Are you finding it hard to cope with anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship challenges that affect your daily life, your connections with others, or your ability to focus at work? Do you often feel drained, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself as you try to meet expectations or simply make it through the day? You may even catch yourself wondering whether life could feel different—lighter, more meaningful, more manageable. In today’s world, it’s not uncommon to feel anxious, uncertain, or weighed down while navigating loss, healing from difficult relationships, or searching for a renewed sense of purpose.
At Two Yellow Chairs, LLC, we provide specialized therapy services for individuals looking for support and transformation. How do I do this? By offering a safe, inclusive space with evidence-based treatments, I strive to guide you to build emotional resilience, improve relationships, and rediscover your sense of purpose.
Reaching out for help takes courage and strength—things we don't always have when we are struggling, and I want you to know you're not alone. Whatever life challenge you are facing, I'm here to support you. Together, we can work towards your improved emotional well-being, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life. I look forward to hearing from you.

I work with clients who are navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. In our initial sessions, we'll take time to thoroughly explore the issues you're facing and collaborate on a personalized plan to address them. Many of my clients begin to notice a gradual improvement in their symptoms within the first month, with continued progress as we work together.
