Overthinking, chronic stress, and anxiety can make everyday life feel overwhelming. If you’re stuck in a cycle of worry, people-pleasing, or panic, I’m here to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be. My approach is grounded and collaborative—I’ll bring practical, science-based tools and compassionate support to help you feel more balanced and connected.
I’m easy-going and compassionate while also being practical and proactive. My goal is for you to feel truly seen and heard while gaining real tools and insights that help you feel more balanced and in control. Together, we’ll turn down the overwhelm and help you feel more connected.
I work with people who are used to keeping it all together but are feeling weighed down by anxiety and burnout. My clients walk away from therapy with a greater sense of balance and control, stronger boundaries, and a better relationship with themselves. It’s possible to feel better—and I’m here to help you get there.
