You’ve Done Everything Right—So Why Does It Still Feel Like Something’s Missing?
On paper, your life looks great. You’ve checked all the boxes—career, friendships, personal growth. You’re independent, successful, and people admire how put-together you seem.
But when it comes to relationships, it’s complicated. You’re healing from a breakup, wondering why it didn’t work out despite your best efforts. You want love but feel unsure about how to find a relationship that truly feels right. You’re tired of repeating the same patterns—overthinking every text, questioning your own needs, or feeling emotionally exhausted. I can help.

Life doesn’t have to be on autopilot. Many of us grow up living according to what we “should” be, but along the way, we lose sight of who we truly are. I believe self-discovery is the key to breaking free from the past, overcoming trauma, and letting go of limiting beliefs. My approach is centered on helping you reconnect with your authentic self—empowering you to make intentional choices, step into your power, and create a future that’s truly aligned with your values. Together, we can uncover the voice you've been missing.

Are you a Millennial or Gen Z feeling stuck navigating anxiety in your relationships? You might be facing challenges with modern dating, breakups, the complexities of separation or divorce, or feeling like an outsider in your own family, possibly due to emotionally immature parents or estrangement. Do overwhelming emotions or discomfort with vulnerability impact your connections? Do you feel drained, resentful, or unseen? Perhaps this has led to shame, guilt, or a deep sense of not being good enough. These aren't just surface issues; they impact your identity, and understanding these struggles is the first step towards growth.

How to find hope? If you are feeling STUCK, engaging in therapy can help you get MOVING again. Usually, you are someone on the MOVE, adapting to challenges, always ready for the next stage, with confidence and a SMILE! But this time it’s different. You may feel trapped. Pressing ahead and making desired change is hard. You may be struggling with finding yourself, a lack of meaning in your life, difficulty managing relationships, or processing emotions and unresolved trauma.

Many of my clients come to therapy because they feel discouraged that the people around them appear to not understand the personal challenges they're facing in their lives. In attempting to talk about simple daily struggles, friends, family and co-workers often give advice or put a positive spin on what's hard. This can leave us feeling inadequate that we seem to be baffled by things that others appear to have figured out. As humans we need understanding and acceptance in order that we can continue to grow: and this is support you can find in good therapy.
