Therapy for people who are self-aware enough to know exactly what their problem is, but somehow still cannot stop doing the thing.
You might be here because your brain will not stop. Maybe you overthink every text, replay conversations, spiral after a weird tone, or feel like one small shift from someone you love means everything is about to collapse. Maybe you are highly functional on paper but internally hanging on by a thread. You show up for work, relationships, and everyone else’s feelings, then privately wonder why being so self-aware has not actually fixed anything.
My style is warm, relational, direct, and human. I'm active in the room, which means I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge patterns that keep you stuck. I will help you slow down, name what is actually happening, and sort out the difference between what is true, what is old, and what your nervous system is currently screaming.
I work well with people who are anxious, obsessive, emotionally intense, relationally sensitive, self-critical, or stuck in patterns they understand but cannot seem to shift. I will be compassionate, but also be honest. I will care about your feelings without letting them take the wheel.
Basically: bring the “too much" we can work with that.
