You're exhausted from anxiety running the show – overthinking every decision, every message, every interaction. Maybe depression has you feeling stuck, or intrusive thoughts won't leave you alone. You're struggling in your relationships, carrying wounds from past trauma, or navigating the overwhelming shifts of postpartum life or fertility challenges.
You want to feel like yourself again. To stop performing and start actually living. To set boundaries without guilt, process your feelings and build an authentic life. You need a space where you can be real without judgment - where you're never too much and healing is possible.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and relationship issues, plus women's issues, postpartum, and fertility. I use DBT, trauma-focused therapy, and other evidence-based approaches in a way that's warm and fits your life. We'll work on managing intrusive thoughts, processing past trauma, setting boundaries, and building genuine self-worth.
I know reaching out is hard when you're already overwhelmed. You're not broken, you're not too much, and you don't have to figure this out alone. I'd love to work you and support you in finding your true self and feeling better!
