of therapy.

REBT Trained Strength-Based CBT Informed Solution-Focused

I work with professionals and high-achieving individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated after therapy that didn’t fully help. You may be struggling with anxiety, burnout, overthinking, or relationship challenges — and you’re ready for an approach that actually moves the needle.

I use a practical, insight-driven approach — including REBT — to help you understand your patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and move forward with clarity. Sessions are active and focused. I’ll help you challenge what’s holding you back, build effective coping strategies, and make changes that last in your daily life.

Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, recovering from burnout, or simply ready to live with more intention, I provide the space for depth, honesty, and growth. Starting therapy again — especially when it hasn’t helped before — can feel daunting. You deserve something that works.

Areas of focus

Burnout

For high-achievers running on empty — we work to identify root causes, rebuild sustainable habits, and restore a sense of purpose and energy without sacrificing ambition

Anxiety & Overthinking

Practical tools to interrupt the spiral. Using REBT and CBT, we address the thinking patterns driving anxiety so you can respond — rather than react — to life's demands.

Life Transitions

Career pivots, relationship changes, identity shifts — transitions can unsettle even the most grounded people. We create clarity and forward momentum during uncertain times.

Perfectionism

High-functioning anxiety often hides behind achievement. We explore where perfectionism comes from and build a healthier relationship with performance, failure, and self-worth.

Relationship Issues

Whether individual or couples work, we examine patterns in connection, communication, and attachment — helping you build relationships that are genuine and fulfilling.

Trauma & Stress

Using trauma-focused, integrative methods, we work through experiences that continue to shape how you move through the world — at a pace that feels safe and effective.
