Specialized Areas
Individual Counseling for Overthinking and Anxiety
I provide individual therapy for thoughtful, high-achieving adults who look “together” on the outside but feel like chaos inside. Many of my clients live with anxiety, depression, or the long shadow of childhood invalidation and trauma. They’re tired of overthinking, shame, and self-judgment, yet hesitant to open up because past therapy has felt too shallow or unhelpful.
​
In our work together, the therapeutic relationship is the foundation — not just a place to vent, but a safe, collaborative space where you feel seen, understood, and taken seriously. I bring deep empathy, respect, and genuine curiosity to help you feel safe enough to explore what’s been holding you back.
My specialty is helping clients untangle patterns of fear, avoidance, and self-criticism that interfere with work, relationships, and a sense of peace. Using approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), I help you loosen the grip of anxiety and shame, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
