About My Clients

Most people start therapy feeling like they're carrying more than they can hold like pressure, responsibility, the constant sense that they should be further along. Over time, that weight tends to get lighter: more confidence in their own decisions, less dread before hard conversations, and a life that actually feels as good on the inside as it looks from the outside. If you're ready to stop carrying it alone, I'd be glad to connect.

My Background and Approach

I work with young adults who feel stuck in chronic anxiety, perfectionism, and self-imposed pressure. A lot of my clients have spent years pushing themselves to succeed, only to find that achievement never actually brought the peace or confidence they expected. Together, we'll look at the patterns keeping you stuck and build practical tools to help you move through life with more clarity and self-trust. Our work might focus on: - Quieting the constant overthinking and self-doubt - Building a healthier relationship with stress, expectations, and perfectionism - Trusting yourself without endlessly re-analyzing every decision - Moving toward your goals without sacrificing your well-being My approach is collaborative, direct, and LGBTQ+ affirming. You're the expert on your own life. I bring the clinical tools and a space where you can be honest about what you're actually carrying, without worrying about being judged for it.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people have a real capacity for growth, and that most of what we're working with, anxiety, perfectionism, the constant need to get it right, developed as patterns that made sense once, even if they don't serve you now. We can find where yours came from and build something that actually works better. I'll be straightforward: this work is personal to me. I've dealt with my own anxiety and perfectionism, and I know what it's like to feel like you're never quite doing enough. My own therapy helped me stop treating rest and self-worth like things I had to keep re-earning, and I'd like to help you get there too. Outside of work, I'm usually outside with my rescue dogs either exploring nature or gardening. I run an LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive practice, and that's not a footnote, it's part of how I actually work. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd love to connect.
