Do you feel like you have it together on the outside—but internally feel overwhelmed, stuck, or drained? You may be managing pressure to perform, navigating difficult relationships, or carrying the effects of past experiences that still show up in your daily life. Even with insight and effort, it can feel hard to break certain patterns or fully feel like yourself again. I specialize in working with high-functioning adults—including athletes—who are dealing with stress, complex trauma, substance use, or codependent relationship patterns.
I specialize in high-functioning adults, athletes and veterans who appear to have things together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or drained inside. I offer supportive, practical therapy focused on building healthier coping skills, improving relationships, and addressing patterns so you feel more balanced, in control, and like yourself again.
Clients often describe my style as compassionate, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should be a partnership where your goals guide the process, and together we build tools to foster resilience and meaningful change.
