I bring my authentic self into the therapy space, creating a place where you can show up fully as you. I’m warm and supportive, but I’ll also be honest with you and gently challenge the patterns that keep you stuck—always at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. I lead with humanity, honesty, and plenty of laughter because I believe therapy should feel both safe and real.
I’ve been where you are, struggling to relax, constantly overthinking, and never feeling truly rested. You’re good at everything, maybe even great, and sometimes that feels like your entire identity. You take care of everyone and everything, and chances are you operate pretty well… until you don’t. When things start to unravel, slowing down or needing help can feel like a very real threat to who you are.
As a lifelong high-achiever and recovering people-pleaser I know the goal isn’t to becoming less ambitious, it’s about learning to feel safe in rest, imperfection, and authenticity.
You can still be great while finding a deeper sense of self and ease that lets you accept your limitations and care for yourself, too.
If you’re ready to find calm, clarity, and self-compassion, I’d love to help you get there.
Who I Work With
I work with high-achievers, people-pleasers, and overwhelmed adults who carry a lot emotionally, mentally, and in day-to-day life. My clients are thoughtful, capable, and used to being the one others rely on. On the outside, they’re functioning. On the inside, they’re tired of overthinking everything, feeling responsible for everyone, and holding themselves to impossible standards.
Many of the people I support struggle with anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, boundary issues, self-criticism, and the pressure to stay “on” all the time. They are ready for more than just a space to vent. They want a therapist who will help them understand the patterns driving their overwhelm and guide them toward real, sustainable change.
Individuals
Couples
I work with couples who care about each other but feel weighed down by miscommunication, recurring conflict, or emotional distance. Many of the couples I support are partners who function well in other areas of life but feel stuck in the same painful patterns at home—small disagreements that escalate quickly, unresolved hurts that linger, or a sense of drifting apart even though you still want to be close.
My clients aren’t looking for someone to take sides—they want a therapist who can help them slow down, understand what’s happening underneath the surface, and communicate with more clarity, honesty, and compassion. Together, we explore the relational dynamics, attachment needs, and protective patterns that keep you both feeling misunderstood or disconnected.
My Approach
-
Our relationship is the foundation of the work we’ll do together. From minute one of our first session, my goal is to empower you to be yourself in session and practice agency in your therapeutic process. You have autonomy and power in the therapy space and I will follow your lead to determine what it is you need from our work.
-
My clients are often BIG on productivity so they come in to session ready to do the work. They are then surprised (often pleasantly) to find that I am in no rush to “fix them”. Instead, we work at your pace to explore what is happening on and beneath the surface to create lasting change.
-
In a nutshell, I’m going to ask the hard questions gently. My role is to be a mirror for you, from highlighting the patterns in your stories and noticing the shifts in your mood in session. No judgement, just noticing so that over time you can do the same for yourself.
-
You’re not broken and you don’t need fixing. You are, however, human. And in that you have found a million ways to adapt, survive, and sometimes even thrive in this world up until now. That must be acknowledged and honored before we start to discuss what you think you need change.
-
One of my greatest sources of pride as a therapist is that my clients and I tend to laugh…a lot. Moments of humanity between us, callbacks from previous sessions, stories you share and weird metaphors I swear will change your entire worldview (or just shift it a bit) all bring levity and light into what is otherwise can be a very heavy space.
