Do you feel exhausted from masking who you are, managing anxiety or ADHD, or feeling disconnected in your relationships despite trying so hard to “get it right”? You may feel stuck in your head, unsure how to show up authentically without fear of rejection or disappointing others. Maybe relationships feel strained, identity feels confusing or still unfolding, or old belief systems no longer fit? Many people want relief, clarity, and deeper connection but aren’t sure where to start. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening internally, and begin building a life and relationships that feel more true to you.
I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ adults, neurodivergent individuals, and couples navigating anxiety, ADHD, identity exploration, religious deconstruction, ethical non-monogamy, and relationship stress. My approach is collaborative and affirming, with a focus on nervous system regulation, emotional insight, and skills that support healthier relationships
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve spent a long time feeling misunderstood or carrying things alone. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and not rushed toward answers. If you’re curious about therapy or wondering whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out and explore that together.
