You may be a good fit if you're…
Caught in loops
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same frustrating relationship or family patterns.
High-functioning but exhausted
Life looks "fine" on paper, but internal stress or burnout is weighing you down.
Losing sleep
Struggling with chronic insomnia, racing thoughts at night, or unrefreshing sleep that affects your whole day.
What I help with
Therapy that goes beyond just venting
Most people come to therapy because they are tired of repeating the same thoughts, emotions, or relationship patterns without real change. My approach is warm, practical, and insight-oriented — we work to understand the underlying dynamics that keep showing up and build more effective ways to respond in everyday life.
Pattern-focused
We identify recurring themes and dynamics — not just surface-level symptoms.
Insight that leads to action
Understanding the 'why' is only useful when it changes what you do.
Structured yet flexible
Sessions have direction, while leaving room for what matters most to you.
Practical, not abstract
You'll notice shifts in how you handle real situations — not just how you think about them.
Need support for insomnia or poor sleep?
Sleep struggles affect your mood, focus, relationships, and energy. I offer evidence-based support for chronic insomnia and racing thoughts using CBT-I principles as part of my ongoing advanced training from the University of Pennsylvania.
