I help clients understand and manage anxiety by looking at both the root causes and how it shows up in the present. Together, we explore patterns, triggers, and underlying fears while building practical tools to regulate your nervous system, shift unhelpful thoughts, and feel more grounded. My goal is to help you feel less overwhelmed, more in control, and able to move through life and relationships with greater ease and confidence.

I support women navigating challenges related to self-worth, relationships, life transitions, and identity. Many of my clients feel pressure to have it all together while quietly struggling with anxiety, comparison, and feeling behind. Together, we create space to process these experiences, build self-trust, and develop a more grounded, confident way of showing up in both life and relationships.

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how your past experiences and unconscious patterns influence your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today. It helps bring awareness to underlying themes that may be shaping your behavior, often outside of your awareness. By exploring these patterns, we can create insight, deepen self-understanding, and support lasting emotional and relational change.

Family systems therapy looks at how your family dynamics and early relationships have shaped the way you think, feel, and relate to others. It helps us understand patterns, roles, and beliefs that may still be influencing you today. By exploring these dynamics, we can begin to shift what no longer serves you and create healthier, more intentional ways of showing up in your life and relationships.

I help clients understand their attachment patterns and how they shape the way they show up in relationships. Together, we explore how early experiences influence fears, needs, and behaviors in dating and connection. From there, we work on building self trust, emotional regulation, and healthier ways of relating so you can feel more secure, grounded, and confident in your relationships.

Attachment theory helps us understand how our early relationships shape the way we experience connection, trust, and closeness as adults. It explains why we may feel anxious, avoidant, or more secure in relationships. By understanding your attachment style, we can make sense of your patterns and begin creating new ways of relating that feel safer, more balanced, and more fulfilling.
