I specialize in working with college students navigating perfectionism and anxiety, individuals healing from infidelity and betrayal trauma, and adults who grew up in chaotic or unpredictable homes and now struggle to identify what they feel or how to express it. When your nervous system learned to stay hyper aware, high achieving, or emotionally guarded, it makes sense that slowing down and tuning inward can feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
My approach blends evidence based therapy with insight, humor, and practical tools you can actually use in real life. I bring curiosity, honesty, and warmth into every session, along with a clear understanding of how anxious, overactive brains operate.
Therapy with me is collaborative and engaging. The goal is not to fix you. It is to help you feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself, without pressure to perform or have everything figured out.
