Therapist | Young Adults & Adults

Anxiety & Trauma • Burnout & High Achievement • Relationships • Identity & Self-Worth

I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the pressures that can come with trying to manage many different parts of life at once.

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and whole-person. Therapy with me is a place to feel heard, but it can also be a space to ask difficult questions, challenge familiar narratives, and give voice to things that may have gone unsaid. I bring curiosity, candor, and a sense of humor into our work, with trust at the center of the therapeutic relationship.

You Might Be a Good Fit If...

  • Anxiety, stress, or past experiences are affecting how you feel or function

  • You’re successful on the outside but increasingly exhausted, overwhelmed, or burned out

  • Perfectionism or high expectations make it difficult to slow down

  • You’re navigating a career transition or questioning what comes next

  • You and your partner keep getting caught in the same communication or relationship patterns

  • You’re struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, or codependency

  • You want to better understand your identity, values, or sense of self

  • You’re looking for therapy that is supportive but also willing to explore what may be difficult to confront

My Approach

My therapeutic approach may incorporate:

Attachment-Based Therapy
Systems & Relational Therapy
Narrative Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Interventions
Strengths-Based Therapy
Trauma-Informed Care

The specific approach we use will depend on your individual needs, experiences, and goals.

I believe therapy should offer more than a place to be heard. It can also be an opportunity to examine the stories you’ve come to believe about yourself, recognize patterns that aren’t always easy to see, and have conversations that may feel difficult but important.

My approach is integrative, which means I don’t expect every person or relationship to fit into a single therapeutic model. I consider your individual experiences alongside the relationships, environments, identities, and broader systems that shape your life.

Depending on your needs, our work may draw from attachment-based, relational, narrative, solution-focused, mindfulness-based, strengths-based, and other evidence-informed approaches. I bring curiosity and candor to our work while creating room for conversations that can be both challenging and deeply affirming.

How I Can Help

Anxiety, Trauma & Life Transitions

Anxiety and trauma can shape how you respond to stress, relationships, uncertainty, and change. Sometimes the patterns that once helped you cope begin to feel limiting or no longer fit the life you’re trying to build.

Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing, understand the patterns underneath it, and develop healthier ways of responding. Whether you’re processing difficult experiences or navigating a significant transition, therapy can create space to move forward with greater clarity and intention.

High Achievement, Burnout & Professional Well-Being

Being capable and accomplished doesn’t protect you from exhaustion. High-achieving professionals, executives, athletes, and others in performance-driven environments can find themselves carrying intense expectations while struggling to create room for rest, relationships, or parts of life that exist outside of achievement.

I help clients explore perfectionism, performance-related stress, professional burnout, work-life balance, career transitions, and the expectations they place on themselves. My own background in strategy, communications, corporate leadership, and athletics gives me an informed perspective on the environments in which these pressures often develop.

Couples, Relationships & Intimacy

Relationships can expose patterns around communication, attachment, trust, boundaries, intimacy, and emotional needs that are difficult to recognize from inside the relationship.

I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand these patterns and build healthier, more intentional ways of relating. My approach is sex-positive and affirming and can include concerns related to intimacy, codependency, communication, consensual nonmonogamy, polyamory, and other diverse relationship structures.

Trauma, Depression & Emotional Healing

Trauma and depression can affect the way you see yourself, relate to others, and experience everyday life. Sometimes difficult experiences remain present through emotional reactions, physical sensations, avoidance, or patterns that are hard to change through insight alone.

When appropriate, I incorporate EMDR alongside trauma-informed, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help you process difficult experiences while building greater emotional stability and connection.

Identity, Self-Worth & Boundaries

Questions about identity and self-worth can show up in relationships, careers, family roles, and the expectations you carry for yourself.

Therapy can provide space to examine the narratives that have shaped how you see yourself, recognize where people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries may be affecting your life, and develop a stronger connection to what you actually value and need.
