SPECIALTIES & EXPERTISE
Therapy for the Things That Are Hard to Explain
Behind every symptom is a story.
You might be dealing with a specific concern, going through a major life change, struggling in your relationships, or trying to understand a pattern that keeps showing up.
Sometimes you know exactly what’s wrong.
And sometimes you just know that you’re tired of feeling this way.
Areas I Commonly Work With
Anxiety
You may not think of yourself as an anxious person. You may just be someone who thinks through every possibility, replays conversations, has trouble making decisions, or rarely feels completely “off duty.”
Anxiety can show up in ways that are easy to overlook, including overthinking, perfectionism, chronic stress, and difficulty letting yourself relax. You can start to understand what keeps your mind on high alert, where those patterns come from, and begin to develop a different relationship with uncertainty.

Relationships & Dating
Relationships can bring out patterns that are difficult to see on your own. Maybe you find yourself overthinking what someone meant, having trouble asking for what you need, pulling back when things get close, or ending up in the same kinds of dynamics again and again.
We can look at the patterns you bring into your relationships, whether that’s with a partner, a friend, or a family member, and what you want to do differently.
If you’re noticing these patterns in your dating life, my dating quiz is a place to start.
Life Transitions
Some transitions are exciting. Others are difficult, unexpected, or simply leave you wondering what comes next. Starting a new chapter, changing careers, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, or adjusting to a life that looks different than you expected can bring up questions about who you are and what you want.
You may find yourself questioning decisions you once felt certain about, grieving what you’re leaving behind, or trying to figure out who you’re becoming. Together, we’ll take some time to make sense of what’s changing, what you’re leaving behind, and what you want to carry forward.

Identity
Sometimes the hardest questions aren’t about what’s wrong, but about who you are and what you actually want. You may be questioning parts of yourself that once felt settled, feeling pulled between different expectations, or realizing that the life you’ve built doesn’t quite feel like your own.
Identity can shift as your relationships, priorities, values, and circumstances change. Together, we’ll make room to explore what’s yours, what’s been shaped by other people’s expectations, and what you want to hold onto as you move forward.

Trauma
Trauma can change the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. You may feel on guard, have trouble trusting, avoid certain situations, or find yourself reacting more strongly than you expect.
You don’t have to minimize what happened just because you’re functioning now. You can start to understand how those experiences continue to shape you and what it might mean to feel less defined by them.
