​Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

​

Life can feel heavy sometimes—like you're stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy is one way to find relief, make sense of what’s going on inside, and explore new possibilities for how you want to live. Sometimes the most healing part is simply having a safe space to talk with someone who listens without judgment and helps you understand yourself more clearly.

 

In our sessions, I’m a real person—curious, direct, and deeply focused on what’s happening for you in the moment. I care about how you’re feeling on the inside, what you're carrying, and what comes up in our relationship—because all of that can say a lot about how you show up in other parts of your life, too.

 

Relationships shape us—family, friends, crushes, breakups, teachers, group chats, even the way you grew up hearing people talk about emotions. If we can look at how your past and current relationships have affected you, we can better understand why certain feelings, patterns, or struggles show up. From there, we can figure out what you actually want—and how to move toward it.

 

You didn’t choose the environment you grew up in, but it likely taught you some unspoken rules. Maybe you were told to “toughen up” instead of cry. Maybe you had to hide parts of yourself to feel safe or accepted. Maybe you were always the one keeping the peace. These early dynamics often turn into patterns we carry with us, even when they don’t serve us anymore. Together, we’ll explore where those patterns came from and how to make new choices that reflect who you are now—not just who you had to be back then.

 

We all have different “parts” of us—one that wants to speak up, another that says “just stay quiet,” another that’s tired of pretending everything’s okay. These parts aren’t wrong—they’re trying to protect you. But when they start pulling you in opposite directions, life can feel like a constant battle. We’ll work on helping your inner world feel more safe, more resourced, and more in sync—so you can feel more grounded, present, and free to be your whole self.

 

If any of this resonates with you, reach out. I’m also trained in EMDR, a powerful method for processing trauma that works well on its own or alongside talk therapy. Let’s talk about what you need and find a way of working together that feels right for you.
