Are you feeling depressed and lonely even when there are so many people around you? Is it hard to switch that critical voice that's on all the time? Whether you deal with work/relationship related issues, perfectionism tendencies, low self confidence, overdoing and burnout, hurt from past traumas or shame - you'll find yourself in safe and nonjudgemental space for healing and emotional holding to take place.

No human is broken. We are all, simply, the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences, operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting.

In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, we will work to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. Through focusing on development of the ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, individuals will actively reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm, in order to find the healing, growth, and change they are hoping for.

I provide relational, integrative therapy for both couples and individuals.

My approach blends process-oriented exploration with practical, skills-based tools to support clarity, connection, and sustainable change.
