If you’re constantly overthinking, feeling burned out, or unable to fully relax, life can start to feel exhausting. I provide virtual therapy for adults and young adults navigating anxiety, emotional burnout, intrusive thoughts, and a sense of being “stuck.” I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to hold it all together. My work is informed by experience in community mental health and dual-diagnosis treatment, and I take a strengths-based, client-centered approach focused on safety, emotional regulation, and helping you feel more grounded and confident.
Together, we’ll explore patterns and experiences that may be shaping your thoughts, reactions, and relationships. I integrate a psychodynamic perspective with cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-focused therapy, and parts work to help you build practical skills, manage symptoms, increase emotional flexibility, and create lasting change.
Healing doesn’t require certainty - small changes can begin today. We’ll start with steps that feel right for you.
