What We Can Work On Together

Every person's journey is different. These are some of the areas where I can help — but we'll always start with what matters most to you.

Anxiety & Depression

When your brain won't quiet down, we find the volume knob together. We'll work on understanding your anxiety patterns, building coping tools, and creating space for calm.

Life Transitions

New job, new city, new chapter — change is hard. Let's make it easier. Whether you're navigating a career shift, a move, a breakup, or a big life decision, I'm here.

Sex Therapy & Relationships

With others, or with yourself. Both matter here. We'll explore communication patterns, boundaries, attachment styles, and what you actually need from the people in your life.

Identity & Self-Worth

You are more than your worst days. Let's remind you of that. We'll work on building a relationship with yourself that's grounded, compassionate, and real.

Maternal Mental Health

Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood bring profound change. Whether you're navigating perinatal mood shifts, birth trauma, or the identity shift of becoming a parent, you deserve support.

Neurodivergence

ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence are part of who you are — not problems to fix. We'll work on strategies, self-understanding, and building a life that actually fits your brain.

Grief

Loss takes many forms — a person, a relationship, a version of yourself. There's no right way to grieve, and no timeline. I'm here to sit with you in it and help you find your way through.

ADHD & Autism Diagnostic Exams

Wondering if ADHD or autism might explain some of your experiences? I offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations in a supportive, affirming environment — so you can get clarity and move forward.
