— What I focus on
Therapy that meets you where you actually are.
My practice centers on a few specific places where the work tends to live — the spots that, when tended to, change everything else.
01
Anxiety
Tools and insight for the mind that won't quiet down — including the kind that hides as overachievement.
03
Attachment & parent wounds
The early patterns and ruptures that still shape how we love, trust, and show up in adult relationships.
05
Leadership burnout
For executives, founders, pastors, and parents whose role has eroded their own well-being.
02
Perfectionism
When "doing your best" has quietly become a cage. Toward standards that serve your life rather than rule it.
04
Relationships
For couples and individuals alike — communication, repair, and real connection that lasts.
06
Life transitions
Pregnancy, postpartum, grief, divorce — the seasons that ask us to become someone new.
