Perfectionism

Perfectionism can come in many forms. It can look like procrastination. It can disguise itself as anxiety. It can be a mean and strong inner critic. It can also look like difficulty making decisions due to fear of making the "wrong" choice. It can also be a trauma response. This happens to those who grew up in families where being perfect meant being safe. It was a way to avoid getting in trouble.

Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to do more, be more, and never make mistakes which can lead to a sense of never feeling “good enough.” Do you struggle with fear of failure, feel inadequate, or create impossibly high standards for yourself?

Perfectionism can impact relationships, work, and overall well-being, leaving you stuck in an exhausting cycle of high expectations and harsh inner judgment.

I can teach you the skills and tools to develop better self-compassion and self-acceptance. To manage stress related to unrealistic standards without sacrificing productivity. I can help you regain control of your life in healthy ways. This will allow you to feel more authentic and more connected to people who matter in your life. In therapy, we explore the roots of perfectionism with compassion and curiosity. We work together to shift rigid standards, quiet the inner critic, and build a more balanced and kind relationship with yourself.

You can learn to pursue goals in a way that feels sustainable and fulfilling—without sacrificing your peace.

Birth Trauma

I can help mothers, fathers, or birth partners heal from overwhelming, distressing, and traumatic experiences of the birthing process.

Birth trauma often results from emergency interventions. It can arise from feelings of helplessness or unexpected outcomes. Perceived neglect by medical staff can also be a factor, or fear for the baby's or parent's safety. These experiences can leave lasting emotional effects. This includes symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and flashbacks. Some experience avoidance of future pregnancies or medical settings.

I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help the brain integrate these traumatic memories. This method reduces the emotional intensity of these memories and the distressing "charge" attached to them. This can help you develop new, more adaptive beliefs about yourself. It can also enhance the birth experience and restore a more peaceful connection with your birth story.

Adolescents (13+)

Teenagers deal with a lot of different stressors. They are experiencing a very difficult transition period in their lives. During this time, they are starting to develop their own identity. They are also dealing with big emotions due to hormonal changes. Common concerns include anxiety, perfectionism, emotional regulation, stress related to school and social aspects, phobias, and problems in interpersonal relationships. ADHD is also a very common set of symptoms that affect teens time-management and communication skills.

Before booking your teen in for a first session, you must set up a parent session first. In this meeting, we will discuss consent. We will also gather any necessary information that relates to therapy goals, expectations, and concerns about your teen.

Individual Adult

There are many reasons people seek individual therapy. There is no judgment on how big or small you feel your problem is. Common concerns include: mood problems (depression, anxiety), self-esteem, work/life balance, stress/burnout, emotional regulation, trauma, breaking habits, relationship problems, parenting, and just overall growth or developing your authentic self.

Couples Therapy

Common concerns we support couples with include: Improving communication, creating alignment, enhancing connection, resolving conflict, and rebuilding trust.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of trauma therapy that allows clients to process their trauma without necessarily needing to talk about it. It works on a more subconscious level to help reduce emotional intensity and reduce or eliminate trauma triggers. It promotes more positive and adaptive beliefs about yourself despite the traumatic experiences you have had.

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can feel overwhelming—racing thoughts, constant worry, and a sense of being “on edge” even when nothing is wrong. In therapy, you’ll find a calm, supportive space to slow down, understand the roots of your anxiety, and develop tools to regain control. Together, we’ll explore patterns that keep you stuck and build practical strategies to manage stress, calm your nervous system, and navigate daily challenges with greater ease. Whether you’re experiencing panic, social anxiety, or persistent worry, you don’t have to face it alone. Healing is possible, and we’ll take each step together.
