I work with people who think deeply, care a lot, and feel worn down by demands of modern life. You may be managing stress that shows up across multiple areas—career, relationships, identity, spirituality. Part of you wants things to be different, while another part feels unsure. This isn't a problem, but a starting point. We move at a pace that respects where you are and recognizes that progress doesn’t have to be dramatic to be therapeutic. You're taking that first step toward a life that feels not only manageable, but meaningful.
My approach is structured and practical, and always centered on your unique values, goals, and readiness for change. I also bring humor and authenticity to therapy. Laughter can ease tension, reduce shame, and help you see old patterns with fresh perspective.
My work often focuses on three core areas:
(1) relationships, intimacy, and emotional connection, including dating challenges, communication issues, sexual concerns, and patterns of emotional shutdown or avoidance;
(2) career stress, burnout, and identity in high-responsibility roles, particularly healthcare professionals, caregivers, veterans, and emergency responders managing chronic stress, anger, or nervous system overload; and
(3) life transitions, meaning, and family roles, such as parenthood, divorce, caregiving, health changes, and moments when a role or identity no longer fits.
I look forward to working with you!
