Therapy is a place to explore your choices, uncover what matters most, and find your own path through life. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and life transitions, helping them slow down, notice patterns, and make decisions that reflect their values. In sessions, we focus on building on your strengths and noticing patterns that may hold you back. Using strategies from ACT and CBT, we explore your values, practice skills for responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, and take meaningful action that aligns with the life you want to live. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, helping you move forward in a way that feels authentic and freeing.

Maya was feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Juggling too much for too long her drained and unsure how to move forward — but she knew something had to change.

The Journey
The Journey
The Journey
From the very first session, it was clear that Maya didn’t need more advice — she needed space. Space to slow down, to breathe, and to feel without the pressure of being “productive” all the time.
Starting Point
Our work together started gently, focusing first on rebuilding trust in her own internal signals. Maya had spent so long in a state of overdrive that even rest felt unfamiliar. So we met her where she was, without judgment or urgency.
Our Approach
As the sessions unfolded, we explored the subtle ways stress had shaped her decisions — from always saying yes at work to never allowing herself moments of stillness. We didn’t jump into action plans right away. Instead, we paid attention to what was already happening beneath the surface.

“I used to think therapy was about fixing what’s wrong. But this was different. It felt more like coming home to myself — quietly, slowly, and with a lot more kindness than I expected.”

Over time, Maya began to recognize her own thresholds. She started noticing when she was entering that familiar, frantic mode. And rather than pushing through, she experimented with pausing. There were moments of doubt — moments when she questioned if slowing down meant falling behind. But these moments became opportunities.
The process isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building awareness, finding clarity, and developing tools that actually work for your life. Every session becomes a step toward understanding yourself better and creating changes that last.
Final Reflections
Through reflection and realignment, she discovered that stepping back could actually move her forward. As weeks passed, Maya’s days became less packed and more purposeful. The world around her didn’t change overnight, but her way of moving through it did. The stress didn’t disappear, but it no longer controlled the narrative.
