What Brings People to Therapy
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons, and most of them don't arrive with a neat diagnosis or a clear explanation of what's wrong. Sometimes you just know something isn't working. Below are some of the areas I work with most often. If you see yourself in any of these, that's enough of a reason to reach out.
Areas I Work With
Anxiety looks different for everyone. It might be constant worry you can't shut off, panic that comes out of nowhere, avoiding situations that feel overwhelming, or a persistent sense that something bad is about to happen. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and one of the most treatable. Together we'll work to understand what's driving it and build real tools to manage it.
Depression isn't always dramatic. Sometimes it's just a quiet flatness, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep, or going through the motions without really feeling present. If you've been feeling this way for a while, therapy can help you understand what's underneath it and start to feel like yourself again.
Whether you're navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or a complicated relationship with food and your body, this is some of my most specialized work. I use CBT-E, the gold standard evidence-based treatment for eating disorders, and bring both clinical training and personal understanding to this area. You don't need a formal diagnosis to reach out.
If your emotions feel intense, hard to control, or like they come out of nowhere, you're not "too much." You may just need better tools. I draw from DBT and other evidence-based approaches to help you understand your emotional patterns and respond to difficult feelings in ways that don't make things harder.
Relationships with partners, family, friends, or colleagues are often where our deepest patterns show up. Whether you're navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, a difficult transition, or a pattern you keep repeating, therapy can help you understand what's driving these dynamics and make real changes.
Starting a new job, ending a relationship, moving cities, becoming a parent, losing someone, transitions are some of the most destabilizing experiences we go through, even when they're positive ones. Therapy during a transition isn't a sign that something's wrong. It's one of the smartest investments you can make in yourself.
I work with children ages 7 and up and teens navigating anxiety, big emotions, social difficulties, school stress, and more. If your child seems stuck, withdrawn, or overwhelmed, early support makes a real difference. Parents are always welcome to reach out first with questions.
