Before becoming a therapist, I spent seven years in education and linguistics, studying, at a fundamental level, how the stories we tell ourselves shape who we believe we are. That background informs everything about how I work with imposter syndrome. Rather than simply helping clients reframe their thinking, I work experientially and somatically, so the shift is something you actually feel, not just understand. 

​

I also grew up navigating the expectations of multiple cultural worlds, and that lived experience gives me a particular sensitivity to clients whose self-doubt is wrapped up in family conditioning, perfectionism, or the quiet pressure of feeling like you have to earn your place. If you've spent a long time performing a version of yourself that doesn't quite fit, this is the work I do.

One thing I've noticed working with clients over the years is that imposter syndrome rarely stays in one area of life—it seeps into relationships, into the body, into the quiet moments when there's nothing left to achieve, and the doubt still shows up. 

​

My work sits at that intersection. I'm trained in somatic and mindfulness approaches alongside CBT, IFS, and attachment theory, which means we're not just talking about the pattern—we're working to shift it at a felt, embodied level. 

I also have a background in addiction recovery and Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and I find that clients who've turned to overworking, numbing, or self-sabotage as ways of managing their self-doubt often feel especially understood here.

• Focus areas: Self-esteem and self-confidence, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, codependency, chronic pain, life transitions

I came to therapy by way of neuroscience and medicine, and that path shapes how I understand imposter syndrome. When you've spent years achieving by every external measure and still can't quite believe it, that gap usually isn't a thinking problem—it's something older and deeper, rooted in early experiences and patterns that no amount of logic has been able to touch. 

​

That's where psychodynamic work comes in, and why I'm also one of a small number of therapists in the area offering Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for clients who haven't found the traction they were hoping for in traditional therapy. My goal is to get underneath the self-doubt rather than work around it so that the confidence you build actually lasts.
