You look fine on the outside. Maybe you’re even thriving professionally. But inside, you’re exhausted, anxious, or numb. You keep saying “I’m fine” when you’re clearly not. Maybe you’re coping in ways that aren’t helpful - withdrawing from people you love, pushing yourself to exhaustion, or doomscrolling for hours. Maybe you’re going through a life transition and the old version of you doesn’t quite fit anymore. Maybe you feel stuck, but aren’t sure what needs to change - or if you’re even allowed to want more. If you’re ready to stop going through the motions and build a life that feels authentic, let’s talk.
I specialize in helping high-functioning adults move from stuck to unstuck. We’ll use evidence-based approaches to work on anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. For motivated couples, I’m certified in IBCT, and I help partners break patterns and actually understand one another. Therapy with me is practical and collaborative.
You don't need to be fixed - you need space to figure out what you actually want, not what you think you’re supposed to want. Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating or like talking in circles. If you're tired of feeling stuck or going through the motions, visit my website to schedule a free consultation call online. Let’s see if we’re a good fit.

I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who look successful on the outside, but feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients are navigating the gap between cultural expectations and building a life that feels authentic to them. We'll work together to figure out what you actually want - not just what you think you're supposed to want.

I'm direct, warm, and practical. I don't do therapy that feels like talking in circles. We'll dig into what's truly going on, try new approaches, and build skills that actually work in your real life. I pull from CBT, emotion-focused therapy, and DBT skills - whatever actually helps.
