What's My Approach to Therapy?

If you are here, you might look like you have it together on the outside: responsible, driven, capable but internally you feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or never quite enough. Maybe you hold yourself to high standards. Maybe you are navigating a life transition, struggling with body image or food, feeling stuck in perfectionism, or carrying stress that no one else seems to see. You might be used to being the strong one, the achiever, the dependable one, and asking for help does not come naturally. I want you to know you don’t have to keep doing this alone. When we work together, I focus on creating a space where you can step out of performance mode and just be human. I am not here to judge you, label you, or tell you who you should be. I am here to understand you; how you think, how you cope, what you have learned to survive, and what might no longer be serving you. My approach is holistic and individualized. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I draw from evidence-based modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and skills-based approaches, but I tailor our work to you. Some sessions may be insight-oriented, helping you connect patterns and experiences. Others may focus on practical tools you can use immediately. With children, I incorporate play and art-based interventions to allow for developmentally appropriate expression. With teens and adults, I often work on identifying core beliefs, building emotional regulation skills, and strengthening self-compassion. I believe real change happens when you feel both supported and challenged. I will sit with you in the hard moments, but I will also gently help you examine patterns, question assumptions, and experiment with new ways of thinking and responding. Growth is not about becoming someone different, it is about becoming more aligned with who you truly are underneath the pressure, anxiety, or self-criticism. Therapy with me is collaborative. You are the expert on your life. I bring training, perspective, and tools, but we build the path forward together. If you are ready to move from just coping to truly living with intention, clarity, and confidence, I would be honored to walk that process with you.

My Practice & Services

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to provide flexibility and accessibility based on your needs. My goal is to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and tailored to you; not intimidating or overly clinical. Whether this is your first experience with counseling or you have been in therapy before, I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable, respected, and understood. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. You may be used to handling things on your own, pushing through stress, or minimizing what you are feeling. In our work together, you will not be rushed or pressured. We will move at a pace that feels right while still working intentionally toward meaningful growth. For children and teens, I value caregiver involvement when appropriate and provide guidance to help reinforce progress outside of session. For athletes and high-performing individuals, I understand the importance of confidentiality, trust, and creating a space where you can step away from expectations and simply be yourself. My practice is grounded in the belief that growth does not just happen during the 50-minute session; it continues in daily choices, relationships, and self-talk. My role is to help you build awareness, skills, and confidence so that change extends beyond our time together. If you are unsure whether we would be a good fit, I welcome the opportunity to connect and answer your questions. Finding the right therapist matters, and I want you to feel confident in your decision.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I grew up as an elite level athlete, where discipline, sacrifice, and achievement were expected. I learned early how to push through pressure but even when I was succeeding, I rarely felt like it was enough. That mindset followed me into college, where I continued striving while quietly battling anxiety, body image struggles, and perfectionism. On the outside, I looked accomplished. On the inside, I felt overwhelmed and self-critical. I also experienced my parents divorce as a teenager, which deeply shaped how I understood relationships and stability. Growing up in Gen Z, surrounded by constant comparison through social media, only intensified the pressure to measure up. Therapy changed my life. During one of my hardest seasons, my counselor helped me rebuild my relationship with myself; not by lowering my standards, but by helping me approach achievement in a healthier, more sustainable way. That experience is what led me into this work. Because I have done my own work, I understand the athlete mindset. I understand perfectionism. I understand anxiety that feels constant and quiet but heavy. I do not see high achievement as the problem; I see unmanaged pressure and shame as the issue. My lived experience allows me to sit with clients in a grounded, steady way. I will not minimize what you are feeling, and I will not be intimidated by it either. Healing is possible and I have seen what it looks like from the inside out. My struggles did not disqualify me from becoming a therapist. They made me a more empathetic, intentional, and authentic one.
