If your mind won’t slow down, you keep overthinking your decisions, or you feel stuck in patterns you can’t break, you’re not alone. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or frustrated that they understand what’s wrong—but still can’t seem to change it. I help you get to the root of those patterns so real change can happen. Instead of just managing symptoms, we work on understanding what’s driving them—so you can feel more in control, less reactive, and more confident in how you respond to your life.

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and people-pleasing—especially for people who tend to put others first or appear “fine” on the outside while struggling internally. As a lifelong athlete, I understand the pressure to perform, push through, and hold yourself to a high standard. That mindset can be a strength—but it can also lead to burnout, anxiety, and feeling like you can’t slow down. If this sounds like you, you can reach out for a consultation and we’ll see if it feels like a good fit.

In our first session, we'll explore what's bringing you in, identify patterns beneath the surface, and clarify goals for our work. My approach focuses on understanding deeper drivers so that change is meaningful and lasting.
