I offer therapy informed by clinical training and broad life experience. I work with adults who often appear capable on the outside but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults looking for greater clarity, steadiness, and a better understanding of themselves. I also work with college and graduate students navigating academic stress, anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, relationship challenges, identity development, and the transition into adulthood.
Many of the people I work with balance demanding academic, professional, or personal responsibilities. Whether you're a student, professional, athlete, first responder, or simply someone who feels the pressure to hold everything together, therapy offers a place to slow down, understand recurring patterns, and move forward with greater confidence.
My approach combines practical tools with deeper insight. I integrate CBT to help with anxiety and stress while using psychodynamic therapy to explore recurring patterns that may be limiting growth. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to you, with the goal of helping you build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.
