As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples move through the stuck places — whether it’s the quiet burnout of high-functioning anxiety, the overwhelm of living with ADHD, the weight of depression, or the stress of trying to do everything “right” and still feeling like it’s not enough. I work especially well with individuals who are accustomed to performing at a high level — academically or professionally — often driven by a perfectionist. With couples, I focus on navigating high-conflict dynamics, breakdowns in communication, unequal division of labor, and intimacy challenges.
I’ll be honest: I don’t claim to have all the answers. But what I bring to every session is care, honesty, attentiveness, direction, and a genuine commitment to walking alongside you. I approach therapy with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy. Each journey is unique. I’m ready to start with you. Are you?
You don’t have to choose between being high-achieving and being emotionally well. You don’t have to keep walking on eggshells in your relationship. Therapy Journey can help you build something steadier — within yourself, and in the relationships that matter most. Therapy with me is not about perfection — it’s about presence, growth, and real connection.
