Great to meet you!

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and the exhaustion of feeling like you always have to hold it together. My clients are often high-achieving and self-reliant, the kind of people others lean on and are ready to have a space that's just for them.

My approach to therapy

My approach blends Psychodynamic Therapy, informed Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Brainspotting, depending on what you need most. I believe real change comes from understanding and processing through what's actually driving the problem, not only managing symptoms. Sessions are collaborative and direct. I'll be honest with you, and I'll invite the same from you. If faith is part of your life, we can definitely include that in our work together. It's never required.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your history and current life, and we'll start identifying what might be keeping you stuck. You can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where you don't have to have the right words or have therapy figured out.
