I work primarily with thoughtful, high-functioning adults and older teens who feel stuck beneath the surface. You might be struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, burnout, or uncertainty about identity, purpose, or relationships. You may feel trapped in old patterns, overwhelmed by transitions, or unsure of your next steps. You’re not seeking perfection or quick fixes — you want clarity, relief, and alignment between your values and choices. You’re ready to be honest, even if you’re unsure where to start.
My approach is grounded, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experience. I blend mindfulness-based CBT, motivational interviewing, and family systems thinking with space for deeper reflection. I help clients manage anxious or obsessive thoughts, build emotional resilience, and navigate life’s complexities.
Asking for help isn’t always easy, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to do this alone. In our work together, I offer a steady, supportive space to reflect, reset, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
