Areas We Specialize In
Relationships & Communication
Whether you are struggling with attachment issues, social anxiety, or feeling disconnected from a partner, we help you break the cycle. We focus on relationship dynamics and communication to help you build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
Navigating Life Transitions
Major life changes—like career shifts, breakups, or grief—often trigger anxiety and confusion. We use existential therapy to help you find footing in the unknown. We turn a difficult life transition from a crisis into an opportunity for clarity and new meaning.
Self-Esteem & Confidence
We don't just "boost" confidence; we look at the roots of low self-esteem, social anxiety and perfectionism. We help you quiet the inner critic and heal the old narratives that hold you back, allowing you to build a stable, authentic sense of self that doesn't depend on what others think.
