You don’t have to keep holding it all together.

You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and used to being the one others lean on. But lately, life feels overwhelming. You feel stuck in your head — overthinking, people-pleasing, questioning your worth, or struggling to feel truly connected in your relationships. You might find yourself walking on eggshells, replaying conversations, or carrying the weight of everyone else’s emotions. You want relief, but more than that — you want clarity, confidence, and a way forward that actually feels like you.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

I help adults (18+) navigate the lasting impacts of complex trauma, anxiety, and difficult relationship dynamics. Whether you’re dealing with family-of-origin issues, intrusive thoughts, emotional burnout, or patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, therapy can help you finally feel grounded, safe, and more in control of your life.

Together, we’ll work to:

  • Understand and shift long-held patterns like people-pleasing, emotional avoidance, or self-doubt

  • Unpack the roots of your anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges

  • Build boundaries and self-trust without guilt

  • Reclaim your voice and start showing up more fully — in your life and your relationships

My approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. I’m not here to give you a quick fix — I’m here to walk alongside you as you untangle what’s felt heavy, and build something more peaceful and authentic in its place. I use an eclectic approach incorporating evidence-based practices cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), attachment theory, and others to cater treatment to your unique needs. After-all, you are the expert on you.

If you’re ready to stop shrinking, stop masking, and start showing up for you — I’d love to help.
