You’re a high-achiever, yet on the inside you feel overwhelmed and disconnected. When it comes to emotions or relationships, it feels like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle. Maybe communication feels hard- you feel distant from your partner, or even from yourself. I love helping individuals and couples who feel “stuck in their heads” experience what it feels like to reconnect: with themselves, their emotions, and the people they care about.

I help people navigate trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, family of origin wounds, addicted family systems dynamics and athletes adjusting to life transitions, drawing from her own experience as a former collegiate field hockey player). In a world that often feels overwhelming, where safe spaces to process, explore, and simply be are scarce, I am committed to creating a therapeutic environment where my clients feel seen, supported, and empowered.

I work with adult individuals and couples who are high-functioning but emotionally overwhelmed. Many are high achievers, codependent, or emotionally immature, and find themselves stuck in anxiety-driven or unbalanced relationship patterns. They suppress needs, manage others’ emotions, and say "I'm fine"—until resentment, anger, or shutdown takes over. My approach is past-aware, present-focused, and skill-based. Together, we interrupt patterns, regulate the nervous system, and turn insight into real-life change—especially in relationships. If your brain feels loud and tired of spiraling, snapping, or overgiving, this work is for you!

I work with kids, adolescents, and adults of all bodies, genders, sexualities, races, and cultures in a creative and relational way. Many of whom are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and disordered eating. Many have carried the weight of traumatic experiences for as long as they can remember. Many feel that they spend excess time worrying about food and their bodies and find it hard to engage fully in their lives. They continue to feel out of control of their relationships, their bodies, and their emotions. They feel numb and isolated on the surface, and deep down feel hurt and helpless.

Maybe what once worked for you isn't working anymore. I get it—I spent 20 years in the music and restaurant industries before becoming a therapist, and I've done my own deep work to understand why we get stuck.

In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.

We all have different parts of ourselves that show up in different ways at different times. It's often the case that what leads us to seek therapy is the feeling that some of our parts are showing up either as "too big" or overwhelming or as some sort of overreaction that we can't quite understand. My goal as a therapist is to help set the conditions we all need in order to better understand the different ways we show up in the world, and why. Anxiety, PTSD, depression and other trauma-related symptoms can improve in incredible ways when we take the time to understand why.
