Anxiety

Anxiety can show up in many forms: chronic worry, overthinking, perfectionism, or a persistent sense of overwhelm. For highly sensitive people, this experience can feel amplified, as heightened awareness of both internal and external stimuli makes it harder to slow down or feel grounded. We will explore the underlying patterns and root causes of anxiety while developing practical tools to regulate the nervous system and build a greater sense of stability. Drawing from mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches, we will work to increase awareness of thoughts and emotional responses, soften self-critical patterns, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself. The goal is not necessarily to eliminate anxiety, but to lessen it by changing your relationship to it, so you can engage more fully with your life and the people in it

Depression

Depression can involve persistent low mood, loss of motivation, disconnection, or a sense of emotional heaviness. This may also include navigating bipolar disorder, where shifts in mood, energy, and focus can feel confusing or difficult to manage. Our work centers on understanding these patterns with care and without judgment, while building tools to support emotional regulation, stability, and daily functioning. Using mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches, I will support you in reconnecting with yourself, processing underlying experiences, and gradually re-engaging with life in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable. The pace remains grounded, compassionate, and attuned to where you are.

Life Transitions

Periods of transition, whether related to relationships, career, identity, or major life changes, can bring both uncertainty and possibility. These moments often stir anxiety, self-doubt, or disorientation, while also opening space for growth. My approach emphasizes mindfulness and self-compassion as a foundation for reconnecting with your values and sense of direction. With attention to both internal experience and relational dynamics, our process will support you in navigating change with clarity, honesty, and intention, balancing encouragement with gentleness along the way.

Artists

I support artists and creative individuals in working through the unique challenges of a creative life, including burnout, self-doubt, anxiety, and the pressures of balancing personal fulfillment with professional demands. In our work, you can expect a space that understands the particular texture of a creative interior life, one that holds both the vulnerability of making and the ambition behind it. Drawing from mindfulness and psychodynamic theory, we will build emotional resilience, deepen self-awareness, and move through creative blocks toward more authentic and sustainable expression.

Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Parenting

The perinatal journey, from fertility and pregnancy through the postpartum period and into raising children, can be both meaningful and overwhelming. Central to this experience is matrescence, the profound identity transformation that unfolds as someone steps into the role of parent. Like adolescence, it is a process rather than a moment, one that deserves its own care and recognition. These stages often bring complex emotions, anxiety, and changes within relationships. I offer support that focuses on navigating the emotional and physical adjustments of this period, including mood fluctuations and the demands of early caregiving. Using a psychodynamic and mindfulness-based approach, I will help you process these experiences, regulate emotions, and strengthen communication, with the goal of supporting both parent and child.

Couples

Relationships naturally shift over time, and partners can find themselves stuck in patterns of miscommunication, distance, or unresolved hurt, often intensified by stress and anxiety. I help couples slow down these cycles, understand the emotions beneath them, and build more intentional ways of connecting. Using a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based approach, I support partners in improving communication, strengthening emotional and physical intimacy, and navigating major transitions. My work is LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcomes couples of all identities and relationship structures.

Complex Trauma

I work with individuals who have experienced complex trauma, including the lasting effects of difficult family dynamics, relational wounds, or ongoing stress. Trauma can disrupt a sense of safety, identity, and connection, often contributing to chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional overwhelm. Drawing from mindfulness practices and psychodynamic principles, we will gently process these experiences while building resilience and self-compassion. I focus on creating a steady, supportive space for healing, balancing gentleness with direction so that new pathways of meaning, strength, and connection can emerge.
