Where we start
Three of the most common reasons people reach out.
A snapshot of the work I do most often. Each links into a fuller description below — and the full list of focus areas continues from there.
Areas of focus
Specialties.
These are the threads I work with most often. The list isn't exhaustive — if something here resonates, reach out.
Anxiety
We slow the spiral down, look at the patterns, and find ways to live with a quieter nervous system — not a perfect one.
Common signs
- Racing thoughts at night
- Constant low-grade dread
- Overpreparing for everything
- Trouble being present
Depression
Whether it's a heavy, immovable fog or a quieter flatness, we work to make small, real shifts back toward your life.
Common signs
- Loss of interest or motivation
- Heavy fatigue
- Self-critical inner voice
- Withdrawing from people you love
Life Transitions
New job, new city, new relationship, new version of you. Transitions deserve more space than they usually get.
Common signs
- Feeling unmoored or unsure
- Grieving an old chapter
- Imposter feelings
- Decision fatigue
Identity & Self-Worth
The slow, careful work of figuring out who you are underneath what you were taught to be.
Common signs
- Chronic self-doubt
- Feeling like a different person in different rooms
- Questioning who you really are
- Difficulty knowing what you want
Relational Patterns
We look at the patterns you keep finding yourself inside — and what it would take to do something different.
Common signs
- Repeating dynamics across relationships
- People-pleasing
- Trouble setting limits
- Feeling unseen by people close to you
Grief
Grief for people, places, identities, futures. Whatever you've lost, you don't have to make sense of it alone.
Common signs
- Persistent sadness or numbness
- Trouble re-engaging with daily life
- Anniversary reactions
- Feeling like no one understands
Approach
Modalities I draw from.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I draw from several evidence-based approaches and tailor what we do to what you need.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Examining the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)Building a life around your values, even when it's uncomfortable.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) — informedWorking with the different 'parts' of you with curiosity and care.
- Relational therapyUsing the therapeutic relationship itself as a place to grow.
- Trauma-informed careA pace and posture that prioritizes safety, choice, and trust.
