Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical.
You can laugh in therapy. You can swear. You can show up not knowing what you want to talk about. You can say, "I don't know," twenty times.
We can slow things down, get curious about patterns, build some practical tools, and figure things out together.
No perfect answers required.
What therapy with me actually feels like
A little science. A lot of humanity.
Therapy with me isn’t about following a formula or trying to “fix” you. It’s about getting curious about what’s happening beneath the surface; where certain patterns came from, how they may have helped you along the way, and whether they’re still working for you now.
My approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in compassion. I pull from CBT, mindfulness-based self-compassion, client-centered therapy, and attachment-informed care, while recognizing that no two brains, histories, or experiences are the same. Rather than asking you to fit into a particular therapeutic approach, we’ll figure out what actually works for you.
A lot of my work also involves exploring shame, guilt, and the stories we tell ourselves. Together, we can get curious about where those stories came from and begin separating who you are from the expectations, experiences, and self-criticism that may have shaped how you see yourself.
In our sessions, that might mean noticing thought patterns that keep you stuck, understanding your nervous system, exploring how past experiences and relationships show up in the present, finding strategies that work with your brain instead of against it, or practicing a little more compassion toward yourself.
There’s room for practical tools and deeper conversations. There’s also room for humor, awkwardness, tangents, hard days, and “I honestly have no idea what I want to talk about today.”
Your Story Matters
Trauma-informed and attachment-focused care that considers how your experiences, relationships, and environment have shaped the way you cope and connect today.
Getting Unstuck
Using tools from CBT and other evidence-based approaches to notice patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and experiment with different ways of responding.
Your Brain, Your Way
Neurodiversity-affirming support that focuses less on making you fit into expectations and more on understanding how your brain works, what you need, and what helps you thrive.
Less Shame. More Self-Compassion.
Making space for guilt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and that “I should be doing better” voice and learning how to meet yourself with curiosity instead of criticism.
