Who I Work With

My clients are often high-functioning, introspective individuals who may
look “fine” on the outside but are quietly struggling with a mind that won’t
stop spinning. They’re business owners artists professionals caretakers
and students—people who feel emotionally drained, stuck in loops of worry or rumination, or unable to break out of patterns that no longer serve them. Whether it’s panic attacks, a need for certainty, a harsh inner critic, or simply feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, I help you unravel what’s going on underneath— and build practical tools to move forward.​

Why I Do This Work

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation not a cold clinical experience. I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to be sensitive, analytical, and driven… and how that can spiral into anxiety, shame, or chronic tension if left un addressed.

I also believe in the power of reclaiming your thoughts, your voice, and your space in the world—especially if you’ve spent years managing emotions on your own. You don’t need to figure it out all by yourself anymore.

My Approach

I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through the Beck Institute and integrate ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) for OCD, mindfulness-based strategies, and insight-oriented techniques depending on what best fits your goals. Together, we’ll:

  • Understand the thoughts and beliefs keeping you stuck
  • Learn how to respond to intrusive or anxious thoughts without letting them hijack your day
  • Build emotional resilience
  • Set boundaries and develop healthier relationship patterns
  • Reclaim self-worth, confidence, and clarity

Therapy with me is both structured and empathetic. I guide you with expertise, but I also listen deeply. You’ll never be met with judgment or generic advice—just personalized, collaborative support that meets you where you are.
