My website
I work primarily with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck in patterns they can’t fully explain. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who appear put together externally while internally struggling with self-worth, trauma, identity, anxiety, burnout, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, or the pressure of constantly holding everything together for others. Through an authentic, collaborative, and insight-oriented therapeutic relationship, I help clients better understand themselves, process difficult emotions, improve relationships, and create meaningful change.
I specialize in anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, identity development, emotional regulation, and relationship difficulties. My approach blends insight-oriented therapy with practical tools, helping clients better understand themselves while creating meaningful and lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re used to handling everything on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin moving toward the life and relationships you actually want.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, emotional overwhelm, and chronic patterns of over-functioning. Treatment focuses on understanding the deeper emotional patterns beneath your symptoms while building healthier ways of coping and relating. Clients often gain greater clarity, emotional stability, and self-understanding over time.
