You’re doing your best to hold it together…but it’s not sustainable anymore.
Some days, you just feel far away from yourself. Even when you feel like you haven’t been doing much, you’re exhausted. Or it’s the opposite—you’re pushing yourself well past your limits because it’s better than being alone with your thoughts when things finally slow down. Maybe you’re snapping at the people you care about, tuning out in the middle of conversations, letting texts pile up, or avoiding your own reflection.
And even though some things are obvious or noticeable, anxiety and depression can also show up in ways that are hard to explain, like:
Losing interest in what once brought you joy
Racing thoughts that keep looping with no resolution
A relentless, harsh, and critical inner voice
Physical exhaustion, tension, or anxiety that lives in your body
Trouble sleeping, panic attacks, or dread that hits without warning
Avoiding closeness or feeling unsure how to ask for what you need
Underneath it all, there’s still a hope for something different—to be truly understood, to stop performing all the time, and to feel even a little more like yourself again… or at least, to not feel this heavy all the time.
While they have their differences, anxiety and depression often overlap.
Both can find a way of making you feel stuck in your head or disconnected from yourself—like everything is too much and not enough at the same time. There can be restlessness, irritability, numbness, or exhaustion without even knowing why. And all of those feelings make it easy to believe the thoughts that come with that:
I’m a burden. I’ll never feel better. Something’s wrong with me.
But thoughts aren’t facts. They’re patterns—often shaped by pain, fear, or early experiences—and they can shift over time with the right support.
My Approach
Depression and anxiety don’t always show up as tears or panic.
Sometimes they look like withdrawal, numbness, irritation, sadness, exhaustion, or waking up already overwhelmed. Maybe you overthink everything…or feel too much and nothing all at once. I meet you in those moments as a steady, validating presence—not with pressure to “get better,” but with curiosity about what those feelings are protecting, and how long you’ve been carrying them.
“Fixing” or perfection isn’t what we do here.
That’s not realistic! We’re human. None of us lives inside neatly organized categories. Grief, identity, relationships, trauma, shame—they are all connected, and everything and anything you bring is welcome in the room (and will most likely come up as we peel back the layers of your own anxiety or depression).
Many clients come to this work worrying that they’ll have to explain exactly “why” they’re feeling a certain way, or they’ll almost apologize for bringing themselves to therapy in the first place. Please know: you are welcome and embraced here exactly as you are and exactly how you’re feeling without explanation or apology.
In fact, when you show up as yourself, it allows us to pay attention to what’s really hurting, what may be repeating, and what’s actually going on beneath the surface. This trust we create together fosters a powerful relationship, one that can be a catalyst for change within yourself and your life. Together we’ll explore the way the past and present speak to each other—and how you might begin to feel more like yourself again (or a version of yourself you’ve always wanted to get to).
Walk away from this work knowing:
All your feelings are valid
There are people who hear you, see you, and support you
It’s possible to have meaningful, fulfilling relationships
Being human means struggling sometimes, and that’s okay
Each day is a new opportunity
Life can feel so much better than this
Feelings can come and go—they don’t have to control you
Trusting and being kinder to yourself takes practice
You’re not “too much” or “too needy”
You don’t have to wait until you feel better to start living.
Questions?
-
Not at all. You don’t have to come in any sort of label or even a clear explanation of what you’re experiencing. Whether you’re feeling sad, stuck, or just not yourself lately, that’s enough to seek out support. We’ll figure it out together.
-
That makes sense. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different therapists have different styles, and sometimes the fit—or the timing—just isn’t quite right. My approach is relational, nonjudgmental, and welcoming—this space is built to meet the real you, not a version you think you’re supposed to be.
-
You can talk about that here. You don’t have to protect me from the heavy parts of your experience. Our work together is a space where even the hardest things belong. I have extensive experience working with people navigating suicidal thoughts and intense emotional distress. Nothing you share will scare me away or change the way I see you. We can speak about these thoughts openly and carefully—without panic or judgment—so we can understand what’s underneath them and find ways to help you feel safer and more supported.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a strong foundation in psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed care. I’ve worked with teens and adults navigating everything from daily overwhelm and chronic self-doubt to dissociation, panic, and suicidal ideation. My approach blends depth and practicality—I bring tools from CBT, DBT, and systemic therapy when helpful, but always center the relationship as the foundation for real, lasting change.
