Currently welcoming new clients. Anxiety, overthinking, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed—even when life ‘looks fine on the outside’?” Inside, it’s heavier—replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, or feeling disconnected from people who matter. Sometimes your system is reacting as if the past is still present, and what once helped you cope just isn’t working the same way anymore. Therapy can help you make sense of those patterns, process what’s underneath them, and reduce the intensity so you can respond instead of react—feeling more steady, clear, and able to trust yourself again.

In our work together, you’ll learn to regulate difficult emotions, communicate what you actually need, and break patterns that keep you stuck. With over 17 years of experience specializing in anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, and relationship conflict, I integrate DBT, CBT, EMDR and Family Systems in a trauma-informed approach.

Clients often describe our work as direct but compassionate — I won’t just validate your feelings, I’ll also offer practical tools you can use right away, while we work on deeper patterns together. At Under the Oak, therapy isn’t about endlessly revisiting the past. It’s about building a life where you feel steady, connected, and capable.
