What we can do togther
Everyone’s journey is unique, but many of us struggle with recurring patterns, overwhelming stress, or relationship challenges that feel impossible to navigate alone. I work with adults experiencing attachment wounds, burnout, ADHD, codependency, and relationship or family struggles — including couples therapy. I also treat depression, anxiety, and other emotional challenges, providing a safe space to understand what’s happening, break old patterns, and build healthier, more fulfilling ways of living.

Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, you may feel anxious, tense, or quietly depressed. High-functioning individuals often struggle silently, juggling responsibilities while feeling disconnected from joy or meaning. I work with clients to understand the sources of anxiety and depression in their daily lives, using mindfulness-based approaches to cultivate awareness of thoughts and emotions without judgment. CBT helps identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, while ACT and DBT-inspired strategies teach acceptance, emotional regulation, and skillful action toward valued goals. The goal is not just symptom relief, but building resilience, balance, and the ability to experience connection and fulfillment in life.

Do you notice recurring patterns in your relationships? Attracting unavailable partners, feeling anxious when someone is distant, or overextending yourself to maintain connection? Or perhaps you complete shut down and become entirely adverse to your partner, despite knowing how much they mean to you. These experiences often stem from attachment wounds developed early in life. I help clients understand their attachment style and how it shows up in relationships and self-perception. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness practices, and relational, attachment-informed strategies, we work to create a safe space where you can explore vulnerabilities, regulate difficult emotions, and experience connection in healthier ways. I also integrate elements of ACT, DBT, and CBT to help you manage anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and take intentional steps toward secure, fulfilling relationships.

Motherhood can be simultaneously rewarding and exhausting. You may feel like you’re giving everything to everyone else (your children, partner, parents, work) and forgetting yourself. High-functioning moms often experience guilt, exhaustion, or resentment while still trying to “do it all.” In therapy, we focus on identifying patterns that contribute to burnout and practicing mindfulness to reconnect with your body, emotions, and needs. We explore ways to manage perfectionism and expectations, while practicing to help you align your daily actions with your values. Together, we create space for self-compassion, emotional restoration, and sustainable ways to feel both connected and energized.

Do you feel like your mind is constantly spinning, tasks keep piling up, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to keep up? Even high-functioning adults with ADHD can struggle with focus, emotional overwhelm, and relationship strain. I work with clients to develop practical strategies for managing daily life while addressing the emotional impact of ADHD. My approach is mindfulness-based, helping you notice patterns of distraction, overwhelm, and self-criticism without judgment. I also draw on CBT techniques to create structure and coping strategies, along with ACT and DBT principles to help regulate emotions, increase flexibility, and reduce the frustration that comes from feeling “behind” or scattered. Together, we’ll create a plan that supports both your productivity and your emotional wellbeing.

Relationships can be deeply rewarding, but they can also leave us feeling frustrated, hurt, or stuck, especially when conflict feels repetitive or you’ve reached that last ditch effort point. I work with couples who are struggling to reconnect, feeling distant, or navigating betrayal and crises, helping them explore what keeps them stuck and how to rebuild emotional connection. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I guide couples to identify and understand the emotions and attachment needs underlying their conflicts, creating safety, empathy, and mutual understanding. Mindfulness-based practices help reduce reactivity, while ACT and DBT-inspired tools support emotional regulation and compassion for self and partner. Together, we work to break old patterns, restore closeness, and create a relationship that feels secure, connected, and fulfilling.

Navigating addiction, whether for yourself or a loved one, can be overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting. I work with adults who are trying to establish real recovery, helping them manage sobriety, cope with triggers, and rebuild healthy routines and relationships. I also support families and partners who are struggling to understand or heal from a loved one’s addiction, offering guidance on boundaries, self-care, and processing the pain, guilt, or grief that often accompanies these experiences.
My work is trauma informed and aims to help clients understand how addiction affects both the individual and their relational system. I focus on mindfulness-based practices, emotional awareness, and attachment-informed strategies to build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and promote lasting recovery and relational healing.
Please note: I do not work with individuals actively using substances. In these cases, I will be happy to connect you with a higher level of care before beginning therapy with me.
