Nice to meet you
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in painful loops of self-criticism, or navigating stress from breakups, grief, major life transitions, or TTC/IUI/IVF. My style is warm, collaborative, and responsive to what you need that day. Sometimes we focus on practical coping tools, like emotion regulation and managing rumination, and sometimes we slow down for insight and meaning-making. Over time, we’ll explore patterns like shame, guilt, and self-blame, and how past experiences shape identity and relationships. I also provide evidence-based trauma treatment when needed.
