High-performing doesn’t always mean at peace. You might be a business owner, creative, or graduate student who feels overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected — even when life looks “successful” on the outside.
Many of my clients are trying to push through stress, anxiety, burnout, ADHD, intrusive negative thoughts or big life transitions. They might also be exploring identity — whether that’s sexuality, purpose, or how they want to show up in their relationships and in their life. Like them, you're ready for something deeper than just coping. Together, we focus on cultivating resilience, self-trust, and emotional well-being.

To be human is to feel great joy, as well as have times of pain. Sometimes along the way, we may need support to address and re-balance the difficult and joyful aspects of our daily life. I listen closely to the needs and experiences of each individual and support his or her unique ability to heal. I believe that each of us has the intrinsic capacity to recognize how to grow in a healthy way. My approach to treatment is grounded in the belief that each person possesses innate, inner resources that they can use to heal, grow, and thrive.

Who are your ideal clients?
My ideal clients are people who feel stuck or blocked in patterns like anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, or unwanted habits and are ready to change. Many come to me feeling overwhelmed or frustrated because they’ve tried to fix things consciously, but something deeper is still holding them back. With over 16 years of experience helping individuals create real, lasting change, I work with clients at the subconscious level to break these patterns and move forward with more clarity, confidence, and control.

The mere thought of therapy can be daunting, while in actuality most of us ask for advice from those around us everyday. What makes therapy different from asking a coworker, friend or relative for their advice, is my approach to therapy. I believe therapy is allowing you the space to work out issues, the space to feel free and learn about yourself in new ways. Therapy is looking at your thoughts and behavioral patterns for maximum effectiveness to your desired goals. My approach is best summed up in a quote by Benjamin Franklin, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

My clients are often thoughtful professionals who are driven, reflective, and emotionally attuned. Many of them find themselves stuck - such as being overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, even after years of personal growth. I work with both individuals and couples to navigate anxiety, burnout, and relationship stress through a blend of existential therapy, ACT, and mind-body approaches such as hypnosis. I've completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 & 2, and I integrate its principles combined with attachment theory to help partners communicate with greater clarity, emotional honesty, and compassion.

It's 2am. You're replaying a conversation from last Tuesday, the one where you said yes when your whole body meant no. Again. You scan every exchange for what you did wrong, what made them pull away, what made them harder to please. For years, people close to you have called you "too sensitive," "too needy," "too much." So you got quieter. Smaller. You over-accommodate, then rehearse apologies for things that weren't yours to carry. And somewhere underneath, a thought keeps surfacing: was it really that bad? Maybe I overreacted? Something has to change.

How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviors. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualization or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
