The Anxiety Replay
You’ve worried yourself thin replaying moments from the past or imagining future scenarios, but it never makes you feel better.
Your friends and family tell you “not to worry so much” or “you’re overreacting” when, on the inside, it feels enormous.
The Guilt in Parenthood
Parenthood doesn’t look quite like you imagined- no halo effect, just immense guilt and shame.
You find yourself wishing for the kind of support you dreamed of in parenthood, surrounded by loved ones who now seem distant or nonexistent.
The Worry in Relationships
The recurring arguments make you feel like ending the relationship altogether, but what about all the years spent together?
You want to make it work, but you don’t know how. Your family, friend, or partner can’t see you for who you know yourself to be, and it hurts.

Move from having emotional hangovers after every hard conversation to feeling confident and secure in the choices you make in relationships.
Allow you to become the parent you always wanted to be, not repeat the patterns you know didn’t work for you.

My Approach
As a therapist, I believe that the best results come from starting with a trusting relationship. I use a combination of evidence - based talk therapy strategies, mindfulness-based techniques, and creativity to support clients with easing emotional overwhelm, stress, and anxiety.
How I Work: A Three-Pronged Approach to Therapy
-
ACT helps you make peace with difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, sadness, or stress, you learn to accept these experiences while still taking meaningful action toward what matters to you. Through mindfulness and values-based exercises, ACT teaches you to "unhook" from unhelpful thoughts so they have less power over your choices. The goal isn't to feel good all the time; it's to live a rich, purposeful life even when hard emotions show up.
-
These approaches teach you to pay attention to the present moment: thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judging them as good or bad. Through practices like breathing exercises, body scans, and meditation, you learn to notice stress or difficult emotions as they arise rather than getting swept up in them. Over time, this can reduce reactivity, lower anxiety, and improve overall emotional regulation. Mindfulness is often used alongside other therapies (like ACT) or as a standalone practice for stress and mental health support.
-
IPT focuses on how your relationships affect your mental health, and vice versa. It's especially helpful for depression and grief, and typically looks at issues like conflict with loved ones, major life transitions, or difficulty forming close connections. Sessions center on identifying patterns in your relationships and building better communication skills to improve them. As relationships improve, symptoms like sadness and isolation often ease.
