Introduction

I don’t believe you’re broken. And I don’t believe you need to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve — you’re a person, with depth, complexity, and the natural ebb and flow of life. Like a river, you twist, you slow, and sometimes, you flood. And rivers? They don’t need to be fixed or pushed into a mold. They need to be understood. They need space. They need trust. I work with people to navigate anxiety, anger, and the uncertainties that come with life’s transitions. But more than offering quick fixes or strategies, I create a space where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. This is about more than managing your feelings — it’s about giving you the time and space to listen to what’s inside you, to meet what arises with care and compassion. When we work together, my role isn’t to label you or rush you toward an outcome. I’m here to sit with you. To slow down. To be present with whatever is unfolding — whether it’s grief, anger, confusion, or quiet stillness. Nothing needs to be rushed. Nothing needs to be pushed away. We’ll move at your pace. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — and you’re looking for a therapy that embraces your full humanity — I believe we could be a great fit. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t even need to know where to start. All that’s needed is a willingness to show up honestly, slow down, and begin exploring what’s alive inside you.
