To the outside world, it seems that you function well. But inside, there's a persistent sense that what you feel is not quite right, maybe it's too much, or even too little. Maybe you feel that others wouldn’t be affected by the things the way you are. That the version of you that shows up internally isn't the version you're supposed to be. You are self-aware and capable, however, there is still something within you that doesn't shift. Maybe there are deeper questions underneath: did something from your past shape how you see yourself? Might the way your mind works explain something you've always quietly called a flaw?
I draw on humanistic and trauma-informed approaches, integrating somatic and body-based methods alongside more traditional talk therapies. My work is grounded in Focusing-Oriented Therapy, gestalt therapy and interpersonal process that helps clients reach what cognitive insight alone hasn't been able to shift.
You are likely more comfortable holding space for others than receiving it yourself. You don't need to arrive with the right words or a clear sense of what's wrong. I offer a free 15-minute consultation as a chance to get a sense of each other before committing to anything.
