What would it feel like to shed the armor of "I'm fine" and breathe for real underneath? You’re the thoughtful over‑thinker who looks “fine” on the outside but feels one crisis away from unraveling. Maybe you’re coming out, changing jobs, or juggling parenthood—whatever the transition, that inner voice keeps whispering “not good enough.” My ideal client wants real talk and humor plus evidence‑based tools. You’re ready to understand the “why” behind old patterns, practice new skills between sessions, and finally trade restless energy for forward momentum—on your terms. I blend CBT, mindfulness, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy with a strengths‑based, person‑centered lens, so sessions feel equal parts practical skill‑building and compassionate space‑holding. Translation: we’ll get curious about the stories you tell yourself, practice tools to calm spiraling thoughts, and map out next steps that align with your values. Clients say my style is “honest, humorous, and deeply affirming.” Whether you’re navigating gender identity, grieving a breakup, or juggling career and family expectations, therapy with me is collaborative—no jargon, no judgment, just real talk and evidence‑based strategies you can use between sessions.
