Areas of Specialization

While I’m equipped to support you through a wide range of challenges, I’ve chosen to specialize in a few key areas where I bring deep experience and focused care. These are the concerns I’m especially skilled in helping clients navigate:

​

  • Stress – Managing chronic stress and learning how to slow down without guilt

​

  • Anxiety – Understanding the roots of your anxiety and developing tools to feel more in control

​

  • Perfectionism – Untangling the pressure to always “get it right” and learning to embrace imperfection

​

  • Self-Esteem – Building a more compassionate relationship with yourself and your worth

​

  • Burnout – Healing from emotional exhaustion and creating a more sustainable way of living

​

If you're struggling with any of these, you’re not alone — and support is available.

When it comes to stress and anxiety, I’m especially passionate about exploring the patterns that keep you feeling stuck — like worry, perfectionism, procrastination, and self-doubt. These experiences often show up in subtle but powerful ways, and therapy can be a space to unpack them with curiosity and compassion.

​

Here are some of the areas we might focus on in our work together:

​

  • Anxiety, Worry, and Stress Reduction – Learning tools to calm the nervous system and feel more grounded in everyday life

​

  • Self-Esteem, Self-Acceptance, and Confidence – Reconnecting with your inherent worth and quieting the inner critic

​

  • Communication, Boundaries, and Self-Expression – Speaking your truth and protecting your peace in relationships

​

  • Relationships and Social Connection – Navigating friendships, family dynamics, and feelings of loneliness or disconnection

​

  • Self-Care and Life Balance – Creating space for rest, joy, and practices that truly nourish you

​

No topic is too small or too “silly.” If it matters to you, it matters here.
