How I Work
Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes, tough love, or pretending everything is fine. It’s about slowing down, making space for what you’re carrying, and gently getting curious about how your struggles connect to the life you’ve lived. Whether you’re coming in with grief, anxiety, or relationship challenges, you’ll find a space that feels collaborative, compassionate, and easy to be yourself in.
Together, we’ll look at how loss, transitions, and caregiving have shaped the way you show up now. We’ll make sense of the patterns that leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unseen, and explore the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself, even when those strategies no longer fit. My style is warm and relational, with room for humor when it helps, and grounded in approaches like attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and grief-informed care.
In therapy, every part of you is welcome. You don’t have to minimize your feelings or explain away your sensitivity. I’ll meet you where you are with warmth, honesty, and no judgment. Whether you’re grieving someone you love, moving through a breakup, navigating the ups and downs of dating while feeling anxious, or noticing that long-term relationships are stirring up old wounds, you’ll find a space here that holds all of it. My focus is on helping you see how grief and anxiety shape your relationships at every stage, and on supporting you in feeling more at home in yourself and more connected with the people who matter to you.
What Can Change When You Do This Work
Therapy does not erase grief or sensitivity, but it can help you carry them in a way that feels more manageable. The goal is not to become someone else. It is to become more fully yourself, with clarity and balance guiding you instead of fear or shame.
With time, you may:
Communicate your needs clearly and calmly.
Feel more confident navigating intimacy and boundaries.
Rest more deeply, without spirals of worry or regret keeping you awake.
Experience your relationships as a place of support rather than strain.
Make room for joy and meaning while still honoring your grief.
Trust yourself to move through waves of emotion without feeling like you are “too much.”
You have carried so much on your own already. Healing is not about rushing grief or silencing anxiety. It is about finding firmer ground, rebuilding connection, and remembering you do not have to do this alone.
