Feeling stuck but you can’t quite figure out how to change it?
Maybe you’re caught between competing pressures in a relationship, unsure about a major life decision, or frustrated that old patterns keep repeating. You might understand why things are the way they are—but still feel unable to move forward.
For over 12 years, I’ve helped people work through that exact place: where insight is there, but real change feels out of reach.
Together, we’ll take a patient, compassionate look at what’s happening beneath the surface—whether that’s anxiety, depression, past trauma, or relationship struggles. From there, we’ll untangle the patterns that are keeping you stuck and build a clearer path forward.
I draw from approaches like CBT, psychodynamic, and interpersonal therapy—but more importantly, I tailor the work to you, so it actually fits your life.
Finding the right therapist matters. Please reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to see if it feels like we’d be a good fit. I offer telehealth sessions, along with limited in-person availability.
