Specialties

Anxiety - Working with anxiety means making space for the worry, restlessness, and physical tension that come with it, while building a steadier relationship to uncertainty. This includes generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic, with attention to how anxious patterns show up in the body as well as the mind.

Couples counseling - Couples work focuses on the patterns that shape a relationship, especially the ones that surface during conflict or transition. Together we look at communication, trust, and connection, with the goal of helping both people feel more understood and more securely attached to one another.

Existential crisis & challenges - These concerns often arise during major life transitions or periods of uncertainty, when questions of meaning, purpose, mortality, or direction come to the foreground. This work makes room for that exploration without rushing toward resolution, trusting that clarity tends to emerge through honest reflection.

Relationship issues - This work involves getting curious about recurring patterns, unspoken expectations, and the wants and needs that shape how we connect with others. Whether the focus is a specific relationship or relational patterns more broadly, the aim is greater clarity, self-understanding, and more satisfying connection.

Self-esteem - Self-esteem work centers on developing a kinder, more honest relationship with oneself. This often means examining self-critical patterns, building self-compassion, and finding more grounded ways to show up in the world, including in social situations and close relationships.

Panic attacks / panic disorder - Panic attacks bring sudden, intense waves of fear or physical distress that can feel disorienting and frightening. This work focuses on understanding what's happening in the body during panic, reducing its grip over time, and rebuilding a sense of safety and trust in oneself.
