Perhaps something major has happened in your life that has spurred your symptoms & you need help making sense of the event.

Therapy for Depression & Anxiety
Who’s it for
Counseling & therapy is for you if you’re ready to heal, dig deep, and experience relief. You’re driven by a desire to not be controlled by your past and you’re open to reflecting on your past experiences, thoughts, and behaviors to improve your life. While trauma therapy does NOT require you to detail the events of your trauma, you ARE ready to unburden yourself from carrying the secrets or the heaviness of the experience.
You understand that this process may be challenging and uncomfortable, but you believe healing is possible and know the rewards will be invaluable. I would be honored to help guide you in that journey.
We’ll use techniques from mindfulness, CBT, IFS, psychodynamic therapy & more to help you foster insight, get unstuck, & move into the life you desire. It may be hard or uncomfortable work at times, but the end result will be deep transformation & irrevocably belong to you. Your results will be worth their weight in gold.
Does this sound like you? Let’s chat. I offer in-person, online sessions, & flexible times to accommodate your busy schedule.
Who it’s not for
If you're looking solely for validation or a place to vent, I may not be the right therapist for you. Therapy is about challenging the status quo, uncovering & healing trauma, & untangling deeply ingrained narratives & perspectives that keep us stuck. True transformation requires time, embracing the process, & being willing to feel & sit with discomfort. Last but not least, it requires being willing to try new things to foster real change
Therapy with me is not for everyone & that’s ok. Those who shy away from feeling uncomfortable or looking into their past will likely not enjoy working with me or get the results they’re looking for.
If you're seeking a quick solution to your stress, hoping a TikTok hack can get you unstuck, to simply return to old habits, I might not be the right fit for you. My approach to therapy is centered on doing the deeper work necessary for lasting change, which takes time. While I do provide tools to help with everyday challenges, the focus is on fostering sustainable, long-term growth.
FAQs
-
Anxiety is more than just stress—it’s a persistent state of worry, nervousness, or fear that can feel hard to control. It often shows up as racing thoughts, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of dread. For many, it feels like the mind is “always on,” preparing for something to go wrong—even when everything looks fine on the outside.
-
Depression can feel like a heaviness you can’t shake. It often shows up as low energy, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, difficulty focusing, hopelessness, or feeling emotionally numb. It’s not just sadness—it can feel like moving through life underwater. Therapy helps uncover what’s beneath the surface and slowly bring light and movement back in.
-
Anxiety is often more constant—like a steady hum of worry, tension, or overthinking. Panic disorder includes sudden, intense episodes of fear that feel physical (racing heart, chest tightness, shortness of breath). These “panic attacks” can feel like they come out of nowhere and may lead to a fear of them happening again.
-
Anxiety can show up in many forms, including:
– Generalized Anxiety (constant worry)
– Social Anxiety (fear of judgment or embarrassment)
– Panic Disorder (sudden panic attacks)
– Phobias (intense fear of specific things or situations)
– Health Anxiety (obsessive worry about illness)
– OCD or trauma-related anxiety (intrusive thoughts or hypervigilance) -
Sessions are a mix of deep listening, gentle exploration, and real tools you can use in your daily life. I draw from practices like mindfulness, somatic work, IFS, EMDR, and CBT—always tailored to what you need most that day. It’s a space where you can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll take it from there.
-
Yes. Therapy can help you untangle the patterns keeping you stuck—whether that’s constant worry, emotional numbness, self-criticism, or burnout. You’ll gain tools to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with yourself, and feel more grounded, clear, and emotionally supported.
