You’re self-aware. You’ve done the work. So why does it still feel the same? You can name your patterns. You understand where they come from. But in relationships, anxiety still takes over. You overthink, pull back, chase, shut down, and end up right back in the same place. From the outside, your life works. Internally, something feels off. You’re tired of just managing it. You don’t need more insight. You need something to actually shift.
I work with gay men who are high-functioning, self-aware, and stuck in repeating cycles, particularly in dating, relationships, and self-worth. Together we look at what's driving your reactions underneath the insight you already have, and what needs to change so you can actually show up differently.
I use approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting that work at the level where patterns are actually stored, not just talked about. If you’re tired of repeating the same patterns and ready for something to actually feel different, reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if it feels like a good fit.
