Where therapy can help
Anxiety
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, a body that won't settle, or avoiding the things that matter to you. We look at what the anxiety is protecting you from, and how to meet it with more ease instead of organizing your life around it. More about therapy for anxiety.
Trauma
Trauma can leave lasting effects such as intrusive memories, feeling on guard, avoidance, or numbness. Treatment is paced and collaborative, and draws on trauma-focused methods alongside ACT and mindfulness-based skills. More about trauma therapy.
OCD
OCD involves unwanted thoughts and the things people do to relieve the distress they cause. Treatment centers on exposure and response prevention, supported by mindfulness-based and ACT methods. More about therapy for OCD.
Depression
Depression is often described as sadness, but it can also feel like flatness, exhaustion, or a distance from your own life. Sometimes it points to a gap between the life you want and the life you're living. Therapy can be a place to look at that gap honestly, and to search for what would make your days feel meaningful and connected again. If symptoms feel severe, we can also talk about additional support. More about therapy for depression.
Life transitions
A new job, a relationship ending, becoming a parent, or a sense that something no longer fits can all unsettle who you thought you were. Therapy gives you room to take stock of what you're carrying forward and what you're ready to let go.
Teens and families
For adolescents, therapy is a place to be heard without having to perform. I work with teens individually and bring parents in when it helps, so the family can understand each other better and move forward together. More about therapy for teens and children and families.
Relationships
I'm familiar and comfortable working with people in all kinds of relationship structures, including polyamorous, open, and other non-monogamous relationships, as well as more traditional ones. I don't assume one model of what a good relationship looks like, and I'm glad to work with the arrangement that is true for you.
Gender and identity
I work with people across the gender spectrum, including gender diverse teens and their families. Exploring who you are, including your gender, is a healthy and normal part of development, especially in adolescence. Therapy can be a space to explore that at your own pace, with support for you and, when it helps, for the people close to you.
