Anxious, restless, and always pushing forward. Here, you can ease anxiety, deepen your insight, and explore new ways of being.
You’ve tried the podcasts, those “must have” self-help books—even squeezed mindfulness into your schedule. Still, your mind is unable to relax and be present.
It’s not just you—our culture trains high achievers to run on overdrive until something breaks.
The truth is, you can’t outpace it—you need to exhale and slow down.
Therapy together is all about that exhale and slowing down—a space to release the pressure to be “on” 24/7.
This is in-depth, consistent, get-to-the-root therapy that reaches all areas of your life.
I get it, that all-consuming pressure to keep it together while quietly unraveling—here, we get to the root and transform that pressure.
If you’re ready to do the deeper work—the kind that unfolds and creates real, lasting change in your life, relationships, and career—let’s connect.
What would it feel like to end your day without the mental reruns or the quiet guilt of not doing enough?
To center your peace and connection, both with yourself and the people who matter most.
Through a psychodynamic lens, we’ll look beneath the surface—exploring the patterns and relationships that quietly guide your life.
Along the way, dreamwork, sandtray, or breathwork may become tools we use to help you connect more fully with yourself.
You’re seeking deep and lasting change, therapy offers a break from the constant motion—a space where change unfolds as you begin noticing shifts in how you think, feel, and respond to life.
Together, we’ll face what’s been keeping you stuck and build practices that spark growth—both in session and in the rhythm of everyday life.
Is This You?
→ Workday’s over, but your brain’s drafting tomorrow’s emails at 2 a.m.
→ Replay mode: Should’ve said this… should’ve done that better.
→ You hit every goal, but that “enough” feeling never shows up.
→ Calling it productivity when it’s really fear of failure dressed up as discipline.
→ Craving for more connection and purpose beyond what you can do for others.
→ Outwardly polished. Inside, your nervous system never seems to clock out.
You can transform the pressure and find that calm.
I’m here to support your journey to wholeness—a space to slow down, figure out what’s keeping you stuck, and then use those insights and lightbulb moments to break free and feel better.
