Currently Accepting New Clients
You may understand why you react the way you do and still feel unable to stop the anxiety, shutdown, resentment, or relationship patterns that keep taking over. I provide direct, trauma-informed therapy that helps you understand what is happening and develop practical ways to respond differently.
Individual therapy: $120
Couples therapy: $135
Evening and weekend telehealth appointments available.
Understand how past experiences continue to shape your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety.
Move beyond constant overthinking, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
Build healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and deeper connection.
You may look like you're holding everything together. You go to work, answer messages, take care of otherse, and you keep moving forward. Underneath, you might feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, irritable, or simply worn down.
Therapy isn't about pretending everything is okay. It's about understanding why these patterns developed and learning practical ways to change them.
My approach is warm, direct, trauma-informed, and collaborative. Together, we'll slow down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and build practical tools that fit your life, not generic advice that sounds good but doesn't really apply in the real world.

Articles & Reflections
I write about therapy, trauma, anxiety, relationships, grief, nervous system survival, and the pop culture moments that accidentally explain human behavior better than they meant to.
These articles are not a replacement for therapy, but they may help you understand more about how I think, how I write, and the kind of conversations that often show up in the therapy room.
