About me
If you often feel exhausted by holding everything together, stuck in repeating relationship patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety, or disconnected from your own needs despite being highly self-aware, therapy can become a space where something deeper begins to shift.
I work with adults who have learned to adapt early in life — to stay strong, care for others, achieve, or keep going no matter what — and who now find that these once-protective strategies are leaving them emotionally depleted, shut down, or unable to fully rest, connect, or feel at ease within themselves.

Approach
I help adults who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, burnout, emotional overwhelm, relational difficulties, and chronic feelings of emptiness or disconnection—particularly when these persist despite high levels of insight and functioning.
Together, we explore the deeper attachment patterns, protective strategies, and nervous system adaptations that underlie present-day suffering. Rather than treating symptoms as problems to eliminate, therapy seeks to understand their protective function and create the conditions for lasting change.
My work integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassion-Focused Therapy, attachment theory, and Polyvagal-informed approaches within a collaborative and psychologically attuned therapeutic relationship.
The aim is not only symptom reduction, but greater emotional integration, self-compassion, psychological flexibility, and more fulfilling relationships with oneself and others.
