Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, physical tension, overwhelm, or difficulty slowing down. In therapy, we work to better understand your internal experience, reduce reactivity, and build practical tools for managing stress while also addressing deeper contributing patterns.
Depression can involve sadness, numbness, fatigue, and a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. Therapy provides space to explore what may be contributing to these experiences while gently supporting reconnection, meaning, and emotional engagement.
I take a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and pacing. Trauma work may involve understanding how past experiences continue to impact the present, strengthening emotional regulation, and creating space for healing without becoming overwhelmed.
Life transitions—planned or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, grief, and questions about identity or direction. Therapy offers space to reflect, process, and reconnect with what feels most aligned and meaningful moving forward.
For those experiencing difficulty with organization, focus, task initiation, or chronic overwhelm, therapy can support both insight and structure. We work on building practical systems while also understanding the emotional and cognitive patterns that contribute to feeling stuck.
Relationships can be both deeply meaningful and deeply challenging. In couples work, I help partners identify and slow down reactive patterns, improve communication, and better understand one another’s emotional experience, with a focus on connection, clarity, and repair rather than blame.
I also work with individuals experiencing schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. Treatment is grounded in respect, stability, and collaboration, with a focus on supporting insight, reducing distress, strengthening coping strategies, and improving overall functioning and quality of life. Care is individualized and may involve coordination with other providers when appropriate.
I provide an affirming, nonjudgmental space for individuals and couples within the LGBTQ+ and kink communities. Therapy is grounded in respect, authenticity, and collaboration, with attention to the unique experiences, relationships, identities, and challenges that can arise while navigating personal growth, connection, stigma, or emotional well-being.
Bipolar disorder involves shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels that can range from periods of depression to periods of elevated mood or increased energy. These changes can feel disruptive and may impact relationships, daily life, and overall stability.
In therapy, the focus is on supporting mood stability, strengthening insight into patterns, and developing practical strategies for managing symptoms over time. Treatment is collaborative and paced to meet your needs, with attention to both emotional experience and day-to-day life.
