Anxiety is not who you are—it’s just the loudest part right now.
Maybe it shows up as constant overthinking—replaying conversations, worrying you said the wrong thing, imagining worst-case scenarios before they even happen. Maybe it’s a tight chest, a pit in your stomach, or that buzzing feeling in your body that never quite goes away. You might be exhausted from trying to hold it all together on the outside while everything feels out of control on the inside. Anxiety can make even the smallest decisions feel overwhelming, and the things you used to enjoy feel like too much.
Sometimes it’s hard to explain. You might look like you have it all together—but no one sees how hard you’re working just to keep your head above water. You try to rest, but your mind doesn’t stop. You try to slow down, but the pressure keeps building. Whether it’s showing up in your relationships, your job, or just your day-to-day moments, anxiety can make life feel like something you’re constantly managing, rather than actually living
You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
Together, we can get curious about what’s underneath the anxiety, not to judge it, but to understand it. Using approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and DBT, I’ll help you learn how to relate to your anxiety with more clarity and compassion—and build tools that actually work for you. My goal isn’t to make you someone else—it’s to help you feel more like yourself again.
You’re not too sensitive—you’ve just been through too much with too little support.
Trauma doesn’t always look like one big event. Sometimes, it’s a collection of moments where you felt unsafe, unseen, or not enough. Maybe you had to grow up too fast, stay quiet to keep the peace, or take care of everyone else before yourself. You might not even use the word “trauma,” but you feel the effects: always being on alert, never fully able to relax, quick to self-blame, or constantly trying to control things just to feel okay. You may struggle to trust others—or yourself. It’s like your body remembers things your mind has tried to forget.
With complex trauma (C-PTSD), the impact can feel like it’s woven into everything: your relationships, your sense of identity, your ability to feel safe inside your own skin. You might find yourself shutting down emotionally, snapping at people you love, feeling numb one minute and overwhelmed the next. There’s a constant push-pull between wanting connection and wanting to disappear. You may look “high-functioning” on the outside, but inside, it feels like you’re constantly managing chaos.
None of this means you’re broken.
In our work together, we’ll move gently—with compassion, not pressure. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, and trauma-informed care to help you explore your story without shame, reconnect with the parts of you that feel hurt or hidden, and begin to feel safe in your body again. We’ll go at your pace, honoring your boundaries and celebrating your strength.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means learning how to live without carrying the weight of it every day. You don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to feel more connected, grounded, and free, I’m here—and I’d be honored to walk with you.
You’re not “too much.” You’re someone who feels deeply—and that’s brave.
If you’ve ever been told you're overreacting, too sensitive, or hard to love, you might have started to believe it. Maybe your emotions hit like waves—intense, unpredictable, and hard to control. One moment you're fine, the next you're overwhelmed. You might crave closeness but fear getting hurt, pushing people away even when you don’t mean to. Sometimes you feel abandoned by others, sometimes by yourself. It’s confusing. Exhausting. And often, incredibly lonely.
You might struggle with self-worth, feeling like you don’t know who you really are or what version of you will show up today. The inner critic can be brutal—swinging between shame, self-blame, and the belief that you’ll never “get it right.” You may turn to impulsive choices or coping strategies just to feel something different, even if only for a moment. These patterns might not make sense to others, but they make sense in the context of what you’ve been through.

You’re not broken.
I work with teens and young adults navigating emotional intensity, identity confusion, and relationship struggles. My approach is grounded, nonjudgmental, and deeply compassionate. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, and trauma-informed care to help you understand your inner world, quiet the chaos, and build the kind of self-trust that lasts.
Therapy isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about helping you come home to yourself—without fear, without shame. You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here when you’re ready.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel confusing or clinical.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is based on the idea that we all have different “parts” of ourselves. For example, you might have one part that’s super critical, another part that avoids things, and another part that’s really scared or sad underneath it all. IFS helps you get to know those parts—not to get rid of them, but to understand what they’re trying to do for you. Even the parts that feel messy or frustrating are usually trying to protect you in some way. This work is about getting curious, not judgmental. Over time, you learn how to feel more calm and connected to your true self—not just your reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT gives you practical tools to manage the big stuff—like overwhelming emotions, black-and-white thinking, impulsive urges, or saying things you don’t mean when you're upset. DBT is about learning new ways to cope, like how to stay present in the moment, how to set boundaries, and how to ride out emotional waves without getting pulled under. It’s skills-based, meaning you’ll actually learn things you can use in your real life—not just talk about your feelings.
My approach is collaborative, kind, and never one-size-fits-all. You don’t have to be “fixed”—you just need a space where you can understand yourself better, feel supported, and grow at your own pace.
