Sometimes life feels like you’re walking around in shoes that don’t quite fit—trying to live by stories that someone else wrote for you. At Changing Insights, we believe that real growth begins when you start to understand yourself differently—when you gain new clarity about what’s been holding you back and what’s possible instead.
I work with couples and individuals who are ready to explore themselves more deeply. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, or the lasting effects of trauma, my goal is to help you develop the insight and confidence to create the changes you want.
Past experiences or current challenges may lead us to adopt unhelpful narratives about who we are or what we deserve. Those stories can become restrictive and uncomfortable—like wearing shoes that are three sizes too small. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you and develop new insights that lead to growth and healing.
My approach is collaborative and supportive. I see you as the expert of your own life, and my role is to help you uncover your strengths, gain deeper understanding, and begin writing your preferred story. With greater self-awareness comes freedom—the freedom to live a life that truly fits.
