Therapy to heal from trauma, people-pleasing, and the pressure to be everything to everyone

Have you tried therapy in the past but still feel stuck? Has past therapy felt aimless or confusing? I would like to offer you a different experience

When I’ve asked people what didn’t work in therapy with their previous therapist, the most common answer is some version of this: “the therapist just let me talk. I never received feedback from them,” or “the therapist only asked how I felt. I wasn’t sure what our goals were.” Because I’ve experienced passive style therapists in the past, I recognize and appreciate the need for therapeutic transparency and common goals to improve people’s quality of life. My delivery is aligned with assertive communication: direct, gentle, and respectful. Each session’s pace is based on the client’s current needs. Since people experience life through emotional, cognitive, and somatic perceptions, I strive to address them all.

My expertise is centered on guiding clients through periods of change and helping them develop and create meaningful progress in their lives. I bring a trauma informed, collaborative approach, using psychoeducation and flexible modalities. I create a safe, supportive space where clients feel valued and understood.

Taking the first step toward healing can feel intimidating, but it’s also one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. If you’re ready to begin this journey or even just curious about how therapy can help, I invite you to reach out. I’m here to support you, every step of the way.
