A place to reconnect with yourself
Welcome, I’m Anthony.
Therapy is a place to understand yourself more deeply, not to judge or “fix” who you are. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped you, make space for the parts of you that have learned to protect you, and work toward greater connection, flexibility, and self-compassion.

How I Approach Therapy
A Compassionate Approach
You are not a problem to solve. Symptoms and protective patterns often develop for understandable reasons.
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Therapy is collaborative and tailored to you, and may include conversation, mindfulness, parts work, somatic awareness, and experiential approaches.
Support for Meaningful Change
Together, we’ll explore patterns, build flexibility, and develop self-compassion—at a pace that respects your experience.
Space for what you’re carrying
What I Can Help With
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, complex trauma, perfectionism, relationship and family difficulties, abandonment fears, people-pleasing, and difficulty regulating emotions.
Anxiety
Anxiety can leave you feeling overwhelmed, constantly overthinking, or anticipating what might go wrong.
Shame
Shame can leave us feeling fundamentally flawed, unworthy, or disconnected from others.
Depression
Depression can leave you feeling disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or unable to find meaning in things you once enjoyed.
Trauma
Trauma can shape how we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Self-Criticism
An inner critic can make even your greatest accomplishments feel insufficient. Often, these critical patterns develop as attempts to protect us from failure, rejection, or disappointment.
Relationships
Relationships can bring connection and fulfillment, but they can also activate old wounds and painful patterns.
People Pleasing
Do you find yourself prioritizing others’ needs while neglecting your own? People-pleasing often develops as a way to maintain connection, avoid conflict, or feel accepted.
Attachment Wounds
Early relationships can influence how we experience trust, intimacy, and emotional safety.
Emotionally Immature Family
Growing up in a family where your emotional needs were dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood can leave lasting effects on your sense of self.
Emotion Dysregulation
When emotions feel overwhelming, even everyday situations can become difficult to navigate.
Life Transitions & Grief
Change and loss can bring uncertainty, sadness, and a sense of disconnection from what once felt familiar.
Identity & Self Discovery
Understanding who you are can be a lifelong journey, particularly when you’ve spent years meeting others’ expectations or hiding parts of yourself.
Take the next step
You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit matters. I offer a free consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer your questions, and explore whether working together feels right for you.
