there. I don’t believe therapy should rush you, fix you, or push you past what you’re ready to face. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain or longing to live more fully, therapy is a place to slow down, listen inwardly, and work together to remove the barriers that have kept you from trusting yourself and your own wisdom.

I will honor both your pain and your potential.

The decision to begin a healing process isn’t an easy one. You may feel you’ve been managing perfectly fine, getting by and using many clever strategies to sidestep and avoid the place that hurts. And I respect that; I truly do. We need to be able to go about our lives and there is wisdom in saying no, this isn’t the time or the place. Maybe that’s still true. But at some point you’re likely to find that navigating around this stuff is effort. You’re already doing a lot of work just to avoid it and maybe it’s time to ask: what if I redirected that effort towards actually healing it instead of working around it?

It starts with acknowledging the pain. It just does, there’s no way around it. I don’t push past suffering or try to override it. I meet you in it.

The difference is that you’re no longer alone. Together, we move carefully into the places that feel confusing, frightening, or tender, and begin to listen for what’s needed. I pay close attention to pacing and nervous system safety, to ensure we’re not rushing into anything that would feel overwhelming or destabilizing.

And then, something really wonderful tends to happen. More space opens up and new possibilities emerge. This is because all that energy that you needed to just get by, is now freed up to engage your vitality. 

As our work unfolds, many clients notice a quiet but meaningful shift. They become more curious about themselves and less bound by self-judgment. Narrow ideas about how life or relationships “should” be begin to loosen, and uncertainty feels less threatening—sometimes even exciting. Clients often surprise themselves with a growing sense of bravery: advocating for themselves, naming needs and desires clearly, and letting go of guilt and shame. Pleasure, joy and true intimacy with others become more accessible. Life feels lighter, brighter, and more fully inhabited.

These changes aren’t imposed by me—they emerge as inner barriers soften and your self-trust deepens. Your system already knows how to do this, but I’m here to guide you back to that forgotten knowledge.
