Being a young woman is not easy.

Between the endless responsibilities, unrealistic expectations, pressure to compare yourself to others, and the feeling that you should somehow have it all figured out, life can feel overwhelming. Maybe your mind never seems to quiet down, your inner critic has a lot to say, or you find yourself constantly trying to do more, be better, and keep everyone else happy while putting your own needs last.

And when you’ve also experienced difficult or traumatic experiences growing up, like emotional neglect, abuse, or having emotionally immature parents, these patterns can run even deeper. You might find yourself overthinking everything, struggling with perfectionism or people pleasing, feeling disconnected from yourself, experiencing ongoing stress or physical symptoms, harsh negative self-talk (there’s that b*tchy inner critic again!), or finding yourself stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. These patterns helped you survive those difficult experiences. As an adult, you may know these patterns aren’t helping you anymore, but changing them can feel easier said than done.

The good news? You can overcome these challenges with support!

As a therapist, I understand how exhausting it can be to navigate anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the lasting effects of a difficult past. Along with my clinical and educational experiences, my personal experiences with these struggles, along with my personal growth and therapy journey, have shaped the way I show up for my clients. I know how important it is to feel understood, accepted, and supported without worrying about being judged or having to be someone you’re not.

My approach to therapy is conversational, collaborative, and authentic. Think of it as a space where you can show up as your whole self, talk openly about what’s going on beneath the surface, and begin to make sense of the patterns that have followed you through life. Using approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and compassion-focused therapy, we’ll work together to process past experiences, understand the parts of you that are trying so hard to keep you safe, and build a kinder relationship with yourself.

You don’t have to spend the rest of your life stuck in your head, being your own harshest critic, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness. You deserve to feel more at ease in your own mind, more confident in who you are, and more connected to yourself and the people you care about.

You’ve spent enough time trying to hold it all together. Let’s work toward a life where you can feel more like yourself.

My Approach to Our Work

My therapy style is relaxed, conversational, and collaborative with use of humor. I love to help you learn, grow, and heal.

I don’t believe in finding the “best version” of yourself, but I do believe in helping you accept all parts of yourself, heal past wounds, and uncover the version of yourself you were always meant to be.

I use a variety of techniques and approaches including:

• Cognitive techniques

• Mindfulness & grounding techniques

• Self-compassion

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts work

• EMDR & other somatic (body-based) therapies

• Person-centered (you lead and I’m there to guide and support you!)

• Strength-based

• Walk and talk sessions

On the personal side, I am kind, down to earth, and understanding. I love to laugh, travel, and do outdoor activities (Jamaica and kayaking are my favorites!).
