Areas of Focus

These are some of the themes I often work with in therapy. Each person’s experience is unique, and our work together will be tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Anxiety, Overwhelm and High-Functioning Pressure

Anxiety often shows up as racing thoughts, overthinking, and the sense that you have to hold everything together. In our work, we slow down enough to understand the emotional and relational patterns underneath the anxiety. Together we’ll build steadiness, self-trust, and a more compassionate internal experience.

Identity, Transitions and Life Reorientation

Whether you’re navigating parenthood, career shifts, relationship changes, or the quiet feeling that you’re not the same person you used to be, therapy offers space to explore who you’re becoming. We make room for grief, clarity, and reconnection to what feels true.

Relationship Patterns and Attachment Dynamics

How you show up with others often reflects old emotional templates. In therapy, we explore the patterns shaping your romantic, familial, and social relationships, and the parts of you trying to protect something tender. Together we’ll deepen emotional understanding and move toward more grounded, authentic connection.

Self-Compassion, Perfectionism and Inner Critic Work

Many clients come in feeling pressured, self-critical, or unsure how to care for themselves without collapsing into guilt. Therapy helps you soften rigid expectations, understand the roots of your inner critic, and cultivate a more compassionate way of moving through the world.

Grief, Loss and Past Emotional Pain

This includes both traditional grief and the quieter losses: identity shifts, relationship ruptures, unmet needs, or dreams that didn’t unfold as expected. We’ll honor your pain, make space for what still feels unfinished, and move toward meaning and integration at your pace.
