Tell Me If This Sounds Familiar …

  • You wake up already feeling behind — like the checklist will never end.

  • You’re juggling a career, family, and relationships, but have little energy left for yourself.

  • Your stress level impacts your mood and your body.

  • You find yourself worrying more, sleeping less, and feeling less like “you.”

  • You’re craving practical tools that actually help you in your everyday life.

You’re in the right place.

My style

I believe therapy should be warm, collaborative, and practical.

Seaside is a therapeutic space where you feel seen, heard, and supported while learning tools that you can actually use in your everyday life.

Sessions are a combination of reflection, processing, and action — helping you to cope with the challenges you’ve been carrying while implementing practical tools that make everyday life feel more manageable.

Clients often share that they leave sessions feeling calmer, lighter, and more like themselves again.

My Guiding Principles

Warmth & Authenticity

You’ll be welcomed into a space where you don’t have to perform, fix yourself, or be anyone but who you are.

You’re not just another client—you’re seen, heard, and genuinely cared for.

Insight & Clarity

We’ll focus on your thoughts, feelings, & values to identify the tools that best support you.


We’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and what’s needed to move toward healing, clarity, and emotional wellness.

Compassion & Support

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, or something harder to describe — you deserve compassion and care that meets you where you are with empathy. Your emotions are valid and your story matters. At Seaside, your experiences are seen and valued.

Empowerment

We’ll begin mapping out what healing might look like for you, starting with small steps to move you forward with clarity & confidence.

You’ll learn to set boundaries, trust yourself again, and create a life that reflects who you are now — not just who you’ve had to be.
