Anxiety in high-functioning people often hides inside competence. You get everything done, and pay for it at 2am. We look at what the worry is protecting you from, loosen the grip of perfectionism, and give your nervous system a way to come down that does not depend on everything being finished. Often includes: generalized anxiety, panic, overthinking, work stress, perfectionism and sleep.

Depression rarely looks like sadness from the outside. More often it is flatness, a shorter fuse, or finding that the things you used to enjoy now feel like chores. We work on what keeps the low mood in place, whether that is a harsh inner critic, isolation or years of putting yourself last, and build small, steady ways back to feeling like yourself. Often includes: depression, low motivation, self-esteem, emotional regulation and shame.

Some things do not fade on their own schedule. Whether it is a single event, something that happened over years in childhood, or a loss that still catches you off guard, we go at your pace. Safety and stability come first, and nothing gets opened up before you have the tools to hold it. Often includes: PTSD, childhood trauma, grief and loss, and betrayal.

For couples, we slow the argument down enough to see the pattern underneath it, then practice different ways of approaching the underlying issues. For individuals, we look at the attachment habits and boundaries you bring into every relationship, including the ones at work and with family. Often includes: couples counseling, communication, boundaries, attachment patterns and family conflict.

A new role, a divorce, an empty house, a retirement. Even changes you chose can leave you unsure who you are on the other side. This is space to grieve what is ending, get clear on what you actually want, and make the next decision on purpose. Often includes: life transitions, career decisions, parenting, retirement and questions of purpose.

No labels required and no ultimatums. Whether you want to cut back, stop, or understand why a habit has become harder to put down, we work from where you are, using motivational interviewing and practical relapse-prevention planning at a pace that suits you. Often includes: cutting back, recovery support, relapse prevention and habits that no longer serve you.

Experiencing discrimination, whether based on race, sexuality, gender, disability, or identity is a quiet, ongoing drain on your energy. It forces your system into constant vigilance, checking environments for safety while carrying the weight of systemic microaggressions and marginalization. We create a grounded space to process the pain, anger, and fatigue of navigating biased systems, helping you unburden what isn't yours to carry, reconnect with your intrinsic worth, and rebuild internal safety on your own terms. It often includes systemic oppression, microaggressions, racial trauma, LGBTQ+ identity stress, code-switching fatigue, and minority stress.
