The anxiety you experience didn’t appear out of nowhere. It often begins early in life as a necessary strategy to stay safe, keep the peace, or feel accepted. Over time, those same strategies — perfectionism, people-pleasing, constant planning — become exhausting.

My approach helps you understand these patterns with compassion rather than shame. Together, we get curious about why your anxiety works so hard and what it’s trying to protect you from. This isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about helping the anxious part step back so other parts of you can finally breathe.

I work in a way that balances depth and insight with practicality. We’ll explore what’s driving your anxiety while also finding ways to make real, sustainable changes that support more balance in your day-to-day life. You can expect honesty, curiosity, and a grounded, conversational approach — with a dash of humor.

Therapy works best when you feel understood by someone who gets how anxiety operates — how it convinces you that resting is “being lazy,” or how guilt shows up the moment you think about setting a boundary.

If you’ve been living in constant stress, second-guessing yourself, or feeling responsible for keeping everything together, you don’t have to keep carrying it alone.

Our work helps you connect the dots between past experiences and present reactions so that change makes sense rather than feeling forced. The anxious part of you that’s been holding everything together for so long deserves care and attention too — not another lecture about why it “shouldn’t feel this way.”

Therapy is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Not to become a new version of you, but to start feeling more like yourself again. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. You just need a willingness to get curious about what’s happening underneath the pressure to hold everything together.
