How I show up

Relationship built on genuine connection

You’ve read countless self-help books, listened to numerous podcasts, and scrolled through endless Instagram reels and TikToks filled with advice and self-diagnosis. Despite all this, you still feel stuck and are searching for answers.

You don’t have to go through this alone. You can discover the answers you’re seeking in a space where you will feel safe, understood, and hopeful.

I will meet you where you are and provide a judgment-free space for you to express yourself openly.  Together, we will work through your internal narratives and uncover solutions that will help you find freedom.

How do I know?  I have been there. 

Hitting middle age felt like a jolt. As I was coming out of a 20-year marriage, watching my children leave for their own journeys, moving between countries, and winding down my business, I embarked on a solo journey, hoping to find myself in this big world.

Through therapy, I began to look inward and made a profound shift in my career, transitioning from an entrepreneur to becoming a therapist. I moved from constant anxiety and people-pleasing to prioritizing my own needs and finding peace within myself. It was a long journey, but I’ve finally found a place of calm and happiness.

I want to apply what I’ve learned from my journey and the wisdom I’ve gained to join you on your path. Together, I hope we can find healing, freedom, empowerment, and a sense of peace and calm.

I’m eager to learn more about you.

I’m here to meet you where you are, but that doesn’t mean I won’t ask tough questions to help you reach your goals. While I’m not an expert on your life, you’re in charge of the path you choose. My role is to support you in questioning, exploring, and understanding yourself with curiosity and compassion, so you can discover the person you’re seeking: yourself.

Take the leap

Embrace this opportunity with confidence.  Therapy can be a liberating experience.

What will therapy look like?

Skill-Based

I grew up quickly, moving between countries at young age and starting several businesses along the way. As an entrepreneur, I understand the need for practical, actionable tools. If you’re looking for concrete strategies to advance in life, you’ll get exactly that—no sugarcoating, just effective solutions to help you move forward.

Empathy & Compassion

You might notice my directness and honesty, but that doesn’t mean I lack sensitivity. I deeply connect with your experiences, feeling alongside you as we work through your challenges. You’ll sense that I’m truly present, sharing in your emotions and understanding your journey.

Personalized

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people need comfort and empathy, while others seek straightforward honesty. I’m trained in psychodynamic modalities like IFS and EMDR, but I also use structured approaches when needed. My goal is to tailor the treatment to fit your unique needs and preferences.
