I became a therapist through my own journey of trying to understand myself.

For much of my life, I carried a deep sense of shame and a feeling that I wasn’t enough—that something about me was fundamentally wrong. That experience led me to become deeply curious about why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, and what it actually takes to create real, lasting change.

Over time, that curiosity became a commitment to healing. Through my own work, I began to understand how many of the patterns we struggle with—self-criticism, people-pleasing, perfectionism, disordered eating—are often rooted in shame and a fragile sense of self-worth. What changed things for me was realizing how powerful it is when shame is met with curiosity and empathy instead of judgment.

This is what I bring into my work as a therapist. I work with people who feel like they are the problem, or like they’re not enough—who carry shame, struggle with self-worth, and feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. Many of my clients have spent years being hard on themselves or trying to “fix” themselves, and often share that they finally feel seen, understood, and not judged in our work together.

My approach is relational, insight-oriented, and deeply attuned. I tend to pick up on things that aren’t always said out loud and help you put words to thoughts and feelings that may feel unclear or difficult to access. Rather than trying to fix you, I focus on helping you understand yourself more deeply, because I believe real change happens when we relate to ourselves with curiosity instead of judgment.

I’m deeply committed to my own growth, both professionally and personally. I draw from my evolving roles and relationships—including being a mother, wife, sister, and therapist —as ongoing sources of learning and reflection. I believe meaningful change requires an active commitment, as well as humility and openness to continued growth. We are all works in progress.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re not enough, or like something is wrong with you, therapy can be a space to begin seeing yourself differently—with more clarity, compassion, and self-worth.
