Moving Toward What Matters Most
Trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, and relationship struggles. Affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients, women, and young adults.
You’re tired of living in survival mode
You might look like you're holding it all together, but inside, you're exhausted.
Your mind is constantly running. You replay conversations, second-guess your decisions, and worry about things long after other people have moved on.
Even when life seems "fine" on the outside, you might feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, disconnected from yourself, or stuck waiting for the next thing to go wrong.
Maybe you find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking, rumination, or intrusive thoughts that make it difficult to relax, trust yourself, or be fully present.
You may spend so much energy trying to avoid mistakes, disappointing others, or keeping the peace that you've lost touch with your own needs along the way.
If any of this feels familiar, you're not alone and it doesn't have to stay this way.

Understanding the Roots of Anxiety and Self-Doubt
If you've tried to think your way out of anxiety, push through it, or tell yourself to "just stop worrying," you already know it isn't that simple.
Many of the patterns that bring people to therapy—overthinking, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or relationship struggles—develop for a reason. They often begin as ways of staying safe, connected, or accepted in relationships and environments that felt unpredictable, overwhelming, or emotionally demanding.
Sometimes these experiences are obvious. Other times, they can be more subtle: growing up feeling responsible for other people's emotions, learning that your needs came second, or receiving the message that who you are wasn't fully accepted.
Over time, these experiences can shape how you relate to yourself and others, contributing to anxiety, relationship challenges, and a persistent feeling of being stuck in survival mode.
Understanding the roots of these patterns isn't about blaming the past. It's about creating the opportunity for something different moving forward.
Healing is Possible
The patterns that helped you survive don't have to define your future.
With support, it is possible to quiet the constant self-doubt, feel less consumed by anxiety, and stop carrying responsibility for everyone else's emotions. Therapy can help you reconnect with your own needs, build confidence in your decisions, and develop relationships that feel more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling.
Healing doesn't mean never feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain again. It means having the tools, self-awareness, and trust in yourself to navigate life's challenges without losing yourself in the process.
Over time, many clients find that they feel more grounded, more connected to themselves, and more able to move through life in ways that align with their values rather than their fears.

How I Help
Therapy isn't about becoming a different person. It's about reconnecting with yourself, building trust in your own voice, and creating a life that feels more aligned with your values.
Using EMDR, CPT, CBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused therapy, I help clients understand the roots of their struggles, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change.
As an EMDR-trained trauma therapist, I help adults heal from anxiety, trauma, and the relationship patterns that can develop when we're stuck in survival mode.
A Space Where You Can Show Up Fully
Many of my clients identify as LGBTQIA+, queer, trans, or nonbinary. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I'm passionate about creating a therapy space where all parts of your identity are welcomed, respected, and understood.
In a time when many LGBTQIA+ individuals are facing increased stress, uncertainty, and barriers to feeling fully seen and safe, having affirming support can make a meaningful difference.
I also welcome clients in ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous, and other relationship structures that may not fit traditional expectations. You deserve care that honors your relationships without judgment, assumptions, or pressure to fit a particular mold.
Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you can show up authentically and focus on your growth—not on explaining or justifying who you are.
You Don’t Have To Keep Navigating This On Your Own
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, overthinking, relationship challenges, or the effects of past experiences, therapy can help you move beyond survival mode and toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with what matters most.
If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free consultation.
