Specialties

Anxiety - Sometimes anxiety is internal: worry that won't quiet, dread before ordinary situations, panic that arrives without warning. Sometimes it lives in interactions: leaving conversations unsettled, being unsure how you came across. And sometimes it’s a sense that something frightening is coming, even if you are not sure what.

Depression - A heaviness that doesn't lift. Going through the motions. Somehow the things that used to matter stopped mattering. Good things arrive but don't feel good, or the feeling is just gone almost as soon as it comes. Sometimes there's sadness. Often it's just bleakness or emptiness.

Sensitivity - Reactions that feel outsized, a tendency to register everything intensely, whether it is noise, physical sensation, the emotional temperature of a room. The world feels genuinely loud in ways others don't seem to notice. There’s not much of a buffer between you and everything coming in.

Imposter syndrome - A persistent sense of not quite being yourself, like you're performing. It might not even feel entirely fake, perhaps more like a version of you that's been turned up to meet what the situation requires. But there's still a waiting to be found out, and it's exhausting.

Rumination - TThe thought or worry you can't stop returning to. The conversation you keep replaying. Or maybe the conviction that if you just think about it a little more you'll finally figure it out.

Relationship issues - So much of what makes life feel meaningful happens in relationships. But relationships can also be a source of tremendous pain. The same patterns keep showing up: with partners, family, friends. You find yourself in situations you didn't choose and can't quite get out of.
