Pajama‑Forward Therapist here. If white‑knuckling, self‑shaming, and "try harder" actually worked, you'd have been healed years ago. But for many of us—especially people whose minds race and don't easily power down—it doesn't. Rest can feel impossible. Sometimes substances, distraction, or other coping strategies become the only way to get through the day. That doesn't mean you're broken. It means you've been carrying a lot for a long time. There is more to life than survival mode. A calmer, more meaningful life is possible—but it usually requires going deeper and looking at what's underneath. I'll go there with you.
This isn't just empathy and conversation. I use evidence‑based tools and a clear, active process designed to help you move through what's stuck and build something steadier. It's collaborative and intentional—you bring your honesty, I bring my training.
If something in you is saying it's time to stop settling, listen to that. There is a quieter, more authentic life ahead—one with less self‑criticism and more purpose. You don't have to do it alone. Reach out when you're ready. Private pay only; insurance not accepted.

Being afraid doesn't mean you stop. It means you're about to do something that matters. Leaping isn't about having no fear; it's about moving while your hands are shaking. And you don't have to jump into the dark alone. I'm right there, holding your hand through the whole thing—steady and present.

My practice is built for chronic overthinkers navigating demanding worlds—scientists, engineers, clinicians, tech professionals, military and first responders, college students, and artists. These are people who think deeply, care intensely, and often feel unseen in the process. I also work closely with neurodivergent adults and queer folks who are tired of performing "normal."

You deserve a guide who can meet you wherever you are. Whether we're untangling old patterns with IFS, processing trauma through EMDR, healing connection with EFT, or exploring new ground with psychedelic-assisted therapy, my approach is deeply human and grounded in what actually works. It's not about applying a textbook; it's about being fully present with you in the work.
