How I can help
Support for the moments that feel too big to carry alone
Whether you're navigating a rough patch, a big life change, or patterns that keep repeating, therapy offers a steady space to slow down and make sense of it.
Anxiety & stress
Practical tools and deeper understanding for worry, overwhelm, burnout, and the pressure to hold it all together.
Relationships & couples
Rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect with the person you chose.
Life transitions
New parenthood, career change, loss, or simply feeling stuck. Find your footing in a season of change.

About me
Warm, direct, and grounded in real life
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation. My approach blends evidence-based methods with curiosity and warmth, so you can feel understood while also making real progress.
I've spent [X] years working with [populations or settings]. Outside the office I'm a [parent / gardener / runner / etc.], which keeps me humble about how hard it is to actually practice what we talk about.
