Many of the people I work with feel like they've outgrown old ways of coping but aren't sure what comes next—they've been the strong one, the caretaker, the achiever, yet still feel restless or stuck. In our work, I help you untangle those patterns, listen to what your emotions are really asking for, and build a steadier way forward.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, but I frequently integrate CBT in my practice—not only because it's evidence-based, but also because I find it can boost a client's confidence and build momentum toward future goals. CBT tends to be a shorter-term approach (often 8-20 sessions) with frequent check-ins along the way.
