I work with adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, or concerns related to intimacy and sexuality, therapy offers a space to better understand what’s beneath the surface. Using an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach, I help clients recognize the emotional and attachment patterns influencing their relationships. I’m also a Certified Sex-Informed Practitioner (CSIP) with additional training in sex therapy, offering compassionate, non-judgmental support.

Oct 14 2026: Are you intelligent, anxious, "type-A", with a million things always on the go? On the outside you appear to have "made it", but on the inside your anxiety is crippling. You wonder if you have ADHD, you're working on 100 things at once, never seeming to be able to slow down until you crash (and then beat yourself up for resting). You start to wonder if you're depressed. Why does it feel like you're on such a roller coaster of emotions? You've tried journaling, meditating, maybe even medication or therapy, but you still feel stuck. You know you need to "love yourself", but you don't know how to actually DO that

Thinking about speaking to someone because life feels off track, a relationship has broken down, or stress is becoming too much? You’re not alone. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, overthinking, or unsure how to move forward.
Alongside my clinical training, I bring lived experience of navigating challenging periods, which helps me connect with what you’re going through on a deeper level.
In the first session, we’ll talk through what’s been going on, identify key areas to work on, and create a clear plan so you leave with clarity and direction.

◑‿◐ You or your child keep moving through life, but deep down, something still feels missing. For some, it is lying awake with an anxious mind, for others, it is the weight of depression, the sting of trauma, or stress that makes every day harder. You notice anger rising when you least expect it, or habits you wish you could change holding on too tightly. My clients also share that they feel trapped by perfectionism, low self-esteem, or relationships that never feel fulfilling. Therapy can be a place to understand why you feel stuck, reconnect with who you are, and begin building a calmer, stronger, and more confident life.

Remember when you and your partner felt like best friends? Now every conversation seems to leave you feeling more disconnected. It doesn't have to stay this way. Together, you can learn to communicate in ways that help you feel close again. You’re not alone in wondering what happened to the relationship you once had. Relationships go through natural changes over time, and feeling disconnected or getting caught in a cycle of conflict doesn’t mean you've fallen out of love or you’re with the wrong person. You're just stuck in a pattern that's pushing you apart. The good news? Patterns can change, and so can your relationship!

You’ve learned to hold it all together. To be dependable, thoughtful, and strong for everyone else. But underneath that, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to slow things down. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and difficulty expressing their needs. You might notice yourself replaying conversations, worrying about how you come across, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions while your own needs get pushed aside.

What would it be like if you felt at home with yourself? What would it be like if all the different parts of you had a space to feel seen, to be heard, and to come together? We can work together to get to know you — all of you. We will move toward the changes you would like to see for yourself by co-creating a space where you can feel safe enough to voice your truths and gain awareness of how past survival strategies impact your current day-to-day. In my work with couples and individuals, we address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma.

Things might look fine on the outside, but internally something feels off. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, anxious, or stuck in patterns that are hard to shift or explain. Therapy can be a place to slow that down and make sense of it. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relational or emotional overwhelm. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and paced with your nervous system in mind. Together, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface and build insight and tools that actually fit your life.

Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that keep showing up in your life, relationships, or sense of self? Is anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, grief, trauma, or a major life transition making it impossible to feel grounded, confident, or like yourself? Do you find yourself wondering why it feels so hard to slow down, set boundaries, or make space for your own needs? You do not have to carry all of that alone.

You look like you have it together but inside, it’s a different story. You overthink texts, replay conversations, and feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy. Saying “no” feels impossible, and relationships leave you anxious, drained, or second-guessing yourself. You might be the reliable, Type A one (or type B) - but it comes at a cost: constant pressure, people-pleasing, and never quite feeling settled in yourself or your relationships.

You're smart, successful, driven - but you're stuck. On the outside nobody would guess it, but on the inside you feel torn apart. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you simply don't believe it. You wonder if you have anxiety, or maybe it's ADHD, or maybe even depression or past trauma. You definitely know you can't relax, it's hard to even stay still. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how

You have tried to change on your own, maybe even tried therapy before, and you continue to feel stuck in the same patterns. Unfulfilled and struggling in relationships and life, disconnected from what matters most. Are you carrying something from your past that logic alone hasn't resolved? That's not a failure of willpower - trauma can be held in the body and nervous system; trying harder to think your way out of a reaction often doesn't work. At Sunspring, I work with adults who are ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the root causes, using approaches designed to reach and shift what talk alone often can't.

New Oct 6 - Is it the same fight again? The dishwasher, their phone at dinner, who was booking the plumber - it doesn't even matter what it starts about. By 10pm you're saying the exact words from last month, rehearsed in the shower so they'd come out "calm", and they still go nowhere. The rest of the time it's all logistics. What's for dinner, did anyone pay Rogers, can you turn over the laundry? You read the Gottman book, you know your attachment style, but you still Google "why do I always care more in my relationship" at 1:30am with them asleep right beside you. By Sunday you both just scroll on opposite ends of the couch.

You’ve always been the strong one—the helper, the overthinker, the one who keeps it all together. But lately, it’s been heavy. You’re feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected.

I offer a warm, collaborative, culturally grounded space where you don’t have to explain everything. You just get to be. Let’s begin.
