Helping Smart, Anxious Adults Find
Calm and Confidence

You might be in the right place if…

You’re capable, thoughtful, and self-aware—but your mind won’t slow down. You replay conversations, second-guess decisions, or feel tense even when things are going well.

• You tend to be hard on yourself. Perfectionism, self-criticism, or a constant sense of pressure has been part of your life for a long time.

• You function well on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, uncertain, or worn down by overthinking.

• Work, relationships, or parenting feel heavier than they should—not because you don’t care, but because you care a lot.

• You’re interested in understanding why you feel the way you do, not just learning how to push through it.

• You want therapy that’s practical and thoughtful—where you leave with insight and something concrete to work on, not just reassurance.

• You’ve tried to think your way out of anxiety, lower your standards, or “be more positive,” and it hasn’t really worked.

You might not be the best fit if you’re looking only for validation, a completely unstructured space to vent, or a quick fix without reflection or follow-through. I work best with people who want to understand themselves more clearly and are open to meaningful change.

I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and self-criticism—especially when they look “fine” on the outside but feel tense or stuck inside.

What working with me looks like

At the beginning, I’m fairly structured—because clarity helps anxiety settle.

We start by identifying what’s been weighing on you, what you want to change, and what’s likely contributing to the anxiety—stressors, thinking patterns, family dynamics, and sometimes physical factors. I use clear frameworks—often CBT-based—to help us understand what’s happening and decide where to focus.

For some people, that includes worksheets or guided exercises early on—not as busywork, but as a way to organize your thoughts, practice new perspectives, and build momentum. For others, we take the concepts and apply them more fluidly in conversation. We adjust as we go.

As therapy continues, sessions tend to feel more flexible and reflective. We look at patterns, relationships, identity, and the deeper “why” underneath the anxiety—while still staying grounded in practical strategies you can use in real life.

Throughout our work, I aim to be:

• Easy to talk to, without being passive

• Supportive, but willing to gently challenge you

• Practical, thoughtful, and honest

My goal isn’t to change who you are. It’s to help you understand yourself more clearly, stop blaming yourself for how you’re wired, and respond to anxiety in ways that actually help—so it no longer runs your life.

Most clients tell me they feel more confident, more grounded, and less stuck in their heads—not because everything is perfect, but because they know how to work with their thoughts instead of fighting them.

Starting therapy doesn’t have to be a big commitment right away. We’ll begin with a brief consultation to talk about what’s been going on and see whether working together makes sense.
