If you’re the one who seems to have it all together, showing up, staying on top of everything, but your mind won’t shut off… it’s exhausting, and you’re not alone. A lot of people feel like they’re stuck in the same place, looking fine on the outside but feeling overwhelmed underneath. Maybe you replay conversations, struggle to set boundaries without guilt, or put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Therapy can be a place to take a breath, get clearer on what’s going on, and start moving forward in a way that just feels better.

Sometimes we reach a point where what used to work just doesn’t anymore. Maybe it’s old coping strategies, unresolved trauma, or ways of relating that leave you feeling stuck or disconnected. I work with people who are ready to go deeper—who want to understand the root of their struggles and create lasting change. Together, we explore what’s keeping you stuck, whether through trauma processing, parts work, nervous system regulation, or other holistic modalities. Our work is warm, collaborative, and grounded in neuroscience.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves.

Others may feel exhausted from masking, struggling to regulate emotions, or trying to understand the impact that past experiences continue to have on their daily lives. Often, these challenges are connected to patterns that developed earlier in life and continue to influence how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.

By adulthood, we operate on beliefs based on what we learned in childhood from out parents, siblings, friends, teachers. Our way of interacting with others may have worked then, but now don't seem to be effective, or working against us. This can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, frustration and loss of vitality. Address the patterns and beliefs that now lead to conflict with others or yourself, or just don't work. Together, we can identify what's not working and determine your direction for change. My focus is on you, your success, your health and living a richer life.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
