Therapy that’s gentle, but not shallow.
Good therapy is a balance — soft enough to hold you, strong enough to move you. Sessions with me are built on depth, direction, and gentleness. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?”
I work with people who are ready to understand themselves in a deeper way, who might not know exactly how to face their pain yet, but are willing to try. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. All that’s needed is a bit of willingness; the rest tends to unfold from there.
Each session is shaped around who you are and what you need. I draw from evidence-based methods, somatic awareness, mindfulness, relational insight, and emotion-focused work depending on what feels most useful for your situation and personality. The process helps you build insight that actually leads somewhere — toward connection, relief, and a deeper sense of self.

Trauma
You may carry a pain that feels invisible to others—confused by the weight you feel, yet unable to trace it back to a single moment. Perhaps you've experienced abuse, betrayal, discrimination, or rejection that left lasting wounds. Or maybe there’s no clear memory, just a sense that something inside still isn’t at ease. Trauma shows up in many ways, and none of it means you're broken.
-
Depression
Maybe you wake up dreading the day or find yourself going through the motions, feeling flat and disconnected. You might cancel plans, struggle to focus, or feel shame for not being able to “snap out of it.” Depression can feel like it’s stealing your ability to care—about others, about yourself. Therapy can help you untangle the heaviness and start finding moments of aliveness again.

Identity Issues
You may be asking: Who am I, really? Maybe you feel lost—so far from who you hoped to be that you don’t know where to begin. You might not like who you are right now, and the weight of self-judgment can make it hard to see yourself clearly. The truth is, your deeper Self has always been there—quiet, buried, waiting. In therapy, we’ll gently make space for that part of you to come forward with compassion, curiosity, and care.

Anxiety
You lie awake at night thinking through everything you said, everything you didn’t say, and what might go wrong tomorrow. Even small tasks can feel overwhelming when your body is tight and your chest won’t loosen. You try to keep it together, but underneath, you're always scanning for what could go wrong. Therapy can help you soften that constant tension, understand where it comes from, and start to feel safe enough to breathe again.
