Do you feel like you’re always holding it together but never fully at ease?
You’re the reliable one. You get things done. From the outside, it looks like you’re handling everything. But internally, your mind rarely shuts off. You replay conversations, second-guess decisions, and struggle to actually relax even when nothing is “wrong.”
I work with high-functioning, anxious adults who look put together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not good enough underneath.
Many of my clients have tried pushing through, staying busy, or even talk therapy but still feel stuck in the same patterns.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is key to creating meaningful change, and I strive to make therapy a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to explore, grow, and get to know yourself better. I came into this field of work because I am passionate about helping people navigate life challenges, to embrace their own true selves and live authentically. That is not easy to do in this world. My therapeutic style is warm, client centered, and collaborative. I will work along with the client to customize sessions to support needs and goals of treatment.

You’ve probably figured out most things in your life. Therapy may not have made that list — too surface, too slow, or the person across from you just couldn’t keep up. But something isn’t moving, no matter how well you understand it. A loss that sits wrong. A pattern that repeats. Something from a long time ago that still has weight. I work with high-functioning adults who are done with worksheets and want real depth — people who think hard, feel deeply, and are finally ready to do something about what they’ve been carrying.

Let me guess: you’re always the one thinking about what could go wrong and wish you could just relax and go with the flow like everyone else. You know these worst case scenarios probably won’t come true, but once they're in your mind, your body reacts like they're happening right now. So you analyze every decision, replay conversations, and second-guess yourself again. You're constantly in your own head, losing hours of your day to endless intrusive thoughts, doubt spirals, and “what ifs”. Your OCD or anxiety has slowly taken over more and more of your life and you feel stuck, hopeless, and don't know where to go from here.

Welcome. I believe that healing happens in connections. If you are frustrated or exhausted from trying to balance who you truly are with the heavy, invisible expectations around you, I hear you. You don’t have to carry this weight alone. Grounded in systemic and trauma-informed therapies, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where your brain and body can step out of survival mode and into true healing. Together, we will create an environment where you can safely process core emotions and restore your inner peace at your own pace.

I work with couples, individuals, and families who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, faith transitions/crisis, religious trauma, neurodivergence (ASD, ADHD), self-esteem related challenges, emotional exhaustion, a “never good enough” mindset, and relationship challenges.

If you’re someone who looks “put together” on the outside but internally feels anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted, therapy can help you understand why these patterns keep showing up. Many of the clients I work with are insightful and self-aware, but still feel stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or constantly feeling responsible for everyone else.
