You're smart and self-aware but tired of cycles you can’t seem to shift: overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, or a constant state of fight/flight/freeze. You may secretly view yourself as “the problem,” stuck in a story where you’re the villain or the failure. Maybe you’re navigating trauma, ADHD, anxiety, or identity pain in a world that hasn’t made space for your complexity. You want to feel more clear, self-directed, and powerful, on your own terms, and for someone who gets it, quickly. You're not looking for vague validation or surface-level tools but depth and precision to translate insight into forward motion.

If you're feeling 'stuck' in a relationship whether it be romantic, work/professional, or another dynamic, even the relationship with self, this is not uncommon. Sometimes, we need a mirror to compassionately reflect back to us key insights that we might otherwise miss in order to understand why a shift might be challenging.
My educational journey started in the Green Mountains of VT at Middlebury college, then moved west and completed my MSW at Arizona State University. In my free time I love to garden, run/be outdoor with my sweet Belgian Malinois, practice yoga, read, write, and spend time with friends.
