It is so common in today's world to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, even when things look “fine” on the outside. To have anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or emotional overload taking up more space than you want. We aim to provide therapy that feels genuine and warm, not clinical or distant, so that you can more deeply understand yourself, regulate your emotions more consistently and feel more grounded. Together, we'll slow down, explore emotions, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change in a way that feels supportive and authentic.
At Clay Collaborative, we specialize in collaborative, relational, human-centered therapy for children, teens, and adults. I have specific training and interest in working with those who are pregnant, postpartum, or navigating conception or parenthood, as well as people who experience anxiety or the lingering impact of traumatic experiences.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you are unsure about what exactly you need or where to start. But you don't have to have the right words or a clear plan to get started - show up exactly as you are and we'll take the next step together, at your pace. I look forward to connecting with you!
