Overview

Maybe you’re here for reasons that are still percolating in your mind. Maybe you’re experiencing relational difficulties or feeling anxious about connection. Perhaps you know you’re overly self-critical. Do you feel like you’re always too much and never enough? How about those life transitions? Those can feel really big.

My work as a therapist is grounded in the principles of the NeuroAffective Relational Model, a trauma-informed approach that helps people understand how early relational experiences shape the way they see themselves, regulate emotions, and connect with others. I help clients explore the patterns that are no longer working.

You’re already here, so let’s focus less on diagnosing what’s “wrong” with you and more on understanding how your experiences have shaped the strategies you’ve developed to navigate the world. Lean on your curiosity and find present-moment awareness, self-compassion, and a clearer sense of who you are and who you are becoming.
