Maybe you’re lying in bed replaying everything you said that day, wondering if you said the wrong thing. You know logically that someone probably isn’t upset with you, but your body and brain keep looking for evidence that they are.

Maybe you’re facing a decision and keep researching, asking others, or looping over it numerous times because you’re afraid there’s going to be something you haven’t considered. Maybe you feel like if you just think about it long enough, you’ll eventually find the answer that makes you feel safe. Or you feel guilty watching TV, reading, resting, or slowing down when there’s always one more thing still to be done.

Maybe you’ve tried to make the anxiety go away through exercise, productivity, distraction, or reassurance, but it just keeps coming back.

Maybe you even can understand your anxiety intellectually. You can explain exactly why you’re doing it. You just can’t shut it off.

Therapy can help you build insight towards your thought patterns and loosen their grip, so you can spend less time analyzing, checking, avoiding, and second-guessing, and more time truly living.

Treatment for OCD may include more targeted, exposure-based work to help you respond differently to intrusive thoughts and gradually become more comfortable with uncertainty rather than needing to resolve every uncomfortable feeling or thought.

The goal of treatment isn’t to get rid of every anxious thought. It’s to build enough trust in yourself to keep moving forward, even when there are still some loose ends left unanswered.

Maybe you find yourself thinking about a conversation long after it’s over, wondering if you were too much, not enough, or somehow said the wrong thing. Maybe you can tell when someone’s mood shifts before they say anything, and suddenly you’re trying to figure out what happened, what you did, and how to make it better.

Maybe you’re so attuned to other people’s needs that you lose track of your own. You say yes when you want to say no, keep the peace when something is bothering you, or feel guilty for needing more than someone else seems able to give. Or maybe you’ve gotten so used to guarding yourself that letting someone really know you feels just as uncomfortable.

You may understand your attachment style or relationship patterns but still find yourself in the same loops: overextending, pulling away, becoming anxious at the first sign of distance, or remaining in relationships that leave you feeling small or unseen.

Therapy can be a place to slow these patterns down and understand what’s happening underneath them. Together, we’ll explore attachment, boundaries, communication, and the ways you’ve learned to navigate vulnerability, so you can have relationships that feel more mutual, honest, and authentic.

Therapy for these concerns is not about becoming perfectly independent or never needing anyone. It’s about feeling more secure in yourself while staying genuinely connected to the people you love.

It can be a lonely, unstable place to land when you realize that your relationship with faith has become more complicated than the spaces around you know how to hold.

Maybe you are unpacking harmful or painful experiences with religion, questioning beliefs that once felt rock solid, or trying to understand how your religious background has shaped your identity, relationships, and current sense of self.

Therapy can be a space to explore these questions without pressure to leave, return to, or arrive at any particular belief. Whether you’re somewhere in the middle, rebuilding your relationship with faith, or moving away from it entirely, your doubt, anger, grief, hope, or complexity is welcome.

We can also make room for bigger questions of being human: meaning, identity, purpose, mortality, uncertainty, belonging, and what a life looks like that is authentically your own. These questions may emerge through changes in faith, or they may have nothing to do with religion at all.

While my background in this area is primarily rooted in Christianity, I welcome people navigating complicated relationships with other faith traditions, as well as those exploring spirituality or existential questions outside of a religious framework.

You’ve accomplished things, you’re capable, and from the outside, you probably seem like you have it together. But underneath that, you may be wondering why it never quite feels like enough.

Is your inner landscape characterized by a constant self-monitoring critic, measuring your every move against a more successful, attractive, productive, confident, put-together version you think you should be?

Maybe you do know exactly what you’re “supposed” to want, but have a harder time hearing your own voice underneath all the heavy expectations.

Over time, it can be difficult to separate your sense of worth from what you accomplish, how others see you, or how well you’re holding everything together. Therapy can help you untangle those expectations, understand where your inner critic originally came from, and develop a more grounded sense of who you really are, not who you think you’re supposed to be.

My role is not to make you let go of your standards, but rather, to help you feel more alive, balanced, and compassionate towards the parts of you still unfinished and imperfect.

What do you do when food takes up all of your brain space? When what you ate, what you’re planning to eat, how much you exercised, or how your body looks starts occupying more of your thoughts than you want it to?

If you have found yourself tangled in rules around food, checking and comparing your body, feeling guilty for eating or resting, or swinging between losing control and strained efforts grasping for it back, finding safety and confidence within your physical body can feel so out of reach.

Through depth-oriented eating disorder therapy, we can take a curious look together at these cycles and begin to understand what’s underneath them. We will explore the emotions, beliefs, and experiences that have become tangled up with food, movement, body image, control, and self-worth, while working toward a relationship with food and your body that feels less rigid, consuming, and shame-filled.

I take a nonjudgmental, weight-neutral, Health at Every Size approach, focusing less on adding in more rules and more on understanding the deeper patterns underneath them.

Sometimes trauma has a clear beginning: one experience that changed everything. Sometimes, it is more than just one moment. Maybe a series of experiences, relationships, losses, or messages you internalized growing up left you feeling like something about you or your world wasn’t quite okay, but— what was “normal,” and what wasn’t?

After trauma, it is common to carry these past wounds internally. This can often look like feeling easily overwhelmed or angry, numbness or disconnection from yourself or the world around you, being constantly on alert to other people’s moods, feeling unsafe or unsettled in relationships, struggling to know what you feel or need, reacting more strongly than you expect, or carrying a sense that something is wrong without knowing exactly why.

Narrative-focused trauma therapy looks at the stories you’ve come to carry about yourself because of what happened to you, while making space to consider whether those stories still fit who you are. Rather than rushing to “move past” an experience, we can slow down and explore what it has meant to you, how it continues to show up in your mind and body, and what you want your story to hold going forward.

We’ll move at a pace that feels grounded and respectful of your nervous system, making room for grief, emotional overwhelm, and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

You used to create things because you couldn’t not create them. You chose your work because you cared deeply about it, wanted to help people, or felt some calling to it. What if the things that used to make you feel alive now feel like work?

Maybe you’ve been running on empty for so long that you’ve forgotten what “rested” even feels like. You’re accomplishing all your responsibilities, but there’s less curiosity, play, inspiration, or excitement underneath it all. You may find yourself going through the motions, wondering where your creativity went, feeling an essential part of yourself slipping away.

For creatives, helping professionals, and other deeply invested or high-achieving people, it can be difficult to know when dedication has turned into depletion. Through therapy, you can find a can be a place to slow down, understand what’s been draining you, and reconnect with the parts of your life that feel meaningful rather than simply productive.

Together, we can explore the pressure to constantly create, achieve, give, or hold everything together, while making room for rest, authenticity, creativity, and a sense of aliveness again.
