Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in the same relationship or life patterns? Many high-functioning adults struggle with chronic anxiety, burnout, or intense emotions that don’t match how “together” they appear on the outside. I specialize in helping adults understand these patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and navigate life transitions with more clarity and confidence. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and practical—focused on meaningful change, not just symptom management.
I help adults work through trauma and attachment-related patterns that show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or relationship difficulties. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, focused on strengthening emotional regulation, building insight, and developing healthier boundaries so life feels more stable, connected, and intentional.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, steady space to explore what’s been weighing on you, I welcome the opportunity to see if working together feels like a good fit.

I tailor therapy to each client's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from evidence-based and depth-oriented therapies, including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, narrative, and mindfulness-based approaches. My goal is to ensure therapy feels supportive, effective, and aligned with who you are and what you're working through.
