Trauma

Trauma is any type of life-threatening experience that shakes your ability to feel safe in this world. Whether your trauma stems from a single event or a prolonged experience, and no matter at what age it occurred, its effects can linger long after: in relationships, in your nervous system, in how you move through the world. In our work together, we’ll create a safe space to gently explore your experiences, help your system feel more grounded, and support healing at a pace that feels right for you.

Anxiety

Anxiety often shows up as ruminations, overthinking, restlessness, or a persistent sense that something isn’t quite right — even when everything seems “fine” on the outside. It can be exhausting and isolating. Together, we’ll get curious about what your anxiety might be trying to protect you from, what emotions may be hiding underneath the anxiety, and find ways to bring more calm, clarity, and inner ease to your daily life.

Depression

Depression can feel like a heavy fog, making even simple daily tasks feel impossible. It’s not about weakness or failure — it’s often a signal from deep within that something needs attention and care. Through therapy, we’ll explore the roots of your sadness or numbness and begin to reconnect you with meaning, energy, and a sense of possibility.

Abuse

Living through any kind of abuse — emotional, physical, sexual, or psychological — can leave lasting wounds. You may carry shame, confusion, or self-doubt that isn't yours to hold. In our work, we’ll center your safety and agency, giving space to your pain and helping you reclaim your voice, boundaries, and sense of self.

Relationship Challenges

Relationships can bring out our deepest vulnerabilities. Whether you’re navigating conflict, are feeling stuck in old patterns, or feeling the ache of disconnection, therapy can help you explore your relational dynamics with insight and compassion. Together we’ll look at the roots of your relationship patterns and support you in creating healthier, more fulfilling connections — with others and with yourself.

Navigating Narcissistic Relationships

Being in a relationship with someone who consistently invalidates your feelings, manipulates situations, shifts blame, or distorts your reality can leave you feeling confused, drained, and unsure of yourself. Whether you're still in the relationship or recovering from its impact, therapy offers a space to reconnect with your truth, rebuild self-trust, and begin healing from the emotional toll of narcissistic dynamics. Together, we can help you find clarity, reclaim your voice, and move forward with strength and self-respect.

Divorce and Separation

The end of a relationship can stir up grief, guilt, relief, and everything in between. It’s a threshold — one that’s often full of pain, but also potential. Whether you’re in the midst of separating or still finding your way forward afterward, therapy can help you process the emotional terrain, redefine your identity, and begin again with more clarity and self-trust.

Major Life Decisions

When facing a major choice, we often meet layers of fear, past conditioning, and the voices of others — all clouding our inner clarity. Together, we’ll explore what truly matters to you beneath the noise, uncover inner conflicts, and help you move forward with a sense of grounded alignment and self-trust.

Psychedelic Integration

Psychedelic experiences can reveal what’s hidden — beauty, pain, memory, insight — but integration is where the real work begins. I offer a space to process what’s surfaced, make meaning of it, and stay rooted as you navigate the emotional, spiritual, and psychological illuminations. The therapy work done after a psychedelic journey can help you develop new perspectives, break free of old patterns, and move through the world from a clearer place.

Grief

Grief can show up in unexpected ways and doesn’t follow a neat timeline. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a part of your identity, your pain deserves a safe space to be processed. Together, we’ll honor what’s been lost, explore how it lives in your body and heart, and gently support your path toward healing and wholeness — however that may look for you.

Difficult Medical Diagnoses

Receiving a life-changing diagnosis can shake everything — your plans, your sense of safety, your identity. It can bring up fear, anger, grief, and a deep need to make sense of what’s happening. Therapy offers a place to process these emotions, navigate the unknown, and stay connected to yourself through a difficult season.

Life Transitions

Change — even when chosen — can feel destabilizing. You may find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. Whether you’re starting over, becoming a parent, changing careers, or stepping into a new phase of life, therapy can offer grounding and guidance as you reorient yourself and build what’s next with intention. If you are craving change but unsure of how to cultivate it in your life, we can work together to help you write this next chapter.

Life as a Foreigner

Building a life in a new country comes with beauty — and often, invisible challenges. You might feel untethered, lonely, or unsure of how to belong. Therapy can help you hold the complexity of starting over in a new culture while exploring how you’d like to stay connected to your roots, find your voice, embrace the change, and connect with new people and places around you, in ways that improve your emotional well-being.

Burnout

Burnout isn’t just stress — it’s the body and mind saying enough. It can leave you feeling numb, irritable, depleted, or disconnected from your work and yourself, and it can take a long time to fully recover from. Whether it’s professional, parental, or emotional burnout, therapy can help you reconnect to your needs, restore your energy, and rediscover what makes you feel a sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in life again.

Reevaluating Your Relationship with Alcohol & Other Substances

Your relationship with alcohol or other substances doesn’t have to fit anyone else's definitions. You might be questioning your habits, noticing the impact on your emotional life, or wondering what role you want these substances to play moving forward. Therapy offers a nonjudgmental space to explore these questions with honesty and compassion — not from a place of shame, but from a desire to feel more connected to yourself and your choices.

Self-Esteem & Identity

A shaky sense of self can impact everything — relationships, decisions, boundaries. You may feel like you're always shape-shifting to fit others' expectations, or unsure of who you are underneath it all. Therapy can help you strengthen your core self, cultivate self-acceptance, and develop a more stable, compassionate relationship with your identity.

Perfectionism

Perfectionism often looks like high achievement on the outside, but inside it can feel like never being enough. You may constantly push yourself, fear failure, or equate your worth with productivity. Together, we’ll explore the roots of these patterns, gently challenge inner criticism, implement tools that increase self-compassion, and build a life grounded in value — not just performance.

People-Pleasing & Boundary Setting

When your focus is always on keeping others comfortable, your own needs can get buried. You might feel guilty saying no, overextend yourself, or struggle to voice your preferences. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with your voice, understand where these patterns come from, and learn to set boundaries with clarity and care.

Attachment Wounds

Early relationships shape how we love, trust, and connect. If you find yourself stuck in painful relationship patterns, therapy can help you explore the roots of your attachment style, understand how past experiences live in the present, and gently shift toward more secure and fulfilling connections.

Inner Child Work

So much of our present pain echoes unmet needs from the past. Inner child work invites us to reconnect with the younger parts of ourselves — not to dwell, but to understand, comfort, and integrate them. It’s a deeply healing way to address longstanding emotional patterns and cultivate greater self-compassion.

Shame & Guilt

Guilt can weigh heavily, even when you’ve done nothing wrong. Shame whispers that you’re not enough, and it thrives in the dark. These emotions are often in the underbelly of anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. In therapy, we’ll create space to explore where these feelings come from, gently loosen their grip, and build a more forgiving relationship with yourself.

Identity Exploration

Questions of gender, sexuality, culture, or life role can be tender and complex. Whether you’re in the midst of discovery or redefinition, therapy offers a space free of judgment where you can explore who you are, what matters to you, and how to live with greater alignment and authenticity.

Codependency

Codependency can develop for a number of different reasons, and can take time to become aware of. It often means that you are prioritizing others’ needs at the cost of your own. You may feel responsible for others’ feelings, fear being alone, or struggle with self-worth outside of caregiving. In our work together, we can identify where and how this is showing up for you, and untangle these patterns, rebuilding boundaries, and reclaiming a sense of self.

Fear of Intimacy / Avoidance

Closeness can feel unsafe when past relationships have hurt you, or if you weren’t raised in a family where closeness was the norm. You might pull away when things get too emotional, or feel overwhelmed by the idea of being truly seen. Therapy helps you explore these protective strategies and gently move toward more open, connected ways of relating to others and to yourself.

Career Exploration & Purpose

Work is more than a paycheck — it’s tied to meaning, identity, and belonging, and we spend a majority of our time engaged with it. If you feel lost, stuck, or disconnected from your work, together we can help you explore what you want, what’s getting in the way, and how to find or build something more aligned to your values.

Existential Anxiety / Meaning-Making

Sometimes, the biggest questions — about purpose, mortality, freedom — can weigh heavily. Therapy offers a space to explore these questions with curiosity and compassion, helping you take action in your life and create meaning in a way that feels grounded, personal, and alive.

Third Culture Kid (TCK) Experience

Growing up between cultures can leave you feeling like you belong everywhere and nowhere. Therapy can help you explore identity, grief, and connection as someone shaped by multiple worlds — and support you in integrating your experiences into a cohesive, grounded sense of self.
