LPC, 14 years of experience
I’m a virtual therapist specializing in self-trust, confidence, and emotional recalibration. My work focuses on helping high-achieving, self-aware adults move beyond self-doubt, overthinking, and perfectionism by addressing the patterns that keep them in survival mode. Through a blend of evidence-based therapy, mindfulness, and emotional insight, I help clients reconnect with their intuition, regulate their emotions, and lead their lives with grounded clarity, self-leadership, and inner calm. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on creating lasting internal change—not just temporary relief.
During our first session, you can expect a conversation that balances curiosity with care. We’ll unpack what led you here, clarify what you want to change, and start mapping the emotional patterns that shape your day-to-day experience. This session sets the foundation for trust, insight, and meaningful progress.
What stands out about my approach is its blend of depth and practicality. I combine evidence-based methods like CBT, REBT, and mindfulness with emotionally attuned insight to help clients create real, lasting change—not just temporary relief. My work focuses on rebuilding self-trust and emotional regulation so you can lead your life with confidence, balance, and authenticity.
I’m best suited to work with high-functioning adults who appear put-together on the outside but feel anxious, disconnected, or self-critical on the inside. My clients are often thoughtful, driven, and emotionally aware—yet stuck in survival mode, overthinking, or people-pleasing. I help them rebuild self-trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and create a life guided by confidence and internal steadiness rather than fear or perfectionism.
We’ll start by identifying any unhelpful or distorted thinking patterns you may have. These might include things like catastrophizing (thinking the worst will happen), black-and-white thinking, or jumping to conclusions. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward change. Once we identify negative or irrational thoughts, we’ll work on challenging them. This involves questioning the evidence for and against these thoughts, looking at the bigger picture, and exploring alternative, more balanced perspectives. We’ll focus on restructuring distorted thoughts. For example, if you often think “I always fail,” we’ll work on reframing that to something more realistic, like “I’ve faced challenges before, and I can learn from them to improve next time.”
We start by exploring how you view and treat yourself, especially when you're feeling down or making mistakes. The goal is to shift from a harsh, judgmental inner voice to one that’s more compassionate and nurturing, like you would with a close friend. We’ll dive into how the brain processes self-criticism and compassion, including how certain areas of the brain are involved in self-judgment and others in nurturing. This knowledge helps to break the cycle of self-blame and shift to a more compassionate mindset.
In my therapy practice, Attachment-Based Therapy helps you understand how your early relationships, particularly with caregivers or significant figures, influence how you relate to others today. By exploring these dynamics, we can work on healing attachment wounds and improving your emotional connections in current relationships. If you’ve experienced neglect, inconsistent care, or emotional disconnection, these experiences can leave “attachment wounds” that impact your ability to trust, connect, or feel secure in relationships. We’ll identify these wounds and work toward healing them.
We start by identifying what you want to achieve. These are the practical, concrete goals you’re working toward, whether it’s overcoming a specific challenge, improving a relationship, or enhancing well-being. Together, we’ll explore your past successes, skills, and personal strengths to recognize what’s already working in your life. This empowers you to leverage those qualities in addressing current challenges.
If you’re dealing with negative thought patterns, we’ll work together to notice and detach from them. By practicing mindfulness, you’ll learn how to shift your relationship with your thoughts, preventing ruminating or falling back into depressive cycles.
