Welcome — I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve spent a long time feeling misunderstood, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or unsure how to move forward. Many of my clients come to therapy struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, self-worth issues, attachment wounds, or feeling disconnected from themselves and the people around them. Some are navigating conflict, betrayal, burnout, identity concerns, or simply feeling “stuck” despite trying hard to hold everything together. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, understood, and challenged in a healthy way. I take a compassionate but active approach to therapy — helping clients not only process emotions, but also understand their patterns, regulate their nervous system, and build practical tools for lasting change. You do not have to figure everything out alone.
Our work together begins with connection. In the first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood—not judged or rushed. We’ll spend time getting to know your story, current struggles, relationship patterns, emotional stressors, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Rather than feeling like a cold assessment, I aim for our first session to feel like an honest and supportive conversation that helps build trust and direction for our work together. Depending on your needs, I may also introduce attachment or trauma-response assessments to help us better understand patterns related to anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationships, coping styles, or nervous system responses. Many people carry experiences and survival patterns that impact daily life without fully realizing it. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical. Together, we’ll begin identifying patterns, building insight, and developing tools that help you feel more emotionally grounded and empowered moving forward.
I’m not a passive therapist who simply listens without helping you move forward. My approach is collaborative, structured, and action-oriented. I work to help clients better understand their emotional patterns while also providing practical tools they can apply in everyday life. In our sessions, you can expect: Psychoeducation and insight into emotional/relationship patterns Practical coping and regulation strategies Educational resources, handouts, and reflective exercises Evidence-based interventions tailored to your needs A supportive space that balances validation with growth and accountability I integrate several therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT-informed strategies, Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Informed care. I tailor sessions to each individual or couple based on their goals, emotional needs, and relationship dynamics. My goal is to help clients feel more emotionally grounded, self-aware, and capable of creating lasting change—not just temporary relief.
I work best with individuals and couples who feel stuck in emotional or relationship patterns they don’t fully understand. Many of my clients are insightful, high-functioning, and self-aware, but still find themselves overwhelmed by anxiety, emotional reactions, communication struggles, or relationship stress. Often, they know why they react the way they do—but have difficulty slowing things down in the moment and responding differently when emotions become intense. My approach focuses on helping clients understand their attachment patterns, nervous system responses, and relational wounds so they can build healthier communication, emotional regulation, and more secure relationships. I especially enjoy working with clients navigating: anxiety and overthinking attachment and relationship issues emotional overwhelm communication breakdowns self-esteem and relational insecurity trauma and nervous system dysregulation couples struggling with pursue/withdraw cycles My goal is to help clients feel more emotionally grounded, self-aware, and connected—both to themselves and the people they love.

Attachment-based
I utilize an attachment-based approach to help individuals and couples better understand how early relational experiences influence present emotional responses, communication patterns, and relationship dynamics. Many clients recognize recurring patterns in relationships but struggle to understand why they continue happening. In therapy, I help clients identify attachment wounds, emotional triggers, and nervous system responses that impact connection, trust, and emotional safety. My approach focuses on increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to build healthier, more secure relationships.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate DBT-informed strategies to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is especially helpful for clients who experience emotional overwhelm, impulsive reactions, relationship instability, or difficulty calming their nervous system during stress. I often integrate grounding techniques, nervous system regulation skills, and structured communication tools into sessions.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use a solution-focused approach to help clients identify strengths, build insight, and create realistic, manageable goals. While exploring underlying patterns is important, I also focus on helping clients develop practical strategies they can apply in daily life and relationships. My approach emphasizes progress, self-awareness, and helping clients recognize small but meaningful changes over time.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I incorporate emotionally focused techniques to help clients recognize and slow down reactive cycles that occur in relationships. I work with couples and individuals to identify underlying emotions, unmet needs, and patterns of pursuit, withdrawal, defensiveness, or emotional shutdown. My approach emphasizes creating emotional safety, improving communication, and helping clients respond more intentionally rather than reacting from fear, overwhelm, or past relational wounds.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we explore how negative thought patterns, anxiety, self-criticism, and emotional assumptions impact daily functioning and relationships. I help clients build practical coping strategies, increase emotional awareness, and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation.

Olivia helped me get my relationship and my life back on track. I understand myself and my partner a lot better now and I'm now confident and secure in our ability to navigate life's challenges.

Olivia is exactly what my partner & I needed in a couples therapist! We were so stuck for so long but Olivia was able to give us the tools to start making progress, stop taking things so personally, recognize & manage our triggers, hold ourselves accountable, & stop repeating the behavior patterns that were keeping us stuck. Figuring out they "why" behind the behaviors was the most transformational. I'd recommend Olivia to any couple who feels they can't get on the same page.

In our first session, she did a good job quickly identifying a path for therapy that my wife and I both felt excited to move forward with.
