Great to meet you!

I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns they cannot seem to break.

Many of my clients are high-functioning and dependable, but internally feel burned out, on edge, or disconnected. They often come in thinking it is just stress or life circumstances, but we begin to uncover how past experiences and long-standing patterns are still impacting how they think, feel, and respond.

My approach is direct, supportive, and practical. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness, but I focus on helping you understand what is actually driving your experiences so we can create real, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to you.

Some sessions focus on building tools to manage anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. Other times, we go deeper to process unresolved experiences that continue to show up in your thoughts, reactions, and relationships.

I use CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help you:

  • Reduce anxiety and mental overload
  • Process past experiences at a manageable pace
  • Break patterns that keep you stuck
  • Feel more grounded, confident, and in control

I believe therapy should feel useful, not overwhelming, and we move at a pace that works for you.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we will focus on understanding what is bringing you in and what is not working right now.

You can expect a conversation that feels relaxed but focused. I will ask questions to understand your current challenges, patterns, and goals, and we will begin identifying what may be contributing to your feelings.

By the end of the session, you will have a clearer understanding of the next steps and what working together will look like. Most clients leave feeling heard, understood, and more hopeful about change.
