Compassionate

Maybe you've gotten really good at reading the room, keeping the peace, taking care of everyone else, and second-guessing yourself. You want to feel more confident, have healthier relationships, set boundaries, and you are tried of trying to fix in a box that was never yours. You want love, but you don't want to lose yourself to get it.

I work with women navigating anxiety, self-doubt, career challenges, intimacy and relationship patterns, and the aftermath of being hurt. Some of my clients have built walls around their hearts because their capacity to love is so big, but letting people in no longer feels safe. Others are tired of playing small, avoiding what they really want, or feeling like they have to be perfect, useful, or easy to be worthy.

I help women break old patterns without losing the softness, sensitivity, and big hearts that make them who they are. Together, we’ll explore the family dynamics, cultural messages, power dynamics, and relationship experiences that shaped you while building self-respect, confidence, boundaries, and trust in your own voice.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, integrating somatic therapy, CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, inner child work,  IFS and feminist therapy.

I believe you can be kind without people-pleasing, vulnerable without abandoning yourself, and loving without losing your power. Therapy is a place to question the rules you inherited, stop playing small, and create relationships and a life that actually feel like yours.
