I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and difficulty feeling grounded or emotionally settled in their daily lives. Many of my clients describe feeling highly sensitive to their environment, easily overstimulated, or as though they are “on edge” without a clear external cause. Others come to therapy noticing patterns of restlessness, burnout, or a sense of constantly “chasing” balance without ever fully arriving there. I also specialize in supporting individuals navigating guilt, people-pleasing tendencies, and long-standing family-of-origin patterns that impact self-worth and emotional regulation.
My approach integrates nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and cognitive insight work. We focus on understanding how anxiety shows up in both the mind and body, identifying triggers and patterns, and building practical skills for grounding, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.
Additionally, I offer animal-assisted therapy with my Labrador Retriever. Many clients find that the presence of a calm, supportive animal enhances feelings of safety, grounding, and connection during sessions, especially when working through anxiety or emotional distress.
