Many of our clients are the people who look like they have it all together: the high-functioning, overachieving professionals who are juggling careers, families, endless to-dos, and the pressure to always perform. On the outside, it looks like they have it all together. On the inside, they feel like they're drowning. ​ People with anxiety tend to be planners, doers, and thinkers, and those traits are not flaws. In fact, there are real strengths that come with this personality style, but those same strengths can come at a cost. ​If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. ​Our goal is to help you use the helpful parts of your anxiety (motivation, preparedness, intuition) while loosening the grip of the parts that leave you exhausted, tense, and overwhelmed. We call this functional anxiety: learning how to work with your mind, not against it.

Depression doesn’t always look the way people expect it to. You don’t have to be unable to get out of bed or spend the day in the dark for something to be wrong. Many people we work with are still “functioning”, like going to work, taking care of their kids, getting through the day, but inside they feel empty, numb, exhausted, or like they’re just going through the motions. You might find yourself thinking, “Why do I feel so flat all the time?” or “I’m doing everything I’m supposed to do, so why don’t I feel better?” Depression can show up as: • Feeling sad, heavy, or emotionally flat most days • Losing interest in things that used to bring enjoyment • Feeling constantly tired or unmotivated, even after resting • Changes in sleep or appetite • Trouble concentrating or feeling mentally foggy • Harsh self-talk, guilt, or shame • Feeling disconnected from yourself or others • Thoughts of not wanting to be here or wishing things would just stop How Therapy Can Help In therapy, we’ll focus on understanding how depression is showing up for you right now. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, especially with depression, so we move in a way that feels manageable and realistic. ​ You don’t have to keep feeling this way alone. We would be honored to support you in finding your way back to feeling more like yourself again.

Trauma can change how you see yourself, other people, and the world around you. It doesn’t always come from one obvious event: it can be a single experience, repeated situations, or a series of moments that slowly taught your body and nervous system that you weren’t safe. ​ Many people we work with wonder, “Why am I still reacting like this?” or “Why can’t I just move on?” Trauma isn’t a weakness or a failure, it’s the body and mind doing their best to protect you. Trauma can show up emotionally as: • Feeling anxious, depressed, on edge, or easily overwhelmed • Feeling numb, disconnected, or “not like yourself” • Irritability, anger, or sudden emotional reactions • Harsh self-blame, guilt, or shame • Difficulty trusting others or feeling a need to stay in control • Pulling away from people or isolating It can also show up physically: • Digestive issues or changes in appetite • Trouble sleeping or feeling constantly exhausted • Racing heart, shallow breathing, or feeling shaky • Sweating, headaches, or tension when reminded of the past • Difficulty taking care of yourself • Increased use of substances to cope How Therapy Can Help We’ll spend some time understanding how your nervous system responds to stress and perceived danger, so your reactions start to make sense instead of feeling confused or out of control. Over the course of our work together, you will start to feel a sense of peace again.

Becoming a mom can be one of the most meaningful experiences of your life, and also one of the hardest. Loving your children deeply doesn’t mean this transition is easy, and struggling doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. We work with moms who often find themselves thinking: • “Why do I feel like I’m failing at this?” • “Why can’t I enjoy this the way everyone else seems to?” • “Why am I so overwhelmed all the time?” Many of the moms we support struggle with: • Constant guilt or feeling like they’re never doing enough • Shame or harsh self-criticism (“I’m a bad mom” or “Something is wrong with me”) • Feeling overwhelmed by the mental load of daily life • Postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, or rage • Difficulty adjusting to motherhood or loss of identity • Trouble sleeping or feeling constantly exhausted • Feeling isolated, even when they’re not alone ​ How Therapy Can Help We do not impose our values or beliefs onto our clients. You are welcome exactly as you are. Together, we’ll work toward helping you grow into the version of yourself you want to be.

Shame is one of the most painful and often invisible barriers to feeling at peace with yourself. Many people don’t realize that shame is at the root of their anxiety, depression, or feeling “stuck.” It shows up as a quiet, persistent belief that something is wrong with you. Shame often sounds like: • “I don’t deserve to be happy.” • “If they really knew me, they wouldn’t love me.” • “I’m a failure.” • “I’m not good enough.” • “What’s wrong with me?” ​ It can also show up in your body and behavior, not just your thoughts: • Feeling flushed, tense, or wanting to make yourself smaller • Shutting down or going quiet • Pulling away from others or isolating • Zoning out or dissociating • Turning to substances or other coping behaviors to numb the pain • Ongoing anxiety or depression How Therapy Can Help Over time, our work together can help you feel safer in yourself, build empathy for your younger self, and loosen the grip shame has on your life.

You’re the one people rely on. Now it’s your turn to be supported. If you’re a healthcare professional, therapist, educator, or someone in a high-responsibility role, you spend much of your life holding things together for others. You care, lead, respond, manage, and give often without pause. While you’re skilled at being dependable, that constant responsibility can quietly take a toll. You might notice yourself: • Showing up fully at work but feeling distant or depleted at home • Experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, depression, or dissociation • Saying “yes” out of habit and feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate • Holding space for everyone else’s emotions without anywhere to put your own • Believing you should be able to handle it — while quietly struggling • Feeling constant dread, pressure, or unease • Lying awake at night replaying to-do lists and responsibilities How Therapy Can Help Therapy is a space where you don’t have to be the strong one. You don’t need to perform, lead, or hold it together. It’s a place where the helper finally gets to be helped, with compassion, understanding, and support. The goal is support that feels doable, helpful, and sustainable.

Do you often put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own and then feel resentful, exhausted, or taken for granted? ​ You might find yourself wondering: • “Why is it so hard for me to say no?” • “Why do I feel guilty for having needs?” • “Why do people keep crossing my boundaries?” Over time, it can feel like people expect more and more from you, while your own needs keep getting pushed aside. How Therapy Can Help In therapy, we’ll work on helping you communicate clearly and confidently without feeling mean, selfish, or “too much.” We’ll explore different communication styles and focus on assertive communication: a respectful, effective way to express your needs while still honoring others. Together, we’ll also work on setting boundaries and managing expectations in ways that feel realistic to you.

The Grounded Mom: The Postpartum Prep Therapy Intensive ​ Motherhood is one of the most meaningful transitions you’ll ever experience, but it can also bring unexpected emotional and mental challenges. The Grounded Mom Intensive gives you the knowledge, tools, and emotional support you need to navigate this new chapter with confidence, clarity, and care. ​ Therapy intensives are an accelerated, immersive approach to growth and healing. Rather than attending weekly sessions over several months, you spend a focused block of time working closely with a therapist, allowing you to dig deep, process complex emotions, and make meaningful progress in a shorter period. ​ These intensives provide a dedicated, distraction-free space to prioritize you. Here, you can step away from the daily grind and focus entirely on your healing and wellbeing. ​ What's Included: Free 20-Minute Consultation Before we begin, we’ll connect for a brief phone consultation to ensure an intensive is the right fit for you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the process, and get clarity on what to expect. If it feels like a good match, we’ll schedule your pre-intensive meeting and you’ll receive a few assessments to complete online. These help me better understand your current emotional landscape and any factors that may affect your postpartum experience. ​ Pre-Intensive Meeting (90 Minutes) Our work begins with a 90-minute session to explore your goals, concerns, and hopes for the postpartum period. We’ll review your history, identify potential risk factors for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and begin building a roadmap for your individualized intensive. This conversation sets the foundation for your personalized plan and ensures the experience is tailored completely to you. ​ Customized Intensive Kit Before your Intensive, you’ll receive a curated kit delivered to your door filled with tools, handouts, and resources based on what we discussed in your pre-intensive session. Every item is selected to help you deepen the work and integrate what you learn during our time together. ​ 3-Hour Intensive Session This is our deep-dive session: an immersive, therapeutic experience designed to meet you exactly where you are. We’ll explore education around PMADs relevant to your personal history and focus on the areas that matter most to you, which may include: • Managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD symptoms • Working through guilt, shame, or identity shifts • Building emotional regulation skills for you and your baby • Learning practical coping tools and self-care strategies • Strengthening your support system and sense of confidence You’ll leave this session with insight, tools, and a personalized plan for emotional wellness during your postpartum journey. ​ Post-Intensive Check-In (90 Minutes) Once you’ve had time to apply what you learned, we’ll meet again for a 90-minute follow-up to reflect, adjust, and expand. This is your space to share what’s working, what feels challenging, and what additional support or resources might help you continue to thrive. ​ Cost-Effective: When compared to the cost of several months of weekly therapy, an intensive often provides the same (or greater) value in a shorter timeframe. ​ Your Investment: $1200 This one-time intensive includes the 90 minute pre-intensive meeting, customized kit, 3-hour deep-dive session, and 90 minute post-intensive follow-up.
