LCSW, 6 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I specialize in helping ambitious professionals and creatives break free from emotional blocks, burnout cycles, and old narratives that no longer serve them. Whether you’re overwhelmed by overthinking, disconnected from your joy, or simply tired of living on autopilot, I’ll help you find clarity, balance, and a deeper sense of self-trust. High-functioning doesn’t always mean fulfilled, and it takes courage to admit when success on the outside doesn’t match how you feel inside. Our work together will blend insight with strategy, so you not only release what’s been weighing you down, but also gain the mindset and habits to move forward with confidence and purpose.
You can expect a safe, judgment-free space to lay everything out. Whether it’s been sitting heavy on your mind for months or you’re not even sure where to begin. I’ll guide the process with questions and structured activities to help clarify your goals, patterns, and priorities. Our first session is less about having the perfect words and more about creating a strong foundation. From there, we’ll begin shaping a plan that feels both supportive and actionable, so you leave knowing what to expect from our work together.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating a space where you feel truly seen and safe before being asked to open up. I’m emotionally available and intentional in how I hold space for you to share without feeling pressured or judge.
If you’re ready to slow down, reset, and gain the tools to move forward with clarity and confidence: I’m here to help. Many of my clients wrestle with high-functioning anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, or unresolved experiences from the past that cloud their clarity in the present.
I use DBT to help you navigate life’s ups and downs by balancing acceptance and change. Together, we’ll explore how two things can be true at once... you can feel overwhelmed and still want to grow.
I use CBT to help you understand how your negative past experiences contribute to your thoughts, feelings, and pattern behaviors. Together, we'll acknowledge your past experiences and work towards breaking unhelpful patterns to move forward.
I use EMDR to help you process and release the weight of difficult memories or experiences that may still be affecting you today. Through guided techniques, we’ll reframe how these experiences live in your mind and body, so you can reduce emotional distress, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and freedom.

Wonderful first session with Dr. Bernadin. She was knowledgeable and created a comfortable space. I am looking forward to my next session with her.
