If you keep having the same fight, feel anxious in relationships, or you’re tired of overthinking every interaction, therapy can help. I help you understand the patterns underneath the conflict, communicate more clearly, and set boundaries without guilt. The goal is less walking on eggshells and more feeling secure, respected, and like yourself, whether it’s dating, marriage, or family.

If your mind is always on, you replay conversations, or your body feels tense even when nothing is “wrong,” that’s anxiety, and it’s exhausting! In therapy, we’ll slow the spiral, learn how to step back from anxious thoughts, and build ways to handle big emotions without getting pulled under. You’ll also get clearer on what matters to you and take small steps forward with more confidence!

If you keep asking, “Why do I always end up here again?” psychodynamic work can be really helpful. We look at the deeper patterns underneath your reactions—how past experiences shaped what feels safe, what feels triggering, and how you learned to cope. The goal isn’t to blame the past, but to understand yourself better so you can change the pattern with more choice.

CBT is helpful when your mind gets stuck in spirals. I’m trained through the Beck Institute, and I use CBT to help you catch anxious thoughts in real time, question the ones that aren’t serving you, and practice new responses that reduce stress and build confidence. For sleep, I also offer CBT-I (trained through the University of Pennsylvania). CBT-I is a structured, skills-based treatment (not open-ended talk therapy) and it’s more intensive. I offer it upon request when sleep is a main goal.

ACT is for those moments when you can’t “think your way out” of how you feel. We learn how to make space for hard emotions and anxious thoughts without letting them run your life. We also get clear on your values (what matters most to you) and take small, meaningful steps in that direction, even when strong emotions show up.
