You carry a lot. More than most people realize. Maybe you’ve learned to push through no matter what. To be the strong one. To handle things on your own. But if you’re being honest, it’s exhausting. You keep moving, but it’s getting harder to hold it all together. Maybe you’ve gotten used to shutting things down, pushing feelings aside—because what choice do you have? But that weight doesn’t just disappear. I get why you’ve kept this to yourself. I know what it’s like to feel like you’re the one who has to have it all together—it takes a toll. Let’s be clear: You don’t need fixing. You’ve just been carrying too much alone.
I get it, and I’m here to support. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you start. You just need a space where you don’t have to perform—where you can be real. We’ll talk through what’s been weighing you down and start figuring out what needs to change. No judgment. Just a real conversation about what you want for yourself and how to get there.
Think of it like a strategy session for your life. We’ll break things down, figure out what’s in your way, and set a game plan for moving forward. You’ll leave with real tools and a new perspective—something you can actually use. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here.

I work with clients dealing with depression, overthinking, and feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. In our sessions, we'll unpack what's weighing on you, build coping skills that actually help, and create a plan that feels right for you. Over time, you can expect to feel more clear-headed, more in control, and less overwhelmed by the weight of it all.

I often use ACT and CBT to help you manage overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and stress. In our first session, we'll explore what's bringing you to therapy and decide the best way forward. With ACT, we'll focus on accepting what's out of your control and committing to actions that align with your values. With CBT, we'll work on shifting unhelpful thought patterns to improve how you feel and cope.
