You’re not falling apart. You may simply be exhausted from holding everything together for so long. You’ve built a life that looks successful from the outside. The career, relationships, and responsibilities, yet inside, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel understood, and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll work toward healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, greater emotional stability, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself.
I help adults and couples understand and shift long-standing relational patterns rooted in early attachment experiences, including emotional neglect, invalidation, and conflict. Together we work on building self-trust, healthier boundaries, and more secure, connected relationships using a warm, collaborative approach.
If you’re feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure how to create healthier boundaries, you’re not alone. Investing in yourself starts within, and when you're ready to make that step, I'll be with you the entire way.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in my practice. In our first session, we'll dive deeper into what brought you to therapy and the goals you hope to reach in our work together. With CBT/DBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and behaviors, and how to regain control by identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with healthier coping mechanisms.
