Services Overview

I often work with teens and young adult women who are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. Many are bright, capable, and used to doing well academically or meeting expectations — which often means their struggles are overlooked or not taken seriously.

​

Some are gifted or high-achieving and quietly wonder if their brain just works differently, even as others assume they're "fine" because their grades are good and they seem put together. Inside, though, they may be dealing with constant overthinking, emotional intensity, self-doubt, or pressure to keep performing.

​

Many of the people I work with question whether their struggles are "big enough" for therapy. They worry they should wait until things get worse or until there's a clear crisis. Often, part of our work begins with reassuring them that it's okay to ask for help now — and recognizing the strength it takes to listen to that small inner voice that says something doesn't feel right.

​

Clients often reach out during periods of transition, such as adolescence, college, or early adulthood, when expectations increase and their usual ways of coping stop working. They're not looking to be fixed — they're looking for a space where they can slow down, be taken seriously, and make sense of what's happening inside.

This work is best suited for teens and young adults seeking ongoing outpatient therapy rather than short-term or crisis-based support.
