I help stressed, perfectionistic students and professionals learn how to relax. Too much self-control, or overcontrol, makes it hard to enjoy life and connect meaningfully with others. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Overcontrol can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and intimacy avoidance. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folks for over 10 years. Together, we can get you unstuck and harness your self-control as a strength.

You feel burdened, like you’re carrying a refrigerator on your back through a land mine- almost anything or anyone could set you off. You hoped Life would be more peaceful, but as time goes on, your anxiety remains deep. Stress plants itself in your bones and reverberates through your whole body. It’s the same, no matter what you try. The voice of failure reverberates in your head. “You won’t make it, so why even try?” It all feels so hopeless.

Another day spent in the exhausting juggling routine of tending to everyone’s needs but your own. Your newborn kept you up all night – again. You can’t remember the last time you had any time for yourself. Contorting yourself to please everyone has transformed you into someone unrecognizable. With each role you take on – mother, wife, sister, friend – you feel further from yourself. As the stress in the pit of your stomach grows, the tension rises to your throat. You’re overwhelmed, and there’s nowhere to turn. You’ve sucked it up for too long and told yourself things are “good enough,” but they’re not. Don’t lose hope just yet.

Accepting New Clients- The transition to parenthood is a very vulnerable time, and many experience depression, anxiety, and anger along the way. It can be difficult reaching out for support, especially if you are having scary thoughts about yourself or your child or are worried you are not a good enough parent. It can also be very lonely, but it doesn’t have to be.

I find inspiration in the strength and resilience I see in the work I do with my clients. Everyone has their own unique life story and worldview. These beliefs and values help establish ones character and value system. Throughout life, all people face challenges or barriers that can influence their mental health and alter one’s worldview. Vulnerability plays a key role in seeking out help and utilizing therapy to become more empowered and overcome these challenges. I believe the therapeutic process leads to restored hope, gained insight, confidence, and learning healthy ways to cope.

Hi there! I'm a licensed counselor with a desire to help individuals become acutely aware of their worth and purpose in the world. Through an exploration of each individual’s unique psychosocial history and presenting circumstances, we collaboratively determine the evidenced-based treatment interventions that best cater to the client. I find value in incorporating a multi-systemic framework, helping clients identify how their various systems (family, friends, work, school, and community) contribute to presenting symptoms. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into sessions to the extent that one is comfortable.
