When you log in for our sessions, know that you are met with warmth, acceptance, and the freedom to be exactly who you are. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life—I’m simply here to walk alongside you, offering support, reflection, and tools to help you navigate whatever you’re going through.

Person-centered therapy means that our work together is led by you. There’s no rigid agenda, no “one-size-fits-all” approach—just a space where your voice, experiences, and emotions are honored. Whether you’re untangling difficult emotions, figuring out who you are, or just needing a space to breathe, we move at a pace that feels right for you.

That doesn’t mean you have to have it all figured out before we start. In fact, that’s the beauty of this process—you don’t have to come in knowing what to say or where to begin. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, helping you explore your emotions and experiences without pressure or judgment.

Mindfulness plays a big role in how I work. Life can feel overwhelming, like a constant flood of thoughts, expectations, and pressures pulling you in a hundred directions. Together, we’ll practice grounding techniques to help you feel more present, more connected to yourself, and less consumed by the “what-ifs” and “should-haves.” Whether it’s through deep breathing, body awareness, or simply noticing and naming what you’re feeling, mindfulness helps create space for self-awareness, clarity, and self-compassion.

And through it all, my goal is empowerment. I want you to leave our sessions not only feeling heard and understood, but also more confident in your ability to navigate your life on your own terms. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” anything—it’s about discovering your strengths, reclaiming your voice, and learning how to show up for yourself in ways that feel powerful and authentic.

No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to support you in becoming the most you version of yourself—unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and with the self-compassion you deserve.

When you log into session with me, you’re stepping into a space where all of you is welcome—your thoughts, your feelings, your identity, your experiences. Affirming and empowerment-based therapy isn’t just about support; it’s about helping you feel truly seen in a world that may not have always made space for you.

For me, affirming care means meeting you exactly where you are, without judgment or expectation. It’s about acknowledging the ways you’ve been invalidated—whether by society, relationships, or even your own inner critic—and working together to rewrite that narrative. You deserve to take up space. You deserve to feel safe in who you are. And you deserve to build a life that feels authentic to you.

Empowerment-based therapy is about more than just talking—it’s about reclaiming. Reclaiming your voice, your autonomy, and your ability to trust yourself. I won’t tell you who to be or what to do, but I will walk alongside you as you explore what feels right for you. I’ll offer tools, perspective, and encouragement as you navigate challenges, step into your power, and begin to move through life with more confidence and self-compassion.

No matter where you are on your journey, know that you don’t have to do it alone. Our work together is about helping you feel more grounded in yourself, more secure in your choices, and more connected to the version of you that feels the most whole, the most true, and the most free.

When you log into session with me, you’re entering a space where you don’t have to justify, defend, or prove anything about who you are. You are already enough—already whole—exactly as you are. 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming therapy isn’t just about being accepting; it’s about celebrating, supporting, and truly seeing you in all of your complexity and truth.

I know that navigating the world as a queer person isn’t always easy. Whether you’ve faced systemic barriers, family rejection, past invalidation, or simply the exhaustion of existing in spaces that don’t always feel safe—it matters. You deserve a space where you can process those experiences without fear of judgment. Where you don’t have to filter yourself. Where you can explore who you are—your identity, your relationships, your emotions—without anyone questioning your reality.

Maybe you’re in the process of understanding your gender or sexuality. Maybe you’re healing from past harm, working through internalized shame, or figuring out what an affirming, authentic life looks like for you. Whatever it is, I’m here to support you in a way that feels safe, empowering, and yours.

Together, we’ll work on unlearning the messages that have made you feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough.” We’ll build self-trust, explore what empowerment looks like for you, and create space for you to live your truth—without apology, without fear, and without shame.

You don’t have to do this alone. I see you, I believe you, and I am here for you.

As women, we’ve been taught—explicitly and implicitly—to shrink ourselves. To be agreeable, to put others first, to second-guess our own instincts. We’ve been conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to how much we give, how well we care for others, and how little space we take up. But here, in this space, we’re unlearning that.

Empowerment isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to yourself. It’s about peeling back the layers of self-doubt, guilt, and expectation that have been placed on you and reconnecting with your own voice. It’s about setting boundaries without feeling like you have to apologize for them. It’s about trusting yourself enough to know that your needs, your wants, and your dreams matter.

I approach this work with the understanding that the barriers women face aren’t just internal—they’re systemic. Patriarchy, misogyny, fatphobia, ableism, and the constant expectation to be “everything for everyone” shape how we move through the world. You don’t have to explain why it feels exhausting—I already believe you. Here, your experiences are validated, and together, we work on dismantling the harmful narratives that have kept you feeling small.

Therapy isn’t about telling you to “hustle harder” or mold yourself to fit into systems that weren’t built with you in mind. It’s about helping you define what success, happiness, and fulfillment look like for you. Through mindfulness, self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and strengths-based work, we’ll explore what it means for you to feel truly free—whether that’s in your relationships, your work, or just how you show up for yourself every day.

Empowerment isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s deeply personal. And in our work together, we’ll discover what it means for you to step into your power—without fear, without guilt, and without apology.

If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety or depression, I want you to know this: You are not broken, and you don’t have to “fix” yourself to be worthy of peace, joy, or rest. Therapy isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels compassionate, empowering, and true to you.

Depression and anxiety don’t exist in a vacuum. They are shaped by experiences, expectations, and the world around us. Maybe you’ve spent years pushing through exhaustion, believing your worth is tied to productivity or perfection. Maybe your anxiety feels like it’s constantly on high alert, scanning for ways to keep you safe.

In our work together, we’ll explore what’s underneath your anxiety or depression—not just the symptoms, but the deeper layers. We’ll gently unlearn the messages that have told you to shrink yourself, to silence your needs, or to constantly prove your worth. Through mindfulness, we’ll shift from self-judgment to self-awareness—learning to tune into your emotions, thoughts, and body with curiosity rather than criticism. Mindfulness isn’t about forcing yourself to be “calm” or “positive.” It’s about learning how to exist in the present moment, to regulate your nervous system, and to approach your emotions with more self-compassion. Together, we’ll find grounding techniques that help you feel safer in your body, tools to work through distress without feeling overwhelmed, and ways to reconnect with yourself in a way that feels nurturing and sustainable. Healing doesn’t mean never feeling anxious or sad again. It means knowing that when those feelings arise, you have the tools, self-trust, and inner strength to move through them without losing yourself in the process. And most importantly, it means knowing you don’t have to do it alone.

If self-care has ever felt like just another thing on your to-do list—one more expectation, one more thing you’re “supposed” to get right—I want you to know that’s not what it’s about. Real self-care isn’t a checklist. It’s not about doing more—it’s about giving yourself permission to do what actually supports you.

In our work together, self-care isn’t just about surface-level wellness tips. It’s about learning how to listen to yourself—your body, your emotions, your needs—and responding with compassion rather than criticism. We’ll explore what replenishes you, what helps you feel grounded, and what allows you to move through stress without burning yourself out. Because self-care isn’t selfish, and rest isn’t something you have to “earn.”

Stress isn’t just in your mind—it lives in your nervous system, in your relationships, and in the way the world treats you. That’s why stress management isn’t just about relaxation techniques; it’s about learning how to regulate your emotions, set boundaries without guilt, and move through overwhelming moments with more ease. Through mindfulness, DBT, ACT, and other evidence-based approaches, we’ll find tools that work for you—not just ones that sound good in theory.

And most importantly, we’ll unlearn the idea that your worth is tied to productivity. That taking care of yourself means you’re “lazy” or “indulgent.” That pushing through exhaustion is just part of life. You deserve care. You deserve rest. And you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’ve ever felt at war with your body—criticized it, picked it apart, or wished it looked different—I want you to know that you’re not alone. We live in a world that constantly tells us our worth is tied to how we look, that we need to shrink, change, or “fix” ourselves to be enough. But here’s the truth: You are already enough. Your body is not the problem.

In our work together, we’ll focus on healing—not by forcing you to love every inch of yourself overnight, but by helping you move toward a place of acceptance, compassion, and trust in your own body. Body image work isn’t about convincing you to “just think positive” or reciting affirmations that don’t feel true yet. It’s about unlearning the harmful messages you’ve been taught, reconnecting with your body in a way that feels safe, and releasing the shame that was never yours to carry.

Whether you’re struggling with body image because of societal pressures or past experiences, we’ll explore what your healing looks like. Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and nervous system regulation, we’ll work toward making peace with your body—not because you’re supposed to, but because you deserve that freedom.

You don’t have to spend your life at war with yourself. You deserve to exist without shame, to take up space, and to treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others. And if you’re not sure how to get there yet, that’s okay—I’ll meet you where you are.

I see you. I believe you. And I am here to help you find a way forward that feels empowering, affirming, and yours.

Early adulthood can feel like a whirlwind—exciting, overwhelming, full of possibilities, and yet packed with uncertainty. Maybe you’re adjusting to new responsibilities, navigating relationships, figuring out your career path, or just trying to make sense of who you are in a world that often feels like it’s moving too fast. If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to have it all figured out by now—I promise, you’re not alone.

In our work together, I provide a space where you can untangle the stress, self-doubt, and expectations that come with being a young adult. Therapy isn’t about giving you a set path to follow—it’s about helping you build trust in yourself, so that you can navigate life’s choices in a way that feels authentic to you.

We’ll talk about the real stuff—the uncertainty, the pressures of social media, the challenges of setting boundaries, and the weight of expectations from family, society, or even yourself. Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and strengths-based work, we’ll explore ways to manage stress, regulate emotions, and find clarity in the chaos. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck, or questioning what’s next, I’m here to help you find a sense of grounding and self-trust in the midst of it all.

You don’t have to have all the answers right now. You just need a space where you can explore, grow, and step into who you’re becoming—without pressure, without judgment, and at your own pace. And I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Life can be a lot. Between work, relationships, responsibilities, and the constant noise of the world around us, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re just trying to keep your head above water. If you’re feeling stuck, drained, or like you’re carrying more than you can handle, I want you to know—you don’t have to do it alone.

In our work together, we’ll create a space where you can slow down, breathe, and actually process everything that’s been weighing on you. Whether it’s stress from work, family dynamics, decision fatigue, or just the pressure of trying to juggle everything at once, therapy gives you the space to step back and figure out what you need—not just what’s expected of you.

I approach stress management with a mix of mindfulness, self-compassion, and nervous system regulation to help you feel more grounded and in control, rather than overwhelmed and reactive. We’ll explore ways to set boundaries without guilt, manage the mental load you’re carrying, and build habits that help you feel more present and less burnt out.

Sometimes, stress feels like it’s just part of life—something you’re supposed to push through. But the truth is, you deserve to feel at peace in your own life. You deserve rest. You deserve support. And together, we’ll work toward a way of navigating life’s stressors that feels more balanced, more sustainable, and more you.

Life moves fast. Your mind is constantly racing—rehashing the past, worrying about the future, juggling responsibilities, and trying to keep up with everything around you. If you ever feel like you’re stuck in autopilot, disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by your thoughts, mindfulness can help bring you back to center.

Mindfulness-based therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to be calm or pushing away difficult emotions—it’s about learning how to be with yourself in a way that feels grounding, compassionate, and safe. In our work together, we’ll focus on helping you build awareness of your thoughts and emotions without judgment, so you can move through life feeling more present, intentional, and in control.

This might look like:
✨ Practicing grounding techniques to help regulate your nervous system when stress and anxiety feel overwhelming.
✨ Learning how to sit with emotions instead of avoiding them, so they don’t build up and feel even heavier.
✨ Developing self-compassion so your inner voice becomes gentler, more understanding, and less critical.
✨ Exploring breathwork, visualization, and other tools that help you reconnect with your body and feel safer in the present moment.

Mindfulness isn’t about “clearing your mind” or always feeling peaceful—it’s about learning how to hold space for yourself, even in the messy moments. It’s about finding tools that help you navigate life’s challenges with more ease, more balance, and more self-trust.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. All you have to do is show up exactly as you are, and we’ll take it from there—one moment, one breath at a time.

Guided meditations

If your mind feels like it’s always racing—jumping from one thought to the next, overanalyzing, worrying, or planning—you’re not alone. We live in a world that rarely slows down, and sometimes, it can feel impossible to find even a moment of peace. That’s where guided meditation comes in.

In our work together, guided meditation isn’t about forcing yourself to be calm or “clearing your mind” perfectly—it’s about creating space for you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. It’s a tool to help you feel more grounded, more present, and more in tune with what you need in the moment.

What does guided meditation look like in session?
✨ Breathwork and grounding exercises to help regulate your nervous system when you’re feeling overwhelmed.
✨ Body scans and mindful awareness to release tension and reconnect with your body in a safe, gentle way.
✨ Compassion-based meditations to help soften self-judgment and build a kinder, more supportive inner voice.
✨ Visualizations to help you feel more at peace, whether that means imagining a safe place, releasing stress, or inviting in self-compassion.

Guided meditation is always personalized to you—your comfort level, your needs, and what feels right in the moment. You don’t have to “do it perfectly” or be an expert in mindfulness. You just have to show up as you are, and I’ll guide you through the rest.

Whether you’re looking for ways to calm anxiety, deepen self-awareness, or simply create moments of stillness in a busy world, guided meditation can be a powerful, restorative tool. And I’d love to help you explore how it can support you.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough—like you have to prove your worth, like your value depends on what you achieve or how others see you—I want you to know that you’re not alone. Self-esteem isn’t about being perfect or never doubting yourself; it’s about learning to see yourself with the same kindness and compassion you offer to others. And that’s exactly what we’ll work on together.

In our sessions, we’ll explore the roots of self-doubt—where those critical inner voices come from, how past experiences have shaped the way you see yourself, and the expectations you’ve been carrying that aren’t actually yours to carry. We’ll gently unlearn the belief that your worth is tied to productivity, perfection, or how well you meet other people’s expectations. Instead, we’ll work on building a self-concept that is grounded in who you are—not just what you do.

Self-esteem building isn’t about “faking it till you make it” or forcing yourself to feel confident overnight. It’s about:
✨ Shifting from self-judgment to self-compassion—so that your inner voice becomes a source of support, not criticism.
✨ Practicing mindfulness and self-awareness—so you can recognize and challenge negative thought patterns instead of believing them.
✨ Building self-trust—so you can show up as your authentic self without fear of being “too much” or “not enough.”
✨ Honoring your needs and setting boundaries—without guilt, shame, or the fear of letting others down.

Healing your relationship with yourself takes time, but you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen, valued, and empowered to step into your worth—fully, unapologetically, and on your own terms.
