Adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and the exhausting cycle of repeating patterns that no longer serve them. You might find yourself overthinking everything, shutting down, pulling away, people pleasing, or falling back into coping habits you swore you’d outgrown. A lot of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Therapy with me is about understanding why these patterns exist — not shaming them — so you can build insight, feel more grounded, and start responding to life with intention instead of autopilot.

My approach is IFS-informed, somatic, and holistic. Together, we explore the parts of you that overthink, shut down, people please, or keep repeating patterns that no longer serve you. Instead of judging them, we get curious. Using nervous system and mind-body work, we create lasting change that feels grounding and sustainable.

You’ve gotten really good at holding it together for everyone else, even while struggling internally. If you’re tired of repeating the same patterns and wondering why nothing fully changes, therapy can help you slow down, understand yourself differently, and create change that actually lasts.
