(she/her)
I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who appear “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck underneath. Many of my clients are successful, self-aware, and driven - but struggle with burnout, relationship patterns, or a constant sense of pressure they can’t turn off. I’m a more direct and engaged therapist than traditional talk therapy. I don’t just listen, I help you identify the deeper patterns driving your anxiety and work with you to actually change them.
The first session is a chance for us to slow things down and get oriented together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and more clear about how therapy with me can support you. We’ll review what’s bringing you to therapy, your history, and what you’d like to work toward goal wise. I’ll explain how I work, answer any questions you have, and begin to collaboratively shape a plan that fits your needs. Above all, the focus is on building trust and making sure the space feels right for you.
If you’re looking for therapy that goes beyond surface-level support and helps you truly understand yourself, we may be a good fit. My clients often share that what stands out in my approach is that they feel genuinely understood and motivated to make changes. My approach blends insight, compassion, and practical tools to help you move beyond awareness alone and into meaningful, lasting change. I bring my authentic self to every session, valuing honesty, and always offer my feedback with care.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT collaboratively to help you identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors, helping you develop practical tools that support meaningful changes in your daily life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Through IFS, I will support you in building a compassionate relationship with their inner child parts, fostering greater self-understanding, self-love, and emotional balance.
Psychodynamic
My psychodynamic work focuses on helping you understand how your past relationships and experiences influence your current patterns, allowing for the development of deeper insight & lasting change.
Mind-body approach
Understanding how the mind-body connection works helps in healing the nervous system, building resilience, and restoring emotional balance.
Trauma Informed Care
I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens that centers safety, choice, and empowerment. I aim to create a space where clients feel deeply seen and understood, while gently exploring the patterns shaped by past experiences and supporting new ways of relating to themselves and others.
