You spent your life being the responsible one, the dependable kid, the overachiever, the emotional caretaker. You learned early how to perform under pressure, and it worked… until it didn’t. Now you’re a capable adult running on shallow sleep, a clenched jaw, tension headaches, and constant irritability. You hold it together all day, then unravel at night. You’ve read the books (and listened to the podcasts) and understand the frameworks, but insight hasn’t changed how your body lives. You’re here because you want focused, effective work, not endless processing.
Therapy with me is active, structured, and direct. I’m quick to see patterns and help interrupt them before they turn into another spiral. We focus on restoring nervous-system steadiness, reducing internal pressure, and helping your mind and body work together again, without relying on willpower or pushing harder.
Over time, your breath slows without forcing it. Mornings feel quieter. You pause before reacting and choose rest without guilt. The world is still intense, but it no longer runs your body or your time. I help you stop managing symptoms and start changing the system, keeping you stuck. If this resonates, schedule a time to chat.

I work with high-achieving adults navigating burnout, anxiety, and long-term responsibility. Sessions are structured and evidence-based, informed by research on stress physiology and nervous-system regulation. We focus on identifying what's driving your stress response and targeting specific points of change. Clients often report greater steadiness, improved sleep, and reduced reactivity over time

I'm warm, direct, and fast at seeing what's actually going on. I work with capable adults who want therapy to work, not wander. Expect clear direction, practical tools, and honest conversations, with humor when it helps. If you're ready for focused, effective work, we'll be a strong fit.
