I work with high-functioning adults and couples who look fine on the outside but feel stuck on the inside: burnout, overthinking, emotional shutdown, or the same fight on repeat. You may be successful and capable, yet constantly "on," always managing, and running on adrenaline. When the pattern keeps coming back—especially if you’ve tried therapy before—we make it practical and measurable. We name the loop, track it in real time, and practice new responses that hold up in daily life. My style is direct, nonjudgmental, effective, and deeply attuned—with real humor—so you feel safe going deep and making real-life change.
Therapy with me is structured and active. We map triggers, build regulation and boundaries, identify turning points, and rehearse new responses in-session, so change holds between sessions. Often, anxiety or depression is a trauma-shaped survival strategy, and that’s where we begin. Expect skills + experiential, parts-informed work so insight becomes usable.
You’re not broken. Repeating loops are learned survival patterns, and they can shift. If you want therapy that goes deep and moves things forward, reach out for a brief consult to see if we’re a good fit and what next steps could look like.

I help adults and couples stuck in high-conflict cycles, shutdown/overthinking, or compulsive coping, often shaped by trauma, ADHD traits, or mixed-neurotype dynamics. Therapy is structured and active: we map triggers in real time and practice new responses that hold up in daily life. Expect steadier regulation, clearer boundaries, and a more workable connection.

I use an integrative, trauma-focused approach that blends DBT skills, IFS parts work, and experiential interventions for real-life change. My work is culturally responsive, with clear structure and direct feedback. For couples, I use Gottman as a roadmap and EFT-informed repair.
