You Don’t Have To Carry It All Alone
Many of the clients I work with have spent years carrying burdens that no one else can see. They are successful, capable, and resilient. Beneath the surface, they often feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from managing the lasting effects of trauma & PTSD, complex trauma & C-PTSD, chronic stress & burnout, traumatic grief, depression, anxiety, women’s issues, or LGBTQIA+ related stressors.
Healing begins with having a space where you no longer have to hold everything by yourself.
Together, we'll explore what's contributing to your struggles, make sense of your experiences, and create a personalized path toward healing that honors your unique story.
What Brings People to Therapy?
Sometimes, It's About Knowing Something Needs to Change.
Most clients don't begin searching for a therapist because they've necessarily identified a specific diagnosis. More often, they reach out because they're tired of carrying the weight of what they're experiencing on their own.
They feel overwhelmed by anxiety, disconnected from themselves, struggling to move forward after a painful experience, or caught in patterns they can't seem to break despite their best efforts.
While these experiences can look different from person to person, they often share a common thread: something is getting in the way of living the life they want to live.
Therapy provides an opportunity to better understand what's keeping you stuck, process what you've been carrying, and begin moving toward meaningful and lasting change.
You May Recognize Yourself in One or More of These Experiences
The concerns below represent some of the most common reasons my clients seek therapy. While the details of your story are uniquely your own, you may find that one, or several, of these experiences resonate with where you are today.
“I Can't Stop Thinking About What Happened.”
Trauma & PTSD
Memories of a traumatic experience can continue to feel present long after the event has ended. Intrusive thoughts, nightmares, avoidance, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, and difficulty feeling safe can make it hard to fully engage in daily life. Through personalized, evidence-based trauma treatment, we'll work together to help you process what happened, reduce the impact trauma has on your present, and move toward healing and recovery.
“I've Been Carrying This for as Long as I Can Remember.”
Complex Trauma & C-PTSD
The effects of long-term or repeated trauma often extend far beyond individual memories. Difficult experiences can shape self-worth, relationships, boundaries, trust, and the way you view yourself and the world around you. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns, heal from wounds that may have been carried for years, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others with greater self-compassion and confidence.
“My Mind Never Seems to Slow Down.”
Anxiety
Constant worry, overthinking, racing thoughts, and feeling overwhelmed can leave you emotionally and physically exhausted. Anxiety often keeps people stuck preparing for the next problem, making it difficult to fully enjoy the present moment. Together, we'll explore the factors contributing to your anxiety while developing practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, balanced, and in control.
“I'm Exhausted From Holding Everything Together.”
Depression
Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. You may feel disconnected from yourself, lose interest in things you once enjoyed, struggle with motivation, or find yourself questioning whether things will ever get better. Therapy provides a supportive space to understand what's contributing to these feelings, address the underlying challenges you're facing, and reconnect with hope, purpose, and the parts of yourself that may feel distant right now.
“Everything Changed After My Loss.”
Traumatic Grief & Loss
Losing someone you love can be one of life's most painful experiences. When a loss is sudden, unexpected, traumatic, or particularly difficult to make sense of, grief can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. You may find yourself replaying events, struggling with feelings of guilt, anger, numbness, or disbelief, or wondering how to move forward while carrying such profound loss.
Therapy provides a compassionate space to process your grief, honor the relationship you shared, navigate the complex emotions that often accompany traumatic loss, and learn how to carry your loss while continuing to move forward in a meaningful way.
“Life Doesn't Look the Way I Thought It Would.”
Challenging Life Transitions
Major life changes can challenge our sense of stability, identity, and direction. Whether you're navigating a career change, divorce, parenthood, an empty nest, retirement, relocation, relationship changes, or another significant transition, even positive changes can bring unexpected stress, uncertainty, and grief.
Therapy offers a space to process what's changing, make sense of where you are now and where you want to be, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing while helping you adapt to this new chapter in a way that feels aligned with your values and goals.
“I've Spent So Much of My Life Taking Care of Everyone Else.”
Women’s Issues
Balancing responsibilities, relationships, caregiving roles, career demands, and personal expectations can leave little room to focus on your own needs. Over time, this can contribute to burnout, self-doubt, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy provides a space dedicated entirely to you—helping you gain clarity, strengthen your sense of self, and create healthier patterns that support your well-being and long-term growth.
“I Don't Even Remember What It Feels Like to Not Be Exhausted.”
Chronic Stress & Burnout
When you've been operating in survival mode for so long, feeling overwhelmed can start to feel normal. Constant pressure, endless responsibilities, and the expectation to always keep going can leave you emotionally, mentally, and physically depleted. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what's driving your stress, reconnect with your needs, and develop sustainable ways to recover from burnout while creating a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
“I Want to Be Fully Myself Without Feeling Like I Have to Explain Who I Am.”
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
Everyone deserves a therapeutic space where they feel respected, understood, and affirmed. Whether you're navigating identity exploration, coming out, relationship concerns, minority stress, family dynamics, or the lasting effects of discrimination or trauma, therapy provides a supportive environment where your experiences are honored without judgment. Together, we can focus on healing, building resilience, and helping you move toward a life that feels authentic, connected, and true to who you are.
Looking Beyond the Symptoms
Trauma. Anxiety. Depression. Burnout. Stress. Grief.
While these concerns can exist independently, they don't always tell the full story.
Sometimes our struggles are connected to experiences that taught us the world wasn't always safe, predictable, or supportive. Over time, these experiences can shape the way we think, feel, relate to others, and respond to stressors.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, my approach explores the deeper roots of what's keeping you stuck.
When we understand the "why" behind our struggles, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.
Therapy Should Be As Unique As Your Story
No two people experience trauma or life in the same way. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to healing.
My practice is built around providing personalized, evidence-based care that allows the time and space needed for meaningful recovery, no matter what you’re going through..
Whether we're working through the effects of PTSD, navigating anxiety or depression, processing grief, or addressing long-standing patterns shaped by difficult experiences, therapy is tailored to your goals, your pace, and your unique needs.
Why Extended Sessions?
Many traditional therapy appointments last less than an hour, which can sometimes leave clients feeling rushed or emotionally activated at the end of the session, especially when working through trauma.
That's why I exclusively offer 90-minute extended therapy sessions.
Extended sessions provide additional time to move beyond surface-level conversations, process difficult experiences more deeply, and create meaningful momentum in your healing journey.
You deserve more than squeezing into a limited timeframe, when your story is layered, complex, nuanced and uniquely your own.
Looking For A More Accelerated Approach?
For clients seeking a focused and immersive trauma treatment experience, I also offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) Intensives.
These structured intensive programs provide an opportunity to engage in evidence-based trauma treatment over a condensed period of time that aligns with your capacity, goals, and preferred pace. CPT Intensives help clients experience meaningful progress without the need to stretch treatment out over several months or longer in the traditional weekly session format.
Your Story Deserves Time, Space, and Support.
You don't have to carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, grief, or chronic stress on your own.
Whether you're ready to begin weekly therapy or interested in a CPT Intensive, I'm here to help you determine the approach that best fits your goals and needs.
