get rid of the guilt and anxiety that comes with always thinking about others. I want you to feel like you're enough in your relationships - and safe enough to make mistakes and experience conflict.

as a recovered People Pleaser, I won't bullshit you. I'll let you in on my thought process so you never have to leave guessing! Parts work & EMDR are "like therapy magic". Clients share relief for finally finding something that resonates.
Therapy is a space to feel grounded in which we will work to gain a non-judgmental perspective on your struggles and put our minds together to strategize ways forward.

I take a pragmatic and eclectic approach by integrating psychodynamic theories with evidence-based tools. I draw on treatments ranging from CBT, ACT, and CPT, tailoring treatment to your unique needs and experiences.
I am a client-centered therapist but I do not sit in silence - I am active and will "be with you" in whatever you bring to therapy. I won't share much about myself, but I promise to be human with you. We will work toward what is most important to you

I use humor when appropriate and don't assign random "homework" just because in therapy - I do however recommend activities, books, and podcasts for use in between sessions when appropriate and specific to a client's goals.
Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.

It is my responsibility to pay attention to the big picture- noting common themes that come up. Often concerns that we have present differently across different domains (work, home, etc.) but the emotional underpinnings and impact can be similar.
figure out why your inner critic is never satisfied. You just keep doing more and pushing yourself but it never feels "good enough". Over-achieving, putting yourself last, and setting yourself on fire to keep other people warm isn't sustainable.

I help overachievers stop "doing it all" so they can actually start living a life they want! Starting therapy, my clients realize they lost themselves trying to be who they were "supposed" to be. My goal is to guide you to who you WANT to be.
