Specializing in…
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel like a relentless undercurrent of worry, restlessness, or tension that keeps you on high alert. It can make even simple decisions feel overwhelming and leave you feeling disconnected from the present moment. I help you move beyond surface-level coping by addressing the deeper patterns driving your anxiety. Together, we’ll create practical, sustainable strategies to quiet your mind, regulate your nervous system, and restore a sense of ease—so you can move through life with greater clarity and confidence.
Relational Stress & Attachment
Relationships shape how we experience the world, yet they can also be a source of deep stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain. Whether you struggle with trust, people-pleasing, patterns of emotional avoidance, or difficulty setting boundaries, our work will help you uncover the underlying attachment dynamics at play. Together, we’ll explore ways to create healthier, more fulfilling connections—so you can move from feeling stuck in relational patterns to experiencing relationships with greater security, ease, and confidence.
Stress & Burnout
When stress becomes your default state, it can lead to emotional exhaustion, irritability, and a sense of detachment from yourself and others. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by work, caregiving, or the weight of daily responsibilities, I provide a space to help you reset. Our work together focuses on identifying the patterns keeping you stuck in survival mode, developing healthier boundaries, and reconnecting with what truly nourishes you—so you can restore balance, energy, and purpose in your life.
Grief & Life Transitions
Loss—whether of a loved one, a relationship, a role, or a phase of life—can leave you feeling unsettled and uncertain about the future. Grief is not just about moving on; it’s about learning how to carry loss in a way that allows you to continue moving forward. I help you navigate the complexities of grief and major life transitions with compassion, providing space to honor what has changed while helping you create a new path forward that feels meaningful and authentic to you.
