Sometimes it's hard to put into words, but overall you just feel...stuck. You're going through the motions of life, weighed down by this feeling. You might have lived through something that shook your world, or have no idea why you feel this way. It shows up in your relationships with others and yourself - you want to go deeper, feel more, but something gets in the way you can't quite name. Maybe you take in more than the people around you, and its worn you down. You notice critical thoughts about yourself - about your body, your worth, or who you truly are. You're not broken. You're just tired of carrying this alone.

Together, we'll look at where that inner critic shows up - thoughts about your body, how you show up in relationships, and the constant self-judgment and overthinking. We use Brainspotting, parts work, and Intuitive Eating to work with what's underneath, not just talk around it, so you can show up more like yourself. Even if you've tried before.

You don't need the right words or a clear starting point (that's what we'll figure out together). If you're feeling stuck and ready to live a life you've actually chosen, schedule a free consultation through my website or the contact button above. You're not broken, and you deserve real change, whether this is your first time in therapy or your twentieth.

Therapy with me is warm, direct, and a little unconventional. We'll get curious about the parts of you that are exhausted, scared, or convinced you can't be trusted - instead of trying to silence them. Expect honest conversation, zero judgment, and a process that actually goes somewhere. No cookie-cutter treatment plans. Just real work, tailored to you.
