I work with high-functioning individuals experiencing anxiety, overthinking, and a constant sense of overwhelm. Many are perfectionists, people-pleasers, or struggle with anxious attachment patterns, often putting others’ needs ahead of their own. They may find it difficult to set boundaries, understand their needs, or communicate them in relationships. Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when past experiences or trauma continue to impact daily life. I help clients understand these patterns and build healthier, more balanced ways of relating to themselves and others.
I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and depression. My approach goes beyond talk therapy-you’ll learn practical tools to regulate emotions, set healthy boundaries, and build self-trust. Together, we’ll strengthen your self-esteem by challenging negative self-talk, building self-compassion, and helping you feel more confident and grounded in who you are.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, or putting others first, you’re not alone. We’ll build insight and practical tools to help you understand your needs, communicate clearly, and create more meaningful relationships and a stronger sense of self.
