You've learned to push through—no matter what. And it's helped you accomplish a lot. But lately, it's starting to feel exhausting. On the outside, you seem capable and put-together. Inside, your mind won't slow down. You replay conversations, question whether you did something wrong, and feel responsible for keeping everything steady. You fall into familiar patterns even when you know they aren't working. Certain emotions hit harder than expected, leaving you overwhelmed or frustrated with yourself for reacting the way you do.
In our work together, we'll slow things down and explore what's underneath your reactions and patterns without rushing you past what feels manageable. As we make space for emotions that may have been pushed aside, you can begin to feel more grounded, more clear, and more like yourself.
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and engaged. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches, including TIST and EMDR, to help you build stability first, then process deeper experiences in a way that leads to real change. If any of this resonates with what you've been experiencing, I'd love to connect. Reach out when you're ready.
