Welcome — You Deserve to Feel Safe and Heard If you’re here, you might be feeling scared to reach out. Maybe you’re worried about being judged, or afraid you’ll end up with a therapist who only asks, “And how does that make you feel?” without truly helping. You may be: Feeling overwhelmed or like it’s hard to breathe. Carrying tightness in your chest from constant worry. Struggling with hopelessness and the sense that life is always against you. Hearing others dismiss your pain, telling you that you’re “overreacting.” Facing challenges in your relationship—whether it’s conflict, thoughts of divorce, or infidelity. Working through identity concerns (gender, body image, or self-worth). Feeling pressure to be perfect, or feeling angry, stuck, and stressed without healthy coping tools. If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know: you are not alone, and help is possible. Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to heal.
Our work together begins with connection. In your first session, I’ll gently get to know you and your story—not just through an assessment, but through honest conversation that builds trust. I may offer an attachment and trauma response quiz, because I’ve found that many people carry complex trauma that affects their daily lives, relationships, and sense of self. Understanding these patterns is the first step toward real healing.
My Approach as a Therapist I’m not a passive therapist who simply listens without direction. I’m action-oriented and committed to giving you practical tools and knowledge that move you forward. Throughout our sessions, I’ll provide you with: Educational resources, Videos, and handouts, Evidence-based interventions A personalized plan to support your growth and healing.I blend several therapeutic approaches—including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed CBT—to tailor each session to your unique needs. My goal is to help you find relief and progress as efficiently and compassionately as possible. My Specialties and Methods: Attachment-Based Therapy How we attach in childhood deeply influences how we connect as adults. Understanding these patterns is key to meaningful change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Learning to talk to yourself with compassion is the foundation of change. I’ll help you build emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills that empower you in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) We’ll identify and reframe the thought patterns that keep you stuck, and replace them with healthier, more balanced perspectives. Solution-Focused Therapy Sometimes, the fastest relief comes from focusing on the here and now. Together, we’ll find concrete solutions to immediate challenges.
I work best with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—whether that’s anxiety, emotional overwhelm, communication breakdowns, or relationship struggles. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware but have difficulty applying that awareness in real-time, especially when emotions run high. I help clients build the ability to pause, regulate, and respond more intentionally, rather than reacting from old patterns. My approach is especially helpful for those navigating attachment issues, past relational wounds, or difficulty feeling secure and understood in their relationships.
Couples Counseling
How we attach in our childhood impacts how we attach as adults.
Attachment-based
I use CBT and DBT, for behavior to change we need to learn how to talk to ourselves using dialectical skills, then we use cognitive skills to change.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I also can use a faster method, and look at the here and now, and what solutions we can use to solve one immediate issue.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
We use tapping on certain points on the body while focusing on what you’re feeling to help calm your nervous system and reduce emotional intensity.”
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
“I help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, and then we work on changing the patterns that are keeping you stuck.

Olivia is great and gave me some great strategies that have helped me stopped pulling my hair and other harmful behaviors. I have had therapy before that was unsuccessful but Olivia was up to the challenge and was never judgmental in her conversations with me. She is a great partner to have in your journey.
