LPC, 5 years of experience
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in self-doubt? On the outside, it may look like you’ve got it all together, but inside, you’re battling feelings of overwhelm, sadness, and insecurity. You find it hard to say "no" and often put others' needs ahead of your own, leaving you drained. Perfectionism and people-pleasing keep you in a cycle where setting boundaries feels impossible. You wonder if you’re ever truly enough. In your relationships, you may feel emotionally disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or longing for deeper intimacy. I help individuals break free from the weight of anxiety, boost self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, heal from past trauma, and manage the stress of everyday life. For couples, I specialize in healing communication breakdowns, rebuilding trust, and fostering closeness, so you can reconnect and thrive together. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you'll feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll work through challenges with practical tools to help you reclaim your life and relationships. Come as you are, and let’s start this journey toward change.
In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. We’ll take time to get to know each other, talk about what’s been bringing you in, and begin to explore the goals you’d like to work toward. My priority is to make you feel heard, supported, and understood, so we can start building a strong foundation for growth and healing, at your pace, and in a way that feels right for you.
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the genuine connection I build with each client—I create a space where you feel seen, supported, and truly understood. I'm skilled at helping clients develop deeper self-awareness, uncover the "why" behind their patterns, and take meaningful steps toward healing and change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based methods that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of overthinking, emotional disconnection, or self-doubt, often driven by high expectations or past wounds. Whether you're seeking to feel more grounded, improve communication, or heal from emotional pain, I offer a supportive, collaborative space to help you move toward clarity, connection, and meaningful change.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship issues, and trauma by guiding them toward greater psychological flexibility. Rather than trying to eliminate painful thoughts or emotions, I support clients in learning how to accept their internal experiences while taking meaningful, values-based action. ACT’s emphasis on mindfulness, acceptance, and values helps clients move away from avoidance and toward living with intention and authenticity.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related responses. By increasing awareness of the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, clients learn practical tools to reframe negative thinking and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT’s structured, evidence-based approach empowers clients to make lasting changes and feel more in control of their lives.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients deepen emotional awareness and create secure, supportive connections, especially when working with couples or individuals navigating relationship challenges or attachment wounds. EFT helps clients identify and reshape patterns of disconnection by exploring underlying needs and emotions, fostering greater empathy, vulnerability, and responsiveness in relationships.
With Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients tap into their existing strengths and envision realistic, achievable goals. This approach is especially useful for clients seeking short-term, practical change, as it emphasizes what’s working, encourages hope, and builds on small successes to promote momentum and confidence.
