The Big Picture

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, breathe, and finally tell the truth—to yourself, first and foremost. You don’t have to perform or impress here. You just have to be human (which, frankly, is hard enough). Together, we’ll get curious about what’s weighing you down, what’s lighting you up, and what needs to shift so you can move through your life with more clarity, intention, and self-respect.

Specialties

  • If your brain regularly rotates between ā€œnothing mattersā€ and ā€œeverything is on fire,ā€ welcome—you’re not alone. Depression can make life feel muted; anxiety can make it feel too loud. In therapy, we’ll learn how to meet both with honesty, compassion, and actual tools that help you feel less at war with your own mind. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through this.

  • Sometimes life gets weird. You wake up one day and wonder who you are, why you’re here, or what any of this is supposed to mean. (Congrats—you’re officially human.) I work well with clients who are wrestling with purpose, identity, and the big-picture questions that don’t fit neatly into self-help checklists. We’ll navigate the unknown together without rushing to easy answers.

  • Leaving a faith tradition—or being hurt by one—can feel like pulling a thread and watching your entire sense of self unravel. Religious trauma therapy gives you room to examine what you were taught, honor what you lost, and rebuild with grace and compassion in mind, instead of harsh judgment and fear. You get to keep what resonates, reject what harmed you, and create a life that feels grounded in beauty and joy, instead of anxiety and despair.

  • Breakups, moves, new careers, identity shifts… all of it can knock the wind out of you. Isn’t the core tragedy of the human condition that change is the only constant and it’s the thing we hate the most? Even ā€œgood changesā€ can feel like emotional whiplash. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s ending, what’s beginning, and how to navigate the in-between without losing yourself. Your next chapter doesn’t have to feel like a free fall.

  • If your default setting is ā€œsure, no problem!ā€ even when you’re actively falling apart, you’re in good company. People pleasing isn’t a flaw—it’s an old survival strategy that’s overstayed its welcome. This is an addition problem, not subtraction. We’re not gonna turn you into a jerk, we’re just gonna help you add a few new tools to your utility belt. Therapy will help you set boundaries that don’t make you feel like a villain, tell the truth about your needs, and stop auditioning for everyone else’s approval.Item description

  • Growing up in a family where emotional needs were ignored, minimized, or mocked leaves a mark. You learn to stay small, stay quiet, or stay hyper-capable. Maybe you even wind up being the parent to your parents. In therapy, we untangle those inherited patterns and teach you how to parent yourself in ways you never received—so you can build relationships based on choice, not obligation or fear.

  • Whether you’re a writer, musician, filmmaker, painter, or just a person with a creative pulse, stuckness can feel like losing a limb. Your ideas evaporate, your motivation tanks, and suddenly you’re cleaning the grout instead of making anything. We’ll explore the emotional roots of your block, reconnect you to what inspires you, and carve out space for you to create without perfection strangling the process.
