You might feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, second-guessing, or feeling out of control in certain areas of your life, even when you’re doing everything “right.” You may be used to pushing through or holding yourself to high standards, but are starting to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure how to move forward. Many of my clients want a more sustainable way to manage emotions, feel steadier, and make changes that last. I also support clients navigating health and body changes, including GLP-1 use, appetite shifts, eating patterns, and body image, while building a more flexible and sustainable relationship with food and self.
I take a practical, collaborative approach to help you understand patterns and make changes that stick. This might look like responding differently to urges, reducing overthinking, or building more consistency in daily habits. Therapy is structured but flexible, with space to both process and create change outside of session.
Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. If this resonates, I’d be happy to connect and see if it feels like a good fit.

I help clients navigate anxiety, self-esteem, and their relationship with food and body, along with stress, life transitions, and mood changes. Many are used to pushing through or holding themselves to high standards but feel overwhelmed or stuck in patterns of overthinking. Treatment focuses on understanding patterns and building practical tools to feel more grounded, in control, and confident.

I draw from CBT, ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches, depending on your needs and goals. I focus on creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported and understood. We'll take time to explore what's getting in the way and work toward changes that feel realistic and sustainable over time, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
