Great to meet you!

If obsessive romantic jealousy, including overthinking and constant reassurance-seeking, is taking over your relationship—and your ability to feel OK depends on your partner’s words and actions—you’re not alone.

When these struggles come from your own fears and reactions, you may be constantly questioning your partner, feeling threatened by other people who are around them, and compulsively searching for evidence of betrayal. When these struggles are shaped by your partner’s fears and reactions, you may be constantly accused, pressured to explain your every move, walking on eggshells, and avoiding others.

Whether you are feeling controlled by obsessive jealousy yourself, or trapped by a partner’s insecurity, the result is often the same: anxiety, conflict, and a growing sense that your relationship is controlling your life rather than enriching it.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping individuals battling with the impact of romantic jealousy on their self-esteem and relationships. I’m especially drawn to this work because I’ve been there. As a teen and as an adult. I understand how exhausting it is to feel like your peace of mind depends on another person, and how incredibly consuming the prison of jealousy is.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, curious, and focused on helping you feel more grounded and in control—not just in session, but in your day-to-day life and relationships.

I use a combination of insight and practical tools to help you understand your patterns, manage your emotional reactions, and respond differently in moments that usually feel overwhelming.

When it comes to jealousy overthinking, we won’t just talk about it—we’ll actively work on interrupting and slowing those patterns down and helping you feel more stable, more independent, and more like yourself again.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a space for you to talk openly about what’s been going on, without needing to filter or have everything figured out.

I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your experience, and we’ll begin identifying patterns that might be keeping you stuck. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, understood, and like you can be honest about even the thoughts and feelings that are hard to say out loud.

From there, we’ll start to get a sense of how we can work together to create meaningful change.
