Life isn’t falling apart, but it doesn’t feel settled either. You’re responsible, driven, and maybe even doing well by most standards—yet stress, conflict, or anxiety about the future (including work and money) leaves you restless. In therapy, we slow down, notice what’s fueling the unrest, and practice healthier ways of living. I practice Restoration Therapy, which helps people break the cycles of pain and reactive coping that often show up in relationships, work, and self-image. Together, we’ll uncover the deeper messages driving your stress and build practical skills for living with peace, clarity, and purpose.
I also integrate approaches from logotherapy and existential therapy (focusing on meaning and direction), mindfulness (learning to regulate stress in body and mind), and narrative therapy (rewriting unhelpful stories about identity, money, or success). For couples, I draw from attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to help partners reconnect.
You don’t have to keep carrying this weight alone. If you’re ready for a space that’s calm, honest, and focused on your growth, I’d be honored to walk with you.
