When your mind never shuts off, it’s hard to rest, focus, or feel present. Have a hard time separating your worth from what you do for others or how much you achieve? We’ll get curious about the thoughts, expectations, and habits keeping your system in overdrive. You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, set boundaries without guilt, and manage the mental load that comes with high-pressure living.
Anxiety, Stress & Burnout
If you’ve ever found yourself over-giving, walking on eggshells, or losing your sense of self in relationships, you’re not alone. Many people learn to equate love with caretaking, control, or survival, which can lead to patterns of codependency and even toxic or abusive dynamics. In therapy, we’ll unpack where these patterns come from, often rooted in early attachment wounds or environments that taught you to prioritize others’ needs over your own. Together, we’ll work on rebuilding self-trust, strengthening boundaries, and helping you reconnect with your own values and identity so you can create relationships that feel mutual, safe, and grounded in genuine respect.
Codependency, Toxic & Abusive Relationships
Work through past experiences that keep resurfacing, without retraumatization or pressure to “get over it.” Together, we’ll explore how your body and mind have learned to protect you and how those patterns may now be holding you back. Using trauma-informed tools like EMDR, CBT, and body-based regulation techniques, we’ll help your nervous system feel safe again so you can move from survival into genuine healing.
Trauma & PTSD
Whether it’s alcohol, weed, gambling, or emotional eating, recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll unpack the emotional patterns and unmet needs driving your behaviors, building awareness and compassion instead of shame. From there, we’ll develop healthier coping strategies that work for your real life—not just theory. Healing in this space isn’t about perfection, and lapses can happen. Using a harm reduction approach, we will focus on individual progress and building a life that doesn’t need numbing or escaping from.
Addiction & Substance Use
Divorce, breakups, and major life changes impact more than just one person. They ripple through families, routines, and identities. Whether you’re the one initiating change or trying to adjust to it, therapy offers space to process the grief, confusion, and restructuring that naturally follow. We’ll focus on helping you (and, when appropriate, individual family members) navigate shifting roles, communication challenges, and emotional fallout with clarity and compassion. This work centers on stability and self-understanding, so you can create healthier dynamics and move forward with a sense of peace and direction.
Divorce, Breakups & Major Life Changes
For teens and young adults navigating pressure, comparison, or big emotions, therapy offers a safe and nonjudgmental space to figure things out.
We’ll work on emotional regulation, boundaries, communication, and self-awareness tools that help them handle school, relationships, and family dynamics more confidently. This is a space to learn who they are, not who they’re expected to be, and to build a foundation for lifelong resilience.
