Great to meet you!

You may be the person everyone counts on, but that does not mean you are built to carry everything alone

You deserve to feel human, not just functional. You can be competent, capable, and still need help. Those things aren't in conflict.

I work with busy professionals, exhausted parents, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ individuals, who look "fine" but feel lonely, resentful, or stuck in survival mode. You want life to work without running on stress and guilt. Together we'll identify what's draining you and build practical boundaries, routines, and skills that calm your nervous system, protect your energy, and make daily life feel manageable and yours again.

You can verify your insurance in minutes and view my real-time availability directly through Headway — making it simple to get started.

My approach to therapy

My approach is direct, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel grounded, connected, and more in control.

We'll connect the dots between your past and present and build realistic habits, boundaries, and skills to support the life you want.

We’ll get to the root of what’s not working and build practical tools to help you regulate emotions, communicate more effectively, and shift long-standing patterns.

Our work will focus on nervous system regulation, improving emotional safety in relationships, and breaking out of survival-mode patterns that no longer serve you. Whether it’s building healthier boundaries, repairing trust, or learning to quiet the inner critic, we’ll create meaningful change that fits your real life.

What you can expect from me

If you're a professional or couple who's tired of explaining your life story before you can get to the actual work, you'll find a space where we can start from where you are. We'll focus on practical strategies for healing, connecting, and creating change that lasts.

You'll leave sessions with more than insight. You'll leave with real direction, stronger boundaries, and a clearer sense of what you're actually working toward.

If you're ready for a meaningful shift, let's talk.
