The Work
Anxiety, depression, compulsions, addiction — these are often not the root. They are the signal. Something in you is asking to be known.
Somewhere along the way, many of us either forgot who we are — or never quite became who we were meant to be. Life moved fast. Relationships, jobs, children, grief, transition. And the question who am I? got buried somewhere underneath it all.
Slowing down can feel dangerous. When we stop, everything we've been outrunning is waiting there — the discomfort, the guilt, the shame, the not-knowing. But that slowing down is where the work begins.
Therapy with me is a space to turn towards your own experience — gently, at your pace. As we begin to accept what's there, something shifts. The parts of you that finally feel seen don't stay hidden. They emerge. They find their own story, their own direction. We each carry within us the capacity to heal ourselves, given the right conditions.
The Observing Self
One of the things I work with is what I call the observing self — the part of you that can witness your own experience without being consumed by it. The part that can say "I am in pain" rather than "I am pain."
That small distance changes everything. It's the part of you that can hold you steady in a crisis, that doesn't disappear when things get hard. Strengthening that part is often at the heart of the work we do together.
A note on Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence, for me, speaks to difference — a difference you may have grown up with, or one you are only now beginning to discover. That territory of self-discovery deserves real care and curiosity, not correction.
I don't believe anyone is broken. I don't believe anyone needs to be fixed. I bring both professional training and my own lived experience of ADHD to this work — and I work in ways that are flexible, attuned, and respectful of how your mind moves.
If we want a world that creates space for us, we have to start by creating space for ourselves.
