My ideal client is someone navigating life on a razor’s edge, where emotions often hit with such force that they feel impossible to manage. They likely struggle with a heavy, paralyzing depression or the high-intensity turbulence of a personality disorder that makes them feel 'too much' for the people in their lives. They are exhausted by a cycle of crises, feeling like traditional 'talk therapy' hasn't been sturdy enough to hold the weight of their pain. They come to me during their 'stuck' moments—when the survival strategies they've used for years are no longer working and they feel a frightening loss of control over daily life.

Life is full of “shoulds.” Family, friends, and society often have a very clear idea of the path we’re supposed to be on, but we believe that peace and empowerment lie in finding your own path- worrying less about the expectations of others and more about what you want your life to look like. Taking an alternative path or changing route along the way is difficult. Therapy can help as you strive to be true to yourself on the journey. We offer a space where individuals learn to utilize their personal strengths to live their most meaningful lives, develop fulfilling relationships, and find true liberation.

I use an eclectic, person-centered approach, drawing on CBT, ACT, ERP, narrative therapy, attachment theory, somatic practices, and Internal Family Systems.
You’re capable and self-aware—but life and relationships can bring on anxiety, overthinking, or emotional shutdown. You may replay conversations, worry you’re “too much” or not enough, or struggle with self-doubt and shame. On the outside you function well; inside, you feel stuck and life feels overwhelming.
I work with men and women navigating anxious or avoidant attachment, grief, infidelity and betrayal, breakups, high-functioning anxiety, relationship issues and everyday worries that spiral. Many clients feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, withdrawal, or self-criticism, and together we will work to rewire these patterns.
