Most of the people I work with are competent, high-functioning, and privately exhausted through a pattern they keep repeating. A relationship to themselves that's more critical than kind, or a life that looks fine on paper but doesn't feel satisfying. They tend to arrive after trying to think their way out of it alone and find that their patterns and thoughts haven't changed nearly as much as they would like. What brings them in isn't usually a single event. It's the accumulated weight of managing everything well on the outside while feeling disconnected, reactive, or stuck on the inside.
I specialize in helping individuals recognize these patterns and work toward a balanced life. I'm a LMFT with 14+ years of clinical experience. I don't just help you name the pattern. I help you understand what it was protecting you from, so a new one can actually take hold, not as a temporary fix, but as something that works under pressure.
If you're managing life well on the outside but feel stuck, reactive, or disconnected from yourself and how you would like to be, that's a good reason to reach out. You don't need to have it figured out before you walk in. That's what our time together is for. I offer a complementary consultation to make sure we are a good fit to work together.

I utilized a combination of Mindfulness as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. I also do not believe in one size fits all solutions so we will work collaboratively for solutions that work specifically for you.
