WHAT TO EXPECT

Going to therapy can feel scary and overwhelming when you are in the THICK OF IT. I get it. For real. Knowing what to expect can help.

How Can I Help?

I specialize in helping people navigate big shifts and figure out who the heck they are without all of the external noise. You know when you get to that point where you realize somethings gotta give? Yea. Those kinds of shifts. When you stand back and decide you want more for yourself in this life because you don't even feel like you know who you are anymore? I can help you navigate it. 

I also work with clients who are dealing with the aftermath of grief, exploring their identity (whether that’s around gender, sexuality, or something else), and redefining the beliefs that hold us back from living full, authentic, open-hearted lives.

​

Some of the things I can help with:

​

- Identity reclamation after major life changes

- Breaking free from societal or familial expectations

- Navigating grief and emotional loss

- Building self-worth and confidence

- Exploring gender and sexual identity

- Overcoming shame and unlearning perfectionism

- Living authentically and in alignment with your values

​

If any of this resonates, I’m here for it. I’ll meet you exactly where you are. I got you! 

My Approach

My approach is collaborative, flexible, and deeply rooted in respect for your personal journey. My goal is always the same: to empower you to take the lead in your own life and create lasting change from the inside out.

​

This is not therapy as usual. It’s raw, real, and sometimes messy - but it’s always rooted in growth, curiosity, and staying true to your own pace of healing. There is no timeline here. Only one step in front of the other, over and over and over again.​

​

This is a space for self-reflection, deep healing, and meaningful growth. My approach is gentle but direct - grounded in curiosity, respect, and a shared commitment to your transformation. We’ll dive into your emotions, unearth what’s been buried, and create a path forward that feels authentic and empowering.

​

Our work together will be a balance of reflection, curiosity, and growth. There’s no judgment here - just space to be who you truly are. 

​

My ultimate goal is this: I am here to help you uncover your true self. The self under the labels and roles. I want you to know who you are and live it confidently, because confidence comes when you are living in alignment with your values My work with clients is about helping you to slowly face the darkest, scariest parts that you want to avoid and helping you to slowly unlock the beautiful, deep, unique potential that exists within you. 

My Approach

Who I Work With

My clients are often:

​

- Creatives, LGBTQ+, and/or neurodivergent individuals 
 
- Individuals going through life changes, such as leaving a marriage or long-term partnership, adjusting to significant shifts in their identity
​
- Those feeling disconnected from themselves.
​
- Those grieving any deep emotional loss, whatever that means to you.
​
- Individuals wanting to feel their emotions fully, and face their fear, sadness, and shame.
​
- People looking to understand their emotional reactions

​

 

Together, we will work through the hard feelings and discover how your internal landscape has been shaped throughout your life. It’s not about fixing what’s broken (you are not broken!) but regaining self-trust, self-intimacy, and self-authority.
