I’m a licensed marriage & family therapist offering short-term therapy to individuals who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or disconnected underneath. My approach is humanistic and insight-oriented, grounded in curiosity, warmth, and deep respect for your lived experience. I believe therapy is not about fixing you — it’s about helping you understand yourself more clearly so you can move through life with greater intention, resilience, and connection.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. My goal is to understand what brings you in, what feels stuck or painful, and what you hope might change. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to get a sense of your patterns, stressors, relationships, and strengths. You can expect a calm, non-judgmental space where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out. By the end of the session, we’ll begin identifying themes and outline a direction for our work together — one that feels collaborative and aligned with your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my work is the balance between depth and practicality. I help clients move beyond surface coping and into meaningful insight — understanding the “why” behind patterns — while also developing tools that support real change in daily life. I integrate approaches such as EMDR for trauma and emotional processing, relational and attachment-based work, and humanistic psychotherapy. Clients often tell me they feel deeply understood, gently challenged, and clearer about themselves after our work. I am particularly attuned to burnout, high achievement culture, identity transitions, and the invisible pressure many professionals carry.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with thoughtful, motivated individuals who are ready to look inward. Many of my clients are ambitious professionals navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, or relationship strain. They often value growth, insight, and emotional depth — even if vulnerability doesn’t come easily at first. I’m especially well positioned to support: - High-achieving individuals feeling overwhelmed or disconnected - Professionals questioning career direction or identity - Individuals processing trauma or persistent relational patterns If you are reflective, open to growth, and willing to engage in honest exploration, we will likely do meaningful work together.
EMDR
I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist who uses this evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to help clients process distressing memories, reduce emotional reactivity, and restore a sense of internal stability. Her EMDR work emphasizes careful preparation, pacing, and collaboration, ensuring clients feel supported and resourced throughout the process. Rather than forcing exposure or reliving, EMDR is used to help the nervous system safely reprocess experiences that remain “stuck,” allowing for greater clarity, flexibility, and emotional relief over time.
Humanistic
Humanistic psychotherapy is the foundation of my work. I believe people have an inherent capacity for growth when they feel safe, understood, and accepted. My role is to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with honesty and self-compassion. Rather than positioning myself as the expert on your life, I work collaboratively, helping you deepen insight, clarify values, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel buried beneath stress or achievement pressure. This approach is especially meaningful for clients navigating burnout, identity shifts, anxiety, or relational patterns who want not just symptom relief, but greater authenticity and alignment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when clients would benefit from practical tools to address anxiety, stress, or unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT helps us examine the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and identify cycles that may be reinforcing distress — such as perfectionism, rumination, or catastrophic thinking. Together, we challenge rigid beliefs, test alternative perspectives, and develop concrete strategies that increase flexibility and agency. I use CBT in a thoughtful, individualized way, integrating it with deeper insight-oriented work so that cognitive tools support lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.
