Anxiety Therapy for Adults
When your mind rarely lets you off the clock.
You may be someone who looks capable on the outside while internally, your brain is working overtime.
Maybe you replay conversations after they happen. You overthink decisions, worry about disappointing people, put enormous pressure on yourself to get things right, or have a hard time feeling like what you do is ever quite enough.
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it looks like perfectionism, irritability, chronic stress, indecision, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or lying awake thinking about something everyone else seems to have forgotten about.
In anxiety therapy, we can get curious about what your anxiety is responding to, understand the patterns that keep it going, and practice ways of relating to yourself with more flexibility, trust, and compassion.
Therapy may include support for:
Anxiety · Overthinking · Perfectionism · Chronic Stress · Self-Criticism · Guilt & Shame · Low Self-Esteem · People-Pleasing
Therapy for Codependency, Boundaries & Relationship Concerns
You can care deeply about other people without disappearing from your own life.
Maybe you’re highly attuned to everyone around you.
You notice shifts in someone’s mood. You think carefully about how your choices will affect other people. You avoid conflict, over-explain yourself, say yes when you want to say no, or feel guilty when someone is disappointed in you.
Over time, it can become difficult to tell where caring for other people ends and abandoning yourself begins.
Therapy can help you explore the relationship patterns you’ve learned, where they came from, and how they affect the way you connect with others today. Together, we can work toward relationships that have room for your needs, boundaries, feelings, and voice, too.
Therapy may include support for:
Codependency · People-Pleasing · Boundary Setting · Communication · Family Dynamics · Romantic Relationships · Attachment Patterns · Relationship Anxiety
Trauma & Attachment Therapy for Adults
Sometimes the ways you learned to survive stick around long after you needed them.
Our experiences- especially within important relationships- can shape how safe we feel, how much we trust ourselves, what we expect from other people, and what we believe we have to do to stay connected.
You may find yourself over-functioning, shutting down, anticipating other people’s reactions, struggling to ask for help, feeling responsible for everyone around you, or becoming overwhelmed by situations that seem small on the surface.
Trauma and attachment-informed therapy isn’t about forcing you to revisit every painful experience you’ve had. It’s about understanding how your history may still be showing up in the present and helping you develop ways of responding that fit the life you’re living now.
We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
Therapy may include support for:
Trauma · Attachment Concerns · Past Adversity · Family-of-Origin Experiences · Relationship Patterns · Emotional Regulation · Hypervigilance · Shame
Burnout Therapy for Adults & Helping Professionals
There’s tired- and then there’s the kind of tired that comes from carrying too much for too long.
Burnout can happen when you’ve spent months or years pushing through, staying productive, taking care of other people, meeting expectations, and telling yourself you’ll rest when things finally calm down.
Except they rarely do.
You may feel exhausted, irritable, detached, resentful, unmotivated, emotionally depleted, or guilty that you don’t have more to give.
In burnout therapy, we can look beyond simply helping you “manage stress better.” We’ll explore the expectations, boundaries, identities, relationships, and patterns that may be keeping you in a cycle of overextending yourself- and what it could look like to live differently.
Therapy may include support for:
Burnout · Chronic Stress · Emotional Exhaustion · Overfunctioning · Perfectionism · Work-Life Boundaries · Compassion Fatigue · High Expectations
Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy & ADHD Support
Understanding how your brain works can change the way you understand yourself.
Maybe you’ve known you have ADHD for years. Maybe you’re newly diagnosed. Maybe you’ve started wondering whether neurodivergence explains experiences you previously interpreted as laziness, disorganization, oversensitivity, or simply being “bad at being an adult.”
Therapy can provide space to understand your brain without treating difference as deficiency.
We can explore executive functioning, overwhelm, emotional regulation, masking, relationships, sensory needs, self-esteem, and the years of messages you may have internalized about how you should be able to function.
The goal isn’t to turn you into someone with a different brain. It’s to understand yourself more clearly and find strategies, expectations, and ways of living that actually work for you.
Therapy may include support for:
ADHD · AuDHD · Autism · Executive Functioning · Masking · Overwhelm · Emotional Regulation · Identity · Late Diagnosis or Identification · Self-Criticism
Therapy for Motherhood & Identity
Motherhood can shift your relationships, priorities, capacity, and sense of self. Therapy offers space for the complicated parts, too- helping you reconnect with who you are and what you need while caring for others.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
Affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse adults navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, family dynamics, trauma, and life transitions. Your identity is part of your story- not something you need to explain, defend, or change.
ENM, Polyamory & Nontraditional Relationships
Judgment-free therapy for adults navigating ENM, polyamory, and nontraditional relationships. Explore communication, attachment, boundaries, jealousy, emotional needs, and relationships that align with your values.
Depression & Life Transition Therapy
Support for times when you feel disconnected, stuck, depleted, or unsure of what comes next. Whether you’re navigating depression, a major life change, or simply feeling unlike yourself, therapy can help you make sense of what’s shifting, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with self-trust.

Ready to Start Therapy?
You don’t have to know exactly where to begin.
Maybe you already know what you want to work on. Maybe several of the sections above felt familiar. Or maybe you just know that the way things have been going isn’t how you want them to keep going.
That’s enough of a place to start.
