Our Team
Maybe you look like you’re doing “fine” on the outside—going to work, showing up for friends, getting things done—but inside, something feels off. Maybe your anxiety won’t quiet down, your mood feels heavy or numb, or you’re exhausted from constantly pushing through. Life wasn't supposed to feel like this.
Many people feel anxious, alone, or disillusioned with the world around them, struggling to make sense of grief, loss, or experiences that have quietly shaped their dissatisfaction. I offer a space to slow down, understand what isn’t working (with a little humor and a lot of kindness), and heal in a sustainable way.

You’ve spent your life masking and pretending to be someone else, and you’re tired of doing that. Maybe you’ve found it hard to maintain focus on uninteresting tasks, manage your impulse control, or adapt well to changes in your life. Feeling misunderstood and unworthy has probably contributed to feelings of depression and anxiety that are likely causing you to seek out therapy now. I’ll be the first to tell you that you don’t have to fit into neurotypical expectations to be valuable and worthy. You deserve to feel more in control of your emotions and impulses, and you are worthy of a life that feels joyful and fulfilling!
