It all feels too heavy.
When everything is too much - the crying, the anger, the loneliness, the exhaustion - you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m glad you’re here and taking the first step towards relief.
Hi, I’m Derek. I help people who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck find relief and a way forward.
Naming The Hard Stuff
Maybe you’ve said things like:
I feel so heavy all the time, I’m so exhausted.
I can’t stop thinking about it.
I’m tired of feeling this way.
Why don’t people get me? I’d rather just be by myself.
I’m pissed off all the time and I don’t know why.
These words matter. They tell the truth about what’s happening for you.
What Therapy Can Offer You
If you’re feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and just totally fed up, therapy can be a place to slow down, be seen, and find relief. I work with people who feel drained by their feelings - grief, anger, anxiety, persistent sadness - and the thought patterns that trap them.
How I Work
I practice from an existential lens, helping you explore and create meaning even when life feels uncertain or difficult, alongside a relational approach that emphasizes connection and understanding. Together, we’ll hold space for grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life’s many challenges. This is a place where pain and paradox can be met with curiosity, compassion, and, at times, even a touch of humor.
