Specialties
This period of life can feel as though everything is in motion—careers are unfolding, relationships are shifting, and the sense of who you are is still taking shape. You might feel pressure to make the "right" choices while also questioning what you truly want. It is common to feel stuck between expectations and uncertainty, especially when your internal world does not match the image others see. If you are feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, that makes sense—these are big, formative years. Our work can offer clarity and direction, not by rushing to answers, but by helping you explore your values, your story, and the patterns that are shaping your path. Therapy can offer a grounding space to reflect, clarify values, break old patterns, and begin to live with more intention and self-understanding.
Emerging Adulthood & Young Adults
Becoming a parent—or attempting to—can stir up a wide range of emotions, many of which are unexpected or difficult to name. You might be grappling with physical changes, emotional highs and lows, or the weight of invisible expectations. It is not uncommon to feel as though you are supposed to be grateful, even when you are also anxious, depleted, or questioning yourself. These experiences deserve care, not judgment. I offer compassionate, attuned care for birthing and non-birthing parents through all phases of the reproductive journey—including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I support individuals and couples as they navigate the emotional complexities of trying to conceive, preparing for and recovering from birth, adjusting to new identities, and managing shifts in relationships and daily life. This can be a time of profound change—filled with joy, uncertainty, pressure, and vulnerability. I also hold space for the grief that may accompany miscarriage or other forms of loss. My approach centers your lived experience, with the goal of helping you feel more supported and connected to yourself and those around you.

Anxiety & Panic
Living with anxiety can feel like being constantly on edge, bracing for something you cannot quite name. You may find it hard to slow your thoughts, feel safe in your body, or fully enjoy the present moment. While anxiety often seems like the problem, it often points us toward something deeper—fears, conflicts, or needs that have not had space to be heard. Therapy offers an opportunity to turn toward these experiences with curiosity rather than fear. I will support you in understanding the roots of your anxiety and in developing tools that truly fit your life. Over time, you can begin to feel more balanced, more empowered, and more at home within yourself.
When you are living with depression, it can feel as though the world has gone dim—like you are moving through life in a fog that others do not see. You may feel disconnected from yourself, burdened by guilt, or unsure how to begin feeling better. These feelings can be deeply isolating, especially if you are accustomed to holding things together for others. In therapy, we will create space for your emotions to be understood—not minimized or fixed, but explored with care and respect. We will work together to reconnect you to what brings meaning, build new coping strategies, and shift patterns that are keeping you stuck. Healing is not linear, but it is possible—and you do not have to navigate it alone.
Depression & Mood Challenges
Whether you are partnered or single, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the complexities of romantic connection. You might find yourself in familiar cycles—pulling away, caretaking, mistrusting—or struggling to express your needs clearly. These patterns often have deep roots and can be challenging to change without support. Therapy offers a space to untangle the dynamics that show up in your relationships and to understand how your past may still be shaping your present. I will help you become clear about what you want, strengthen your boundaries, and show up more fully in your connections. The goal is not perfection, but authenticity—and relationships that feel more mutual, safe, and satisfying.

Family Turmoil
Family relationships can be complicated, especially when you are trying to grow into yourself while still carrying the weight of old roles or unresolved pain. You may feel caught in patterns you did not choose or unsure how to relate to family members without losing your sense of self. These dynamics can be painful, even if they are familiar. Our work together will focus on understanding the origins of these patterns and how they manifest in your current life. Whether you are seeking more peace, more distance, or simply more clarity, therapy can help you move toward family relationships that feel less fraught and more manageable. You get to define what family means—and what kind of connection feels right for you.
If you are constantly pushing yourself to be better, do more, or never disappoint, it is easy to feel as though rest or self-acceptance is not allowed. Perfectionism often shows up as overachievement on the outside and deep self-doubt on the inside. You may feel that no success is ever enough to quiet your inner critic. Therapy can help you step back and examine where these patterns began and what they are costing you now. Together, we will work to soften that inner pressure and help you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. You can still be ambitious and driven—just without chronic anxiety, burnout, or shame.
Perfectionism & Self-Doubt
Major Life Transitions
Big changes—wanted or unwanted—tend to bring up big feelings. Whether you are starting over, letting go, or stepping into something unknown, it is normal to feel disoriented or unsure of yourself. Even positive transitions can bring grief, doubt, and growing pains. Therapy gives you space to slow down and make sense of what is shifting, so you can move through change with more clarity and steadiness. I will support you in understanding what you are leaving behind, what you are stepping into, and how to stay connected to yourself in the process. You do not need to have it all figured out—you just need a place to land while you find your footing.
Performance & Work Stress
High achievement often comes with high pressure—and that pressure can become overwhelming, even when you appear successful from the outside. Whether you are navigating school, career transitions, or long-term burnout, you might feel as though your worth is constantly tied to performance. I work with individuals to explore how these beliefs developed and how they are impacting your well-being today. Therapy can help you reconnect to your goals on your own terms, create space for rest, and build a life that honors both your drive and your humanity.
