Great to meet you!

I help adults with stress, anxiety, and relationship issues during major life transitions—especially people who are high-functioning but feel anxious or overwhelmed inside. This might be a breakup, a new role at work, a move, or preparing for parenthood. In times like these, stress and anxiety often show up as feeling on edge, irritability, overthinking, perfectionism, or exhaustion. You can be doing everything “right” and still feel overwhelmed. Together in therapy, we’ll work toward feeling calmer, more focused, and more emotionally aware, so you can show up more fully at work and with loved ones. You can expect less overthinking and more ease communicating in relationships.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, gentle, and highly collaborative. I regularly check in to see how our work is landing and what approaches feel most helpful. We’ll set clear goals and track what’s changing. Some sessions, you may need lots of space to talk freely. I’ll offer a steady, open presence and let you lead. Other times, you may want more guidance, and I’ll lead you through guided exercises that support the growth and healing you seek. I draw from my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR Therapy, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

What you can expect from me

You’ll have plenty of space to share what’s been weighing on you. I’ll ask gentle questions to help us unpack what you’re going through, make sense of the patterns underneath it, and clarify what support would feel most helpful. If this feels like a fit, you can use the calendar on this page to schedule a free intro phone call.
