Therapy for High-Achieving Adults Navigating Anxiety, Identity, Relationships & Eating Disorders

Thoughtful, affirming therapy for adults who are tired of performing, over-functioning, or losing themselves in relationships.

You might be here because...

— You're successful on paper, but constantly anxious underneath.

— You spend more time thinking about food, exercise, or your body than you want to admit.

— You're tired of people-pleasing, over-functioning, or trying to be everything to everyone.

— You're questioning your identity, sexuality, values, or what you actually want from your life.

— You keep finding yourself in the same painful relationship patterns.

If any of that sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Therapy that goes deeper

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, insightful, and highly capable. They often know why they're struggling, but still find themselves stuck in the same patterns.

Together, we'll look beyond symptoms and surface-level coping strategies to understand what is keeping those patterns in place. My goal isn't to help you become someone different. It's to help you build a life that feels more aligned with who you already are.

What It's Like to Work With Me

My style is warm, honest, collaborative, and direct.

I will offer compassion when you need compassion and challenge when you need challenge. Therapy should feel like a place where you can be fully yourself—not perform, impress, or have everything figured out.
