My Areas of Specialty
I help individuals navigate challenges related to religious trauma, spiritual questioning, deconstruction, or shifts in belief, supporting you process doubt, guilt, and identity.
Religious Trauma / Faith Crises
Social & Performance Anxiety
I work with clients struggling with social anxiety, performance anxiety, or perfectionism offering strategies to manage worry, and reduce self-criticism.
Academic / Career Burnout
I work with students and professionals who feel weighed down by pressure, family expectations, or major life decisions. Together, we’ll explore ways to unburden and find clarity.
Religious Trauma / Faith Crises
Wrestling with questions of faith or spirituality can feel deeply unsettling—especially when it touches your sense of identity, belonging, and family relationships. You may be experiencing doubt about long-held beliefs, in the process of deconstruction, navigating the weight of guilt or shame, or carrying wounds from spiritual abuse within your household or community. These struggles often bring feelings of grief, anger, or loneliness, particularly if loved ones don’t understand or accept your journey.
Therapy provides a space to process these experiences without judgment. Together, we can untangle painful beliefs, address the impact of unhealthy dynamics, and explore how your faith or worldview may shift—whether that means reshaping your spirituality, redefining your relationship to religion, or moving toward separation altogether. The goal is to help you move forward with clarity, self-compassion, and a foundation that feels authentic and life-giving.
Social & Performance Anxiety / Perfectionism
Struggling with social anxiety, performance anxiety, or perfectionism can leave you feeling trapped in cycles of overthinking, self-criticism, and worry—especially when expectations from school, work, or family feel overwhelming. You may find yourself pushing to meet impossible standards, only to feel anxious, exhausted, or disappointed. Over time, this erodes confidence, fuels isolation, and diminishes joy in relationships, career, school, and daily life.
Therapy offers a space to untangle these patterns without judgment or self-blame. Together, we can explore the underlying beliefs driving anxiety, address the impact on your social, academic, or professional life, and develop practical strategies for managing stress. Our work isn’t only about reducing anxiety—it’s about building confidence, resilience, and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
Career Stress & School Challenges
School, work, and career decisions can bring a heavy weight of expectation—from family, culture, or even your own inner critic. You may feel pressure to succeed, doubt whether you’ve made the right choices, or worry about disappointing others. For students and teens, deciding on a future path can feel overwhelming. For adults, the stress of burnout, changing jobs, or shifting careers can stir up fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty.
Therapy can provide space to step back from the noise and unpack these pressures. Together, we’ll explore the roots of stress, clarify your goals and values, and find ways to move forward with greater confidence. Whether you’re navigating a career change, questioning your direction, or simply trying to balance expectations, counseling can help you feel more grounded and free to choose a path that truly fits.
