Who I Support.
If you’re ready to stop hiding, pretending, or masking and start showing up more fully, this might be the space for you.
-
Anxiety can feel like you're always bracing for something—trying to stay ahead, stay in control, stay "okay." In therapy, we slow down and listen to what your anxiety is really trying to tell you, so you can move through life with more ease, clarity, and self-trust.
-
You’ve spent so long trying to get it right—maybe now it’s time to be real instead of perfect. Together, we can explore what healthy striving looks like without all the pressure and self-criticism.
-
When your relationships have left you feeling unseen, small, or not quite like yourself, this can be a space to feel understood and start showing up more fully—just as you are.
-
What once felt like certainty now feels heavy with shame or pressure. Therapy can be a place to sort through it all and start to trust your own voice again.
-
Maybe you’ve always felt a little out of step with the world—and now you’re coming to understand that those differences are meaningful and deserve care, not correction. This can be a space to find what truly works for your brain and body, instead of pushing through what doesn’t.
Connect. Ask questions. Find the right fit.
