Individual Therapy That’s Supportive, Collaborative, and Evidence-Based

I offer individual therapy sessions in a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore challenges, build self-acceptance, and foster meaningful personal growth. My approach is playful, curious, warm, and deeply supportive, grounded in a trauma-informed framework. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, drawing on evidence-based practices to guide our work together with empathy, understanding, and a focus on lasting change.

Therapy for Caregivers, People-Pleasers, and the Ones Others Rely on

Much of my work is dedicated to supporting people who support everyone else. You may be the caregiver in your family, the emotional anchor in your relationships, or the person friends turn to when things fall apart. Often, this includes those who identify as people-pleasers, over-functioners, or natural caregivers—deeply attuned to others’ needs, emotions, and well-being, sometimes at the expense of their own.

You might be supporting a partner or loved one living with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or significant emotional intensity. Or you may simply have always taken on the role of stabilizer, mediator, or “the strong one.”

Over time, constantly holding space, regulating others’ emotions, and keeping systems running can quietly take a toll. Many people don’t realize how depleted they are until exhaustion, resentment, or numbness sets in. These patterns often come from deep empathy, loyalty, and care—not weakness. Yet without support, they can lead to chronic stress, loss of self, and difficulty recognizing your own needs.

With years of experience specializing in mood disorders and complex relational dynamics, my work naturally centers on the emotional and relational burden caregivers carry. I integrate trauma-informed therapy, psychoeducation, and clinical experience to help you understand patterns like emotional over-responsibility, hyper-attunement, and burnout. Together, we explore the cycles that emerge when you love or care for someone who struggles with emotional regulation—and how those cycles impact you.

In therapy, we focus on helping you stay grounded while still caring deeply. We’ll explore boundaries rooted in compassion rather than guilt or self-abandonment. You’ll learn to:

• Listen to your internal signals

• Tolerate discomfort without over-functioning

• Clarify when to lean in and when to step back

• Stay connected to yourself even in emotionally intense relationships

Whether you’re a partner supporting someone with a mood or personality disorder, a caregiver navigating family dynamics, or a helping professional carrying emotional labor day after day, this space is designed for you. Therapy here is about restoring balance—allowing you to keep your empathy without losing your center, refill what’s been depleted, and reconnect with yourself as more than the one who holds everything together.

Therapy and support for Chronic and Invisible Illness

Much of my work centers on trauma and its long-term impact on safety, identity, and a sense of agency. A key focus of my practice is supporting people living with chronic and invisible illness, including conditions that affect energy, autonomic functioning, and overall capacity. This can include experiences such as dysautonomia, post-viral conditions like Long COVID, and other illnesses that aren’t always visible to others.

Living with these conditions often carries a unique emotional burden: feeling disempowered by your body, wanting to do more than your symptoms allow, and navigating limitations that may be misunderstood or minimized.

I bring both lived experience with dysautonomia and years of trauma-informed clinical practice to this work. Therapy provides a supportive space to process the emotional impact of chronic illness, including grief, identity shifts, medical trauma, and uncertainty about the future. Together, we work toward:

• Cultivating self-compassion

• Rebuilding trust with your body

• Setting goals that honor your energy, capacity, and natural rhythms, rather than measuring yourself against expectations never designed for chronic illness

This work challenges ableist assumptions that prioritize productivity, endurance, or “pushing through” at all costs. Even well-intentioned care can quietly cause harm. Therapy becomes a space where your experience does not need to be justified or explained, and where your worth is not contingent on what your body can produce.

Whether you’re managing ongoing symptoms, navigating fluctuating energy, or living with an unpredictable or invisible condition, this space is here to support your mental health and well-being. The goal is not to fix your body, but to help you reconnect with yourself, restore a sense of agency, and build a life that feels sustainable, compassionate, and grounded in your reality..
