About My Clients
My clients are often the people everyone else relies on. They're capable, responsible, and successful by most measures—but they're also exhausted. They spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking, anticipating problems, and trying not to let anyone down. Many struggle with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or major life transitions. They want relief from the constant pressure they put on themselves and a way to feel more present, balanced, and connected to who they are.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in helping high-functioning adults navigate anxiety, stress, burnout, people-pleasing, and chronic overwhelm. Many of the people I work with are used to handling everything on their own, but have reached a point where their current coping strategies are no longer sustainable. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), evidence-based approaches that help people understand the patterns driving their distress while developing concrete skills to respond differently. I also integrate positive psychology, which means we pay attention not only to challenges but also to strengths, resilience, and values. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build tools for managing difficult emotions, and create changes that feel realistic and sustainable in your everyday life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe many people who struggle with anxiety and burnout aren't lacking strength—they've been relying on strength for too long. The qualities that help people succeed professionally and personally—being responsible, dependable, achievement-oriented, and caring deeply about others—can also leave them feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and exhausted. I don't believe therapy is about fixing what's wrong with you. Instead, it's about understanding the patterns that developed for good reasons, deciding which ones still serve you, and creating space for new ways of living. I also believe meaningful change happens when insight and action work together. Understanding yourself is important, but so is learning practical ways to manage stress, set boundaries, navigate emotions, and respond differently to the pressures of daily life. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can stop performing competence and simply be human.
