You might find yourself here if…

• You’ve built a good life — career, relationships, goals — yet there’s still an undercurrent of restlessness, a quiet feeling that something’s missing even when things look fine from the outside.

• You find yourself irritable a great deal of the time.
  
  

• You crave closeness, but when someone gets emotionally near, part of you shuts down, changes the subject, or finds a way to distract yourself before it goes too deep.

• You notice yourself avoiding sex or going through the motions — worrying about performance, replaying moments of rejection, or feeling disconnected from real desire.

• You find it hard to relax. Your mind is always running — replaying conversations, anticipating problems, and rarely feeling at ease.

• You often look calm on the outside but carry an invisible pressure to hold it all together. Even small mistakes can feel like failure.

• You feel emotions rising but can’t quite reach them — as if they get stuck somewhere between your chest and throat. Sometimes it’s easier to feel numb than to feel anything at all.

• You want to be strong and grounded, but not at the cost of being closed off or alone.

• You sense there’s more to you than the version the world sees, but you’re not sure how to slow down enough to find it again.

These are some of the ways anxiety, depression, and perfectionism often show themselves — not as labels, but as tensions you live with every day.
Therapy can help make sense of those patterns, loosen what’s tight, and reconnect you with what’s been waiting beneath the surface.

If you are ready and desirous of going deep, going beyond just the surface layer of things, we might be a good fit.
