Great to meet you!

You’re doing well on paper—but it doesn’t feel that way internally.

I work with adults and high-performing professionals dealing with anxiety, overthinking, and burnout. Together, we’ll identify the patterns driving your thoughts and emotions, while building practical skills to manage stress and respond with more clarity and intention.

My approach blends mindfulness with evidence-based strategies to help you step out of autopilot and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach blends mindfulness with evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, DBT, MBCT, and MBSR. Together, we’ll identify patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and respond with intention.

I emphasize awareness—stepping back from automatic reactions and relating differently to difficult thoughts and feelings—while keeping our work action-oriented and aligned with your values and goals.

I am also a MBSR Certified Instructor through Brown University.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll take time to understand what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping to change or improve. I’ll ask questions to get a clear picture of your current challenges, patterns, and goals, while also making space for you to share at your own pace.

You can expect a calm, non-judgmental environment where we begin to identify practical next steps. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and how we can work together moving forward.
