I specialize in helping adults with anxiety, work stress, burnout, and challenging life transitions find clarity, calm, and sustainable coping. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who appear “fine” on the outside but feel mentally exhausted, emotionally stuck, or uncertain about their next steps. I offer a calm, supportive, and practical therapy space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself, or hold everything together. Together, we focus on clarity, emotional regulation, and building tools that support real, sustainable change.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is focused on helping you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re currently struggling with, and what you hope to gain from counseling. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. My role is to help you slow things down, clarify what’s most important, and begin identifying areas where therapy can be most helpful. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of your goals and next steps.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is helping clients make sense of overwhelm. I’m skilled at identifying patterns related to anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, and overfunctioning, and translating those insights into actionable tools. Clients often describe my approach as grounding, validating, and goal-oriented. I create a therapeutic space that is structured yet flexible—supportive without being passive—so clients feel both emotionally safe and empowered to change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to work with adults who: Experience anxiety, chronic stress, or emotional exhaustion, Feel burned out from work or caregiving roles, Are navigating life or career transitions, Struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or pressure to perform, Want therapy that is reflective, practical, and focused on growth My ideal clients are open to self-exploration, motivated to feel better, and ready to develop healthier ways of coping during challenging seasons of life.
