Explore the ways that I help below to see how we can work together to help you regain balance, clarity, and resilience.
Anxiety Therapy - Manage Stress and Feeling Overwhelmed Effectively
High Functioning individuals often face intense pressure, which can lead to persistent anxiety, worry, or tension. Through a combination of CBT, EMDR, mindfulness and somatic healing integrated with Depth Perspective (Jungian) talk therapy, I help clients identify the root causes of anxiety and develop practical tools to manage it. The focus of my therapy is to help you understand patterns, build emotional resilience, and restore a sense of calm and control in your daily life.
Trauma Therapy - Healing Old Wounds with EMDR & Depth Perspective (Jungian) talk therapy
Trauma can linger beneath the surface, affecting thoughts, emotions, and physical wellbeing. Using EMDR along side Depth Perspective (Jungian) talk therapy, I help clients safely process traumatic experiences, release emotional burdens, and transform the patterns that keep them stuck. This integrative approach allows high functioning individuals to regain focus, confidence, and emotional stability while addressing the underlying causes of their distress.
Major life transitions such as career changes, relocations, relationship shifts, or personal growth milestones can feel overwhelming, even for high functioning individuals. I help clients navigate these periods of uncertainty with clarity, self-compassion, and actionable strategies. By combining insight oriented exploration with practical tools, we create a roadmap for growth and adaptation during life’s most challenging moments.

I help clients explore the connection between their mind and body using integrative therapeutic techniques, including Depth Perspective Jungian) talk therapy, CBT, and somatic awareness.
