Stop second-guessing yourself. Start feeling like yourself again.

Life can look successful on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside.

Maybe you're constantly overthinking, carrying the weight of everyone else's needs, or wondering why the same relationship patterns keep repeating. Perhaps you're navigating anxiety, unresolved trauma, burnout, a difficult life transition, or a relationship that's no longer working the way it used to.

You don't have to continue living in survival mode.

I help adults and couples move beyond simply coping so they can experience lasting emotional healing, healthier relationships, and greater confidence in themselves.

Using evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and nervous system regulation, we'll work together to understand the patterns keeping you stuck and create meaningful, lasting change.

Therapy for People Who Are Tired of Holding Everything Together

You may be the person everyone depends on.

You show up at work.
You take care of your family.
You appear calm, capable, and successful.

Yet inside, you're exhausted.

You replay conversations long after they've ended. You struggle to quiet your mind. You question your decisions and wonder why you can't seem to relax, even when life is going well.

You may find yourself:

• Constantly overthinking or worrying

• Feeling overwhelmed by perfectionism or self-doubt

• Experiencing anxiety that never truly goes away

• Repeating painful relationship patterns

• Recovering from betrayal or infidelity

• Carrying the effects of childhood trauma into adulthood

• Feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner

• Wondering why you can't simply "move on"

Therapy isn't about fixing what's wrong with you.

It's about understanding why these patterns developed, helping your nervous system feel safe again, and building a life that feels calmer, more connected, and more authentic.

Areas of Expertise

I help high-achieving adults and couples break free from anxiety, trauma, and painful relationship patterns through evidence-based therapy that creates lasting change.

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety isn't just excessive worrying. It can look like perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, panic attacks, difficulty relaxing, or feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions.

Together we'll identify what's driving your anxiety and develop practical tools to help you regain confidence, emotional balance, and peace of mind.

Trauma & EMDR Therapy

Past experiences don't have to continue shaping your present.

EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Whether you're healing from childhood trauma, relationship trauma, betrayal, or other painful life experiences, therapy can help you move forward without remaining stuck in survival mode.

Couples Counseling

Relationships naturally experience seasons of stress, conflict, and disconnection.

Using the research-based Gottman Method, I help couples improve communication, rebuild trust after betrayal or infidelity, strengthen emotional intimacy, and create healthier patterns of connection that last.

Whether you're hoping to reconnect or determine your next steps together, therapy provides a supportive space to move forward intentionally.

Women's Mental Health & Life Transitions

Major life changes often leave us questioning who we are.

Whether you're navigating pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, divorce, career transitions, burnout, or changing relationships, therapy offers space to process these experiences while building resilience and confidence.

You don't have to navigate these transitions alone.

Attachment & Relationship Patterns

Many of our current relationship struggles began long before our current relationships.

If you find yourself fearing abandonment, choosing emotionally unavailable partners, struggling with boundaries, or feeling disconnected despite wanting closeness, attachment-focused therapy can help you understand these patterns and build healthier, more secure relationships.

My Approach

Healing isn't about learning to "think more positively."

Real change happens when we understand both the mind and the nervous system.

My approach combines evidence-based therapy with warmth, curiosity, and genuine connection. Together we'll explore not only your symptoms but also the experiences that shaped them.

Every treatment plan is personalized because every client's story is unique.

I integrate:

• EMDR Therapy

• Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 3 Trained)

• Attachment-Based Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Exposure Therapy

• Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

• Somatic and nervous system-informed interventions

My goal isn't simply to help you feel better for today.

It's to help you create lasting change that continues long after therapy ends.
