You put others first, are kind, hard working, and attuned to the world around you. But what people don’t see is the struggle within. Familiar feelings of guilt, self-doubt, indecision, and inadequacy hover just below the surface. The longer you stay the course, the more invisible you become in your own life. You’ve bottled up your feelings and needs for too long - it's time for change. You don’t have to remain a prisoner to your past, the perceived expectations of others, or to "towing the line" of social norms. I’m here to help you find your voice, sense of self, and to create fulfillment in your life & relationships.

If you feel constantly on edge, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of yourself because of a relationship, you’re not alone. Many people come to therapy feeling confused, second-guessing their thoughts or feelings, or wondering how they “ended up here.” You might notice cycles of intense closeness followed by distance or conflict, difficulty setting boundaries, or a sense that you’re always walking on eggshells. In our work together, we’ll gently make sense of what you’ve been experiencing, how it’s affected you, and why it’s felt so hard to trust yourself.

You promised yourself it would be different next time. But next time comes, and you can’t seem to break out of the patterns that are keeping you stuck. You aren’t sure where it comes from or how to break free from it. You want better for yourself but you just don’t know how to get there. I want you to know that it's possible and with the right support, you can get there. Hello, my name is Mai and I help sensitive and neurodivergent minds (ADHD, giftedness, Autistics, HSPs) work through anxiety, relationship issues, executive function and trauma.

Are you struggling to find balance in your daily life challenges? I work with individuals and couples that may be experiencing emotional dysregulation, irregular feelings or feelings of insignificance in their lives or relationships. If you're experiencing difficulty with impulse control, overwhelming sadness or having difficulty processing grief or life transitions, you aren't alone. I understand the isolation of feeling dysregulated and trapped without the ability to express intense thoughts and feelings.

As humans it is easy to feel overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions and manage their impact on our relationships and reaching life goals. Making sense of life and feeling more balanced is possible when working with a therapist you feel connected and comfortable with. My therapy approach is grounded in the values of acceptance, compassion, authenticity, and collaboration.

You might be someone who understands difficult experiences intellectually but still feels their impact in your body—the constant vigilance, the shutdown, the exhaustion of managing everyone else's emotions. You're deeply self-aware and reflective, but stuck in patterns that feel hard to shift. You may be looking for approaches beyond talk therapy alone, wanting to address what feels unresolved at a nervous system level. Not simply coping strategies, but wanting to feel safer in your body and relationships, access feelings without overwhelm, feel genuinely at home in yourself, and create a life that reflects who you actually are.

Men that come to see me usually stuck, feeling paralyzed, stressed, anxious, depressed or directionless. You may question whether you are a good son, father, or partner. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, or just feeling disconnected from yourself and with others. Reaching out to a qualified therapist means taking the "first step". Many men try to solve their challenges on their own, with limited or short-term success. Often, these challenges can get more challenging and problematic. Take the first step today! No waitlist - Click the "website" to book a free 20-minute consultation today!
