Many of my clients arrive after years of appearing capable while privately using enormous effort to keep everything functioning. Burnout may involve exhaustion, reduced capacity, sensory overwhelm, difficulty initiating tasks, or no longer being able to mask. Therapy is not about restoring the same unsustainable performance. We explore what the burnout is communicating and build a life with more support, flexibility, and room to be human.

I work with adults whose ADHD may be late identified, masked, or misunderstood as anxiety, inconsistency, or a failure to try hard enough. Therapy may explore executive functioning, rejection sensitivity, burnout, relationships, shame, and the systems a person needs to live and work more sustainably.

I work with queer, trans, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and gender-questioning clients without treating identity as a problem to resolve. Therapy can make room for exploration, transition, relationships, family, embodiment, safety, and belonging—without requiring a predetermined outcome or a more socially acceptable version of yourself.

Expressive arts therapy offers ways of knowing that do not depend entirely on spoken language. When useful, sessions may include visual art, writing, metaphor, music, sound, movement, or imagination. Artistic skill is never required, and creative expression is an invitation—not a demand. We follow what emerges from the process while respecting your preferences around participation, interpretation, and witnessing.

Existential therapy explores how we make meaning within the realities of freedom, responsibility, uncertainty, limitation, identity, and relationship. Rather than reducing distress to symptoms, we consider what your experience reveals about how you have survived, what you value, and how you want to live. Therapy makes room for complexity without forcing a neat answer or predetermined version of wellness.

Relational therapy understands that people develop, survive, and heal within relationships. We pay attention to patterns of connection, protection, power, trust, and misunderstanding—including what emerges between us in therapy. I do not position myself as a detached expert interpreting you from a distance. We build understanding together through curiosity, directness, consent, humor, and attention to what creates safety.
