Full list

Specialties & areas of focus

A complete view of the issues this practice works with. Most clients come with a mix of these. That's normal, and we'll figure out what to prioritize together.

Anxiety

Generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and the constant background hum of worry that makes daily life feel heavier than it should.

Depression

From persistent low mood to seasons of feeling stuck. We work together to interrupt depressive thought patterns and rebuild momentum.

Self-esteem

Building a steadier inner voice. Moving from harsh self-criticism toward self-trust, and developing habits that align with who you want to be.

ADHD

Skills work for focus, organization, and emotional regulation, plus a space to figure out what actually works for your brain.

Anger management

Understanding what's underneath the anger, and learning to respond, not react, when you feel yourself moving toward the boiling point.

Body image

Untangling the relationship between how you see your body and how you feel about yourself, at any age, any size.

Coping skills

Practical, evidence-based tools to handle hard moments. Building a personal toolkit that's portable, repeatable, and actually yours.

Emotional disturbance

For when emotions feel too big, too unpredictable, or too overwhelming. We work to understand the patterns and create steadier ground.

Grief & loss

Loss of a person, a relationship, an identity, or a future you'd imagined. There's no timeline. Only the work of carrying it differently.

Parenting

For parents of teens or younger kids. Working through the questions, doubts, and patterns that don't have an obvious right answer.

Peer relationships

Friendships, classmates, social circles. The harder-than-it-looks work of finding your people and being a good one yourself.

Pregnancy & postpartum

Pregnancy, prenatal anxiety, and the postpartum window. Meeting you where you are with care that holds the whole experience.

Relationship issues

Romantic partners, family of origin, work relationships. Navigating the patterns and communication gaps that keep showing up.

School issues

Academic stress, social pressure, perfectionism, burnout. Support for the parts of school that don't show up on a report card.

Self-harming

A nonjudgmental space to understand what's underneath the urge, build safer ways to cope, and move toward a different relationship with yourself.

Stress

Practical, evidence-based tools to manage what life is throwing at you, and to keep your nervous system out of the red zone.

Suicidal ideation

Compassionate, non-alarmist support for clients experiencing suicidal thoughts, focused on safety, understanding, and a path forward.

If you're in immediate crisis, call 988.

Transgender clients

Affirming care that takes your identity as given, focused on what you actually came in for, with respect for your name, pronouns, and experience.

Women's issues

Identity, motherhood, work-life pressures, relationship dynamics. The specific weight of moving through the world as a woman.

Don't see your specific concern?

That's okay. Reach out. Most of what people bring to therapy doesn't have a tidy label, and we can figure out together whether this is a good fit.
