What to expect

Early sessions can move at a thoughtful pace

In early sessions, we may talk about what brings you to therapy, what has helped or not helped before, what feels most urgent, and what you hope may feel different over time. Therapy can move at a pace that respects both your goals and your nervous system.

This may be a fit if...

You feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in your head
You are carrying grief, trauma, or painful past experiences
You struggle with shame, self-criticism, or people-pleasing

You are navigating a major life transition
You want therapy that is warm, reflective, and practical

Therapy focus

Common pieces we may work with

Anxiety, trauma, and self-worth are often interconnected. Therapy is less about fixing one problem at a time and more about understanding how the pieces influence each other.

Anxiety and OCD patterns

Anxiety can feel like energy and movement, sometimes more than you want. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety completely, because anxiety can be useful at times. The work is learning how to manage it so it does not take over.

When anxiety starts to overlap with OCD, worry can get stuck in a spiral. The more you try to fix the thought in the moment, the more powerful it can become over time.

How we get there

Build tolerance for feeling worry without avoiding it or getting swept away by it.
Practice coping skills that help you return to the present when anxiety spikes.
Use gradual exposure work when helpful, taking small steps toward what feels scary until it becomes more manageable.

Self-worth and relationship with self

Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for so much else. If that relationship feels like a hot mess, it can be hard to feel grounded, trust yourself, or be kind when things get hard.

This work includes learning how to feel your emotions without judging them, noticing how self-criticism builds up, and understanding how the way you treat yourself shows up in your relationships.

How we get there

Strengthen boundaries, like walls around a house, so your space feels safer and worth protecting.
Build communication skills so you can express what you feel and need more clearly.
Practice showing up for yourself with more steadiness, honesty, and care.

Trauma, grief, and shame

Trauma can leave you feeling like you have lost control of your thoughts, emotions, or body. Sometimes it feels overwhelming, and sometimes it feels like nothing at all.

Therapy can be a place to loosen shame and self-blame, understand why certain patterns developed, and meet the parts of you that learned how to survive with more curiosity and kindness.

How we get there

Make sense of reactions and patterns without blaming yourself for having them.
Allow space to grieve what happened, what was lost, and what you hoped for.
Learn to live with the past as one part of you, not all of you.

Other areas I focus on in therapy

Managing anxiety, stress, and those too-much moments
Navigating OCD patterns or intrusive thoughts
Working through trauma and grief
Overcoming shame and self-criticism
Building self-esteem and confidence
Improving relationships and connection
Setting boundaries and communicating effectively
Handling big emotions and developing coping skills
Managing life transitions with more clarity

There is no magic cure, but there is a lot to be said for gaining a better understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the world around you, then figuring out how to exist in a way that works better for you.
