You’re used to being the one others rely on but it’s starting to feel exhausting. You might find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or putting others’ needs ahead of your own, even when it leaves you feeling drained, stuck, or unsure of who you are anymore. If you’re navigating a life transition like early adulthood, unexpected life changes, or burnout, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what you actually want while managing everyone else’s expectations.
I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with codependency, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. Whether you’re learning how to set boundaries, build confidence, or break patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and create a more balanced life.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. I use cognitive and emotion-focused approaches to help you understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, so we can identify what’s keeping you stuck and create meaningful, practical change.

I use a combination of cognitive and emotion-focused approaches to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and past experiences shape your current patterns. This allows us to not only identify what's keeping you stuck, but also process the deeper experiences that may be driving those patterns.

We'll keep things real in session. You don't have to have the "right" words or have everything figured out. Therapy is a space where you can show up as you are, feel understood, and start making sense of what you're going through—without judgment.
