Great to meet you!

If you're stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or old trauma patterns - even while juggling work, relationships, and responsibilities - I specialize in helping high-functioning adults regain clarity and stability.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re already carrying a lot. My approach is warm, direct, and highly intentional. I offer grounded insight, practical tools, and structured work that helps you make meaningful progress without getting lost in emotional overwhelm.

I respond promptly and aim to make starting therapy as seamless as possible.

What I Help With

  • Chronic anxiety + overthinking
  • OCD + intrusive thoughts
  • Trauma + PTSD
  • Communication patterns + relationship dynamics
  • Burnout, stress, and perfectionism
  • Existential concerns + meaning-making
  • Grief + life transitions

My Approach

I use evidence-based modalities (CBT, ERP, EMDR-informed strategies, somatic grounding) in a structured, collaborative way. Sessions are active, goal-oriented, and centered on helping you understand what’s happening and what to do about it. I work especially well with clients who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready for practical change. I do not offer crisis services.

What to Expect

Direct, straightforward feedback

Humor + grounded perspective

Tools you can use immediately

Clear structure and consistency

A steady therapeutic frame without emotional over-reliance

Schedule:

I take appointments between 11am and 4:30pm.

Ready to Start?

Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see whether we’re a good fit and discuss next steps.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is warm, direct, and deeply engaged. I balance insight-driven reflection with dark humor and practical tools to help you create meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore patterns, beliefs, and emotions that may be holding you back while working toward building a life that aligns with your values

What you can expect from me

Our first session is focused on clarity - understanding what’s going on, what you’re wanting to change, and what approaches will actually help you get there. We’ll talk about goals, patterns, and the kind of structure that supports your growth. If it feels like the right fit, we’ll map out a plan and move forward in a steady, collaborative way.
