Are you feeling anxious and disconnected in your relationships, career, or personal life? Do you get stuck in cycles of overthinking that leave you drained and scattered? If this resonates at all, trust me when I say change is possible! I'm passionate about helping individuals understand and break free from unhelpful patterns, empowering them to experience clarity and inner-peace. Together, we'll work to set boundaries, identify your true goals, and create actionable steps to achieve them - without burning out. We'll create space to process and explore the deeper roots of your anxiety; looking at the past, present, and future you.

My approach to therapy is rooted in curiosity and warmth. I prioritize connecting with you to understand your unique experiences, challenges, and values. From there, we'll create a tailored plan that speaks to your needs. That could look like integrating practical tools & techniques to help you navigate emotions, uncover their origins, and build resilience.

Whether you're seeking clarity on your direction or feeling weighed down by overwhelm, I'm confident I can support you with getting to other side of it. Let’s create a path forward that feels grounded, aligned, and sustainable. I am a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR and offer this treatment for those interested. Message me to set up a free consult!
