areas i work with
Most of what brings people into therapy isn't one discrete problem. It's a pattern — something that keeps showing up across relationships, situations, and versions of yourself. The areas below are where those patterns most often live.
how the pattern feels
anxiety
Anxiety doesn't always look like panic. More often it looks like a mind that won't quiet down, a body that's always bracing, or an exhausting effort to hold everything together — without being quite sure what you're holding together against.
depression
Sometimes depression looks like sadness. More often it looks like going through the motions while feeling quietly absent from your own life — present enough to function, but not present enough to feel like any of it is really yours.
where the pattern starts & lives
relationships
& couples
The way we learned to relate to people — what's safe to need, how conflict gets handled, where we end and someone else begins — doesn't stay in the past. It shows up in every close relationship we have, often in ways that are hard to see from the inside.
adult family
dynamics
The family we grew up in shapes us in ways that follow us long after we've left. Sibling dynamics, family roles, estrangement, aging parents, the weight of expectations that were never spoken aloud — this work is about understanding what you inherited and deciding what you want to carry forward.
trauma &
complex trauma
Trauma doesn't always announce itself. It can live in how much you trust people, how you respond when things feel threatening, or a persistent sense that you have to stay ready — even when you're safe. This work is about understanding where that came from, and what it might mean to put some of it down.
who you’ve had to become
burnout &
perfectionism
Perfectionism and people-pleasing usually started as smart adaptations — ways of staying safe, earning love, or maintaining control in environments that required it. This work is about understanding what those patterns were protecting, and whether they're still serving you.
life
transitions
Major change — even change you chose — can surface questions about who you are that you thought were already answered. This work isn't just about adjusting to new circumstances. It's about understanding who you're becoming in the process.
identity &
self-worth
Underneath questions about self-worth, purpose, and direction, there's usually a pattern — something about what you learned to believe about yourself, and what it's cost you to keep believing it. This is work for people who are ready to look at that honestly, even without clear answers yet.
