THERAPY
FOR THE GO-GETTERS, THE PERFECTIONISTS, AND THE PEOPLE PLEASERS
I'm here for you.
Are you tired of worrying about the future so much and struggling to enjoy the present? Have you done everything you're 'supposed' to do, only to lack the peace and happiness you were promised? If you're feeling anxious, burnt out, and tired of watching your relationships with yourself and others suffer, you deserve a change.
It's time to take back control of your life.
What are you struggling with?
Burnout +
High-Functioning Anxiety
Are you constantly pushing through exhaustion, telling yourself you’ll slow down after the next deadline, goal, or milestone? Do you feel 'tired but wired', with a mind that won’t shut off and a body that never quite relaxes? Therapy can help you understand the patterns driving burnout and anxiety, calm your nervous system, and learn how to move through life with more ease - without losing your ambition or sense of purpose.
People-Pleasing + Perfectionism
Are you feeling depleted from constantly trying to get things “just right,” meet high expectations, or avoid letting others down? Do guilt, self-criticism, or fear of disappointing people make it hard to set boundaries or slow down? Therapy can help you untangle perfectionism and people-pleasing, develop self-compassion, and learn how to choose yourself without the constant weight of guilt or “shoulds.”
Attachment + Relationship Patterns
Do relationships feel confusing, overwhelming, or harder than they “should” be? Do you find yourself overextending yourself, pulling away, or worrying about where you stand with others? Therapy can help you make sense of your attachment patterns, heal relational wounds, and build connections that feel safer, more balanced, and more fulfilling—starting with your relationship with yourself.
Fulfillment + Self-Trust
On paper, your life looks good - but something still feels off. Do you feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure what you actually want beneath all the responsibilities and expectations? Therapy can help you clarify what's most important to you, build trust within yourself, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned—not just productive or acceptable.

Therapeutic Approaches
Here's a brief overview of the primary therapeutic approaches I use in my practice:
NEW Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART uses calming eye movements similar to those seen in REM sleep along with guided imagery to replace distressing negative emotions and images with positive ones. This eliminates strong reactions to triggers and stops intrusive thoughts associated with trauma, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and various other issues. Significant results can be seen in as little as 1 session and there is no need to share details of your distressing memories.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you learn to open up to your inner experience, live in the present instead of the future or past, and take the power out of difficult thoughts and feelings so they no longer get in the way of doing what matters to you. It’s an experiential therapy, which means we we will actively practice mindfulness-based exercises, communication skills, and goal-maintenance tools that you can apply in your daily life to create change that lasts.
Emotion Focused Therapy
(EFT)
Your ability to notice, name, communicate, and respond to your emotions effectively plays an important role in feeling connected to yourself, others, and the world around you. EFT focuses on making space for all of your emotions, expressing them in healthier ways, and learning to regulate them so you can improve your relationships and do what's important to you without feelings getting in the way.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a form of cognitive behavioural therapy that helps you reduce suffering, find balance, and create vitality in your life. There are four sets of skills that DBT focuses on to enhance well-being: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation. I will help you learn and practice these skills in your day-to-day life so you can feel confident using them to overcome life's obstacles in the years to come.
