By all accounts, you’re successful and have held things together, even through life changes that have thrown off your sense of direction. However, you're carrying anxiety, feeling like you have to be perfect, and have a nagging sense that success might not be the same as feeling well. You know something needs to change. You're not looking to be told what to do; you want practical tools and support that help you turn insight into real change. Therapy isn’t just an abstract conversation - it’s an intentional way to slow down and get clarity on who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there.
I integrate depth-oriented work with practical tools, CBT, mindfulness, parts work, and somatic practices to address anxiety, rumination, perfectionism, and emotional suppression. I help you identify patterns, sit with grief and uncertainty, and translate insight into concrete action around co-parenting, relationships, self-image, and purpose.
Asking for help can feel unnecessary, uncomfortable, or hard to fit into an already full life. Therapy is a chance to honestly identify what’s going on and work through it without having to perform for anyone. If you're ready to stop just getting by and start building something intentional, I'd be honored to work alongside you as you figure out what's next.
