You Deserve Therapy That Gets You—No Explaining Required

You’re doing your best, but the world doesn’t always make it easy. Maybe you’re tired of people telling you you’ll change your mind about not having kids. Maybe you’ve broken free from a toxic relationship but still feel the weight of self-doubt. Maybe you’re an HSP who feels like the world is just too much some days. Or maybe your horse isn’t just a hobby—it’s part of who you are, and you need a therapist who understands that world.

I see you. And I get it.

I specialize in working with people who walk their own path. Whether it’s standing firm in your childfree choice, healing from emotional abuse, or setting boundaries with family, you shouldn’t have to justify your choices in therapy—you should feel supported in them.

With a warm, validating, and direct approach, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help my clients gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with self-trust.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
💭 For Teens & Young Adults: Life is moving fast. Between school, friendships, family expectations, and figuring out who you are, it can feel overwhelming. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, or navigating your identity, therapy is a space where you can talk without judgment, process your emotions, and figure things out on your terms.
💭 For Adults: You’ve been told who you should be for so long, but what about who you want to be? Whether you're healing from a toxic relationship, setting boundaries with family, or embracing life on your own terms, therapy can help you gain confidence, break old patterns, and build a life that truly fits you.

What It’s Like to Work With Me
✔️ A judgment-free space where you don’t have to explain yourself.
✔️ A therapist who gets it—you won’t have to educate me on your experiences.
✔️ Real conversations, real support, and real tools to help you move forward.

Therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to defend who you are—only discover what’s next. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly understands you and your journey, let’s talk.
