Supportive, Person-Centered Therapy for Adults Seeking Clarity, Connection, and Relief

Therapy begins with a simple but meaningful invitation: to turn toward your experience with care and curiosity. I work with adults (18 and older) who want to better understand themselves, reduce emotional distress, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and self-trust. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, OCD-related distress, or life transitions, I offer a space where your thoughts, emotions, and questions can be heard and honored without judgment.

My Approach
A collaborative, humanistic process rooted in respect, presence, and compassion

I offer a person-centered, humanistic approach grounded in authenticity, emotional presence, and deep respect for your unique experience. I believe that change and growth result from the experience of being truly heard and supported rather than analyzed or directed. My role is to accompany you with curiosity and care, helping you explore your concerns at your own pace and in your own words.

In our work together, you set the direction. I bring clinical knowledge, but more importantly, I bring presence, active listening, and a commitment to creating a consistent and emotionally attuned therapeutic relationship. Whether you're seeking clarity around a current struggle or exploring broader questions of identity, meaning, or self-concept, I aim to support you in reconnecting with your inner strengths and values.

This style of therapy is often a good fit for those who:

• Feel overwhelmed by anxiety, uncertainty, or inner conflict

• Are grieving a loss or adjusting to a major life change

• Want to feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally resilient

• Prefer a reflective, supportive space over structured techniques or advice

• Value openness, self-awareness, and authentic connection in the therapy process

Grief and Loss
Making space for your grief, however it shows up

Grief is not a problem to be solved—it’s an experience to be supported. Whether you're grieving a recent loss or noticing older losses resurfacing, I provide a compassionate space where your grief can unfold naturally. Together, we’ll honor what you’ve lost and how it’s shaped you, while also making room for what comes next—on your terms, in your time.

Grief can bring up a wide range of emotions—sadness, guilt, anger, numbness, even relief. Whatever you’re feeling, you don’t need to go through it alone. My approach is gentle, accepting, and focused on supporting you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or set of symptoms.

OCD-Informed Therapy
A supportive, process-oriented approach to resolving obsessional doubt

I also work with individuals who experience OCD-related concerns and distress, using an inference-based cognitive model (I-CBT). This approach focuses on the process of how obsessional doubts form, rather than the specific content of the thoughts. It helps you recognize when your mind is making an unlikely assumption—and supports you in returning to your lived, felt experience rather than getting stuck in mental loops.

My approach to treating OCD and related concerns is collaborative, non-confrontational, and respectful of the emotional toll OCD can take. My approach is best suited to those who prefer less structure and value open, reflective conversation, though I also provide psychoeducation and offer skills-based suggestions. I aim to support you with compassion and consistent presence as we reduce distress, strengthen trust in your own perception, and create space for greater ease and confidence.

What to Expect

Our work together will unfold in open conversation, at a pace that feels right to you. I strive to create a space that is warm, open, and responsive—where your thoughts and feelings are met with care, not criticism. Many clients share that therapy helps them feel more grounded, more fully themselves, and more capable of facing life with clarity and self-compassion.

While it is the case that most people seek out therapy due to difficulties they are experiencing, therapy with me is not about “fixing” you—it’s about being with you, supporting you, and helping to foster change and growth which occur as the result of deep reflection within the context of a therapeutic relationship in which your unique ways of knowing and being are supported.

Next Steps

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is essential to the therapeutic process. I offer a brief phone consultation so we can see whether my approach feels like a good fit for you. If you're seeking a place to reflect, understand, and grow—with depth, clinical care, and respect for your lived experience—I welcome the opportunity to connect.
