I work with professionals and creatives who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking and burnout, despite doing everything “right” on the outside. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, questioning your direction, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone. High-functioning doesn’t always mean fulfilled, and it often takes a lot to even admit something feels off. My approach blends insight with practical strategy. Together, we’ll identify what’s been keeping you stuck, work through the internal pressure you’ve been carrying, and help you build a more grounded, clear, and sustainable way of moving through your life. Helping you create a life rooted in self-trust and intention is my goal.
You can expect a safe, judgment-free space where you can lay everything out. Whether it’s something that’s been weighing on you for months, or you're not even sure where to begin: I’ll guide the conversation with thoughtful questions and a bit of structure to help us clarify what’s going on, identify patterns, and understand what you want to shift or change. The first session is more about building a strong foundation. By the end, you’ll have more clarity around what you’re experiencing and a sense of direction for how we’ll move forward in a way that feels both supportive and actionable.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating a space where you can feel seen, understood, and safe before being asked to open up. I’m intentional in how I hold space, so you don’t feel rushed, pressured, or judged as you begin to share. At the same time, I’m not a passive listener. I bring structure, strategy, and practical guidance into our work so we can identify patterns, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and move toward meaningful change. Clients often come in feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, and leave with more clarity, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of direction.
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.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
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.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
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.
EMDR
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.

I always had a great time talking to Dr. Bernadin. She did a great job of reminding me who I am and the things I had control over. I felt very empowered every session.
