Our Focus Areas
What we treat, explore, and hold space for in our work together.
Anxiety
Support for navigating overwhelm, overthinking, and the pressure to hold it all together
Anxiety can show up in a hundred small ways: the racing thoughts at night, the tension in your jaw, the urge to control everything to feel safe. In therapy, we work together to understand what your anxiety is trying to protect and how to soften its grip without shame or judgment.
Sessions create space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and build new tools for calming your nervous system. Whether your anxiety feels constant or situational, our goal is to help you move through life with more steadiness, choice, and self-trust.
Bipolar Disorder
Support for navigating mood shifts, energy cycles, and identity stability
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like being caught between extremes. High-energy periods may bring bursts of creativity, confidence, or restlessness. Low periods can drain your motivation and leave you feeling lost or ashamed. Therapy offers a steady space to understand these cycles without judgment.
We work together to track patterns, deepen insight, and build practices that support emotional regulation and self-awareness. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been managing bipolar symptoms for years, our work focuses on helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole. Additionally, we are more than happy to connect and collaborate with other care professionals, like psychiatrists, to maintain continuity of care.
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)
Support for long-term healing after repeated or chronic trauma
C-PTSD often stems from experiences that were prolonged, relational, or began early in life. This might include childhood neglect, emotional abuse, or any environment where your needs were not met consistently or safely. The effects can be harder to name but may include persistent shame, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from your sense of self.
In therapy, we work gently and consistently to rebuild internal safety and strengthen your sense of identity. Healing is not about forgetting what happened. It’s about making room for who you are beyond survival. With time, care, and connection, it’s possible to feel more whole, more present, and more at home in yourself.
Depression
Support for moving through heaviness, numbness, and the loss of motivation
Depression can make everything feel harder: getting out of bed, reaching out to people you love, remembering what used to bring joy. It can be quiet or consuming. Therapy helps you name what hurts and begin to reconnect with yourself gently.
Together, we explore the emotional roots of your pain, the systems that shape your sense of worth, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. This is not about pushing through. It is about allowing space for your experience and finding pathways toward meaning and vitality.
Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
Support for untangling your relationship with food, body image, and control
Eating struggles are rarely just about food. They often reflect deeper attempts to cope with pain, uncertainty, or the need to feel in control. Whether you restrict, binge, purge, or find yourself constantly thinking about what you eat, therapy offers a place to slow down and explore what’s underneath.
We approach these concerns with care, not correction. Our work centers on restoring trust in your body, challenging perfectionism, and creating space for compassion — especially in the moments that feel messy or stuck. Healing is not often linear, but it is possible.
Exercise Addiction
Support for when movement shifts from care to compulsion
Exercise addiction is a type of process addiction — a compulsive pattern tied not to a substance, but to a behavior that feels hard to stop. You might find yourself pushing through pain, skipping social plans, or feeling anxious if you miss a workout. What begins as a form of care can gradually become a coping strategy that takes more than it gives.
Therapy offers space to explore what drives the intensity. We look at how control, self-worth, or emotion regulation may be tied to your routines, and what it might mean to build a relationship with movement that supports your body rather than controls it.
Perinatal Anxiety
Support for racing thoughts, constant worry, and the fear of getting it wrong
Perinatal anxiety can show up before or after birth. It might look like sleepless nights, spiraling thoughts, irritability, or a constant sense that something could go wrong. You may find yourself scanning for danger, avoiding certain situations, or feeling like you have to control every variable just to stay afloat.
Therapy offers space to understand what your anxiety is trying to protect and how it’s been shaped by this major life transition. We focus on strategies to manage the intensity, respond to uncertainty, and challenge the internal rules that keep you stuck in fear. You do not have to figure this out alone. With support, it becomes possible to feel more capable, more grounded, and more connected to yourself (and your baby) in the process. And remember: Experiencing perinatal anxiety does not mean you’re failing—it means you’re human. This is a real experience, and there is support to help you feel more grounded.
Perinatal Depression
Support for the emotional weight that can show up before or after birth
Perinatal depression includes both prenatal and postpartum experiences. It can feel like sadness, numbness, irritability, or a deep sense of disconnect from your body, your baby, or even yourself. These feelings are common but often go unspoken. And, common does not mean it has to be “normal” for you. You might be showing up for others while quietly feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of your place in this new chapter.
Therapy offers a space to speak honestly about your feelings without pressure to explain or justify them. It is a space to make sense of what is shifting in your inner world, to grieve what you expected, and to begin rebuilding trust in yourself as you move through this season. Lastly, please remember: Experiencing perinatal depression says nothing about the kind of mother you are. It is a real and valid experience, and healing is possible.
Perinatal Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Support for intrusive thoughts and fears that feel overwhelming or out of character
Perinatal OCD can emerge during pregnancy or after birth. It often involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts that feel intense, repetitive, or out of sync with how you see yourself. In response, you may develop certain routines, avoidance patterns, or mental habits to feel safer or more in control. These experiences can be frightening and exhausting, especially when they interfere with your ability to rest or care for yourself.
Therapy offers both understanding and practical tools. We work to reduce the grip of intrusive thoughts and help you respond to anxiety in ways that support your well-being. Intrusive thoughts can feel terrifying, but they don’t define you. Postpartum OCD is a treatable condition, and you don’t have to face it alone. If this sounds familiar, we are here when you are ready.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Support for healing after a single traumatic event or acute threat
PTSD can develop after a specific event that overwhelmed your ability to cope. You might find yourself avoiding reminders, feeling constantly on edge, or reliving the experience through flashbacks or nightmares. Even long after the danger has passed, your body and mind may still feel stuck in survival mode.
Therapy offers space to process the impact of the trauma at your own pace. We focus on restoring a sense of safety and helping you reconnect with parts of life that may have felt out of reach. You are not broken. Your nervous system has been doing its best to protect you, and healing is possible.
Perinatal Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Support for processing medical trauma, fear, and moments that didn’t go as planned
Perinatal PTSD can develop after a pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that felt frightening, invasive, or out of your control. This might include medical complications, emergency interventions, unexpected outcomes, or feeling unsupported by providers during critical moments. Even when others downplay the experience, your nervous system may still be carrying the weight of what happened.
You might have trouble sleeping, feel on edge, or avoid reminders of the event altogether. Flashbacks, panic, and a sense of detachment are also common. Therapy offers a space to process what you’ve been through, at your pace. Together, we work to restore a sense of safety and begin healing the disconnect between your mind, body, and experience. Your pain is valid, and recovery is possible.
