Therapy is a conversation that changes how you carry yourself through the world. Do you feel like life is falling apart? Does holding it altogether get exhausting? I help clients when they're experiencing anxiety masked as "functioning", life transitions, overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional shut down.
