You’ve probably spent a long time holding things together.
On the outside, you may look capable, thoughtful and high-functioning. But internally, you might feel stuck in patterns that are exhausting to carry alone — overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, or relationships that feel harder than they should.
These patterns often begin as ways of adapting. They helped you stay safe, connected or accepted, but they may no longer be serving you.
Therapy offers an opportunity to understand those patterns with compassion, gently loosen their hold, and create meaningful, lasting change.
You might:
- overthink conversations or decisions long after they’ve happened
- feel responsible for how others feel
- struggle to feel “good enough,” despite achieving a lot
- notice patterns in relationships that you can’t shift
- understand yourself—but still feel stuck
Often, these patterns aren’t about a lack of insight.
They’re shaped by earlier experiences—particularly in relationships—and can become deeply embedded ways of responding, even when they’re no longer helpful.
Patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt don’t just live in thoughts.
They are often connected to deeper emotional and relational experiences.
This means that insight alone isn’t always enough to create change.
Therapy can offer a space to not only understand these patterns—but to begin to shift them at a deeper level.
How I work
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in understanding the deeper patterns that shape how you experience yourself and your relationships.
I draw on attachment-informed therapy, EMDR and Polyvagal Theory. Together, we work not just to understand your experiences intellectually and make sense of your patterns, but to help your emotional and nervous system experience something different.
Over time, I've found that longer sessions create the best conditions for many of my clients to feel settled, understood, and able to engage more deeply in the therapeutic process. For this reason, I primarily offer 75- and 100-minute sessions, allowing us the time to explore, process and integrate without feeling rushed.
While the work can be challenging, there is also space for warmth, laughter, and genuine human connection along the way.
