We help adults who feel stuck in worry, overthinking, panic, social anxiety, work stress, perfectionism, or constant self-monitoring. Our approach is weekly, insight-oriented therapy that looks beneath the symptoms to the patterns driving them. We help clients understand what anxiety is protecting, where it started, and how to build a steadier relationship with themselves and others.

We work with clients navigating the emotional weight of fertility challenges -- IVF, IUI, egg freezing decisions, pregnancy loss, and the isolation that often comes with it. Therapy here isn't about staying positive; it's a space to process grief, uncertainty, and the parts of this journey that are hard to say out loud, even to people who love you.

We support women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shifts that come with new motherhood -- matrescence, the loss of who you were before, and the pressure to bounce back before you've even caught your breath. We also work with perimenopause and menopause, where mood and identity shifts again. Sessions focus on the patterns underneath, not just symptom management.

Psychodynamic therapy is our primary approach: weekly, insight-oriented sessions that look at the patterns beneath the symptom -- where they started, what they're protecting, and how they keep showing up in relationships and work. We're not interested in quick coping tricks. We're interested in the underlying material, and in building a therapeutic relationship steady enough to actually work through it.

We practice depth therapy because symptom relief that doesn't touch the underlying pattern tends to come back. Our clients are often high-functioning adults who look fine on the outside -- successful, put-together -- while carrying anxiety, burnout, or relationship patterns that quick fixes haven't resolved. Weekly sessions with the same clinician let us go beneath the surface and work on what's actually driving it.
