From the outside, it looks like you've got it handled: the job, the responsibilities, the reputation for being reliable. Underneath, your mind rarely slows down: replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions you've already made, feeling guilty when you try to rest.

I work with young adults with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-imposed pressure. A lot of my clients are exhausted by overthinking and frustrated that doing everything "right" hasn't actually brought them any peace.

Together, we'll figure out what's keeping that cycle going and build real tools for managing anxiety and pressure Not just insight, but things you can actually use. My style is direct, down-to-earth, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Most people start out feeling like they're carrying more than they can hold. Over time, that tends to get lighter, more confidence in your own decisions, less dread before hard conversations, and a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks from the outside.

If you're ready to stop carrying this alone, I'd be glad to connect.

I believe you already have the capacity for self-understanding and growth. My job is to help you actually access it, not hand you a script. Sessions are personalized around your real goals, not a fixed curriculum.

I lean mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are feeding each other, especially the ones driving anxiety and perfectionism. From there, we build on what's already working for you and move toward what actually matters to you, not just what's supposed to matter.

Change takes time, and we'll build it step by step rather than rushing toward a fix. My role is to support and guide you through that process, session by session.

You can expect a space that's warm but honest. Somewhere you can say what's actually going on without it turning into a performance, and where I'll be direct with you, not just agreeable.
