You’re high-functioning, "fine," and doing all the things—so why does it feel like you’re one minor inconvenience away from a total meltdown? Maybe you’ve spent so much time being who everyone else needs you to be that you’ve forgotten who you actually are. I specialize in working with women who are ready to stop "managing" their anxiety and start addressing the root of it. Often, that root is a lost sense of self. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition or realizing you’ve built a life that doesn’t actually fit you, I provide a space to figure out who you are when you aren’t performing for an audience.
I am not a "smile and nod" therapist. My approach is honest, relational, and intentionally witty. I believe therapy works best when it’s a human-to-human connection, not a clinical transaction. I will be straight with you about the patterns I see, and we will probably use humor to navigate the heavier moments.
I don’t have a magic wand, but I do have a clear lens and a commitment to being real with you. If you’re ready to trade the "perfect" facade for some actual peace of mind, I’m ready to get to work.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I pull from Relational Therapy and CBT, but I strip away the clinical coldness. Our work is centered on the idea that how you show up with me is often how you show up in the world. We'll use our therapeutic relationship as a "testing ground" to practice the honesty and boundaries you've been avoiding elsewhere.
