From the outside, things look fine. On the inside, it’s a different story. You might be used to pushing through stress, overthinking everything, and/or holding yourself to a standard that’s hard to maintain. Maybe you’re showing up, getting things done, and doing what’s expected, but it comes with anxiety, self-doubt, a constant feeling that you’re falling short. At some point, it stops feeling sustainable.

In my own journey, I found that silencing myself, putting my needs on the backburner, and living in the shadows was normal. Perhaps you too, have come to understand that much of our authentic selves can be suppressed and tainted by our experiences with sociocultural issues, traumas, anxiety burnout, depression, the multiple demands placed on us, and other stressors that make life difficult to balance. You may have been taught that in order to survive, or even thrive, you had to put yourself second —or last. Through therapy, we center your experiences and unlearn what does not serve you so that you can go from surviving to aligning.

Hi! I'm Kat Cruz. I've been a licensed marriage and family therapist since 2017. I believe that change is possible and that we all deserve the chance to live with joy, purpose, and meaning. I feel inspired to help others connect with their own authentic power and believe that everything we need to heal is already within us. Sometimes we just need some help to access that.

I work with adults and couples struggling with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, relationship conflict, emotional disconnection, people pleasing, perfectionism, and life transitions. Many feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or exhausted from carrying everything on their own. Some feel unheard in relationships, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. I help clients better understand themselves, improve communication, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop healthier coping skills so they can feel more grounded, connected, confident, and emotionally balanced in their daily lives.

Hello! I commend you for taking this step. I typically work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, identity work/exploration, and how all of this can impact community and societal views. I strongly believe that the client is the expert of their own life, and I hope to make therapy a collaborative process as opposed to the therapist being seen as the sole person with all the answers. I also strongly believe that society has an impact on how we view ourselves in the world. This can often not alight with our own beliefs or how we identify. As a result, we often have conversations regarding deconstructing societal ideas.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions or past trauma can feel overwhelming, making even daily tasks seem unmanageable. These challenges may stem from childhood experiences, ongoing stress, or difficult life transitions, leaving you feeling stuck or emotionally drained.
