Specialties

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning, thoughtful, and self-aware — yet still feel stuck.

You might be successful on the outside, but internally feel anxious, disconnected, or constantly on edge. You may overthink, intellectualize your feelings, or hold yourself to impossible standards while quietly carrying the weight of past experiences. Therapy here is not about “fixing” you, but about understanding what your system learned to do to survive — and helping it find safer, more flexible ways to live now.

Anxiety, Overwhelm & Nervous System Regulation

When your nervous system has been stuck in survival mode for too long, anxiety, panic, and shutdown can begin to shape daily life — even when nothing is “wrong” on the surface.

I work with clients experiencing:

• Anxiety, overwhelm, and panic

• Depression, shutdown, numbness

• Feeling like you're on an emotional rollercoaster or hijacked by feelings

• Burnout and occupational stress injuries

• ADHD and neurodivergence

Trauma, C-PTSD & Developmental Adversity

Trauma isn’t only what happened — it’s how your system learned to survive.

I support adults whose past experiences continue to shape their emotions, relationships, self-worth, or sense of safety.

This includes work with:

• Childhood trauma and complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

• Acute Event, Disaster, Shock, Trauma and PTSD

• Medical trauma

• Grief and loss

Attachment Wounds & Relationship Patterns

When early relationships couldn’t offer consistent safety or attunement, we adapt — often by disconnecting from our needs, emotions, or closeness with others.

You may notice patterns such as:

• Attachment and family-of-origin wounds

• Repeated relationship challenges

• Fear of closeness or dependence

• People-pleasing or extreme self-reliance

• Feeling “too much” or “not enough.”

Perfectionism, High Achievers & Self-Worth

Perfectionism and high achievement are ways to stay safe, valued, or in control. Over time, these patterns can quietly erode rest, joy, and self-trust.

We can still be a high performer without constantly doubting ourselves.

I frequently support:

• Perfectionism and high achievement

• Self-esteem and self-worth concerns

• Body image and eating challenges

• Productivity-driven identity

• University students and individuals in STEM fields

This work helps shift motivation from fear to fulfillment, allowing ambition and ease to coexist.

Identity, Life Transitions & Meaning

Growth often requires outgrowing old identities, coping strategies, or versions of ourselves — even when they once kept us safe.

This work may include:

• Identity and life transitions

• Career and role changes

• Loss of familiar identities

• Rebuilding authenticity and self-trust

First Responders, Healthcare Workers & Helpers

If you are a helper by profession or nature, you are often exposed to responsibility, stress, and human suffering that others don’t see.

I offer occupationally aware support for:

• First responders and healthcare workers

• Helpers and caregivers

• Occupational stress injuries and burnout

• Moral distress and systemic pressure

• Emotional numbing, irritability, or disconnection
