You’re not crazy for feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself. You don’t have to stay stuck, and you don’t have to keep doing it alone.
Here, I share my view of how problems form, approach to change, and the suite of services I offer.

First Things First: How Did We Get Here?
Thinking vs feeling
The truest truth is, most of the time, we make decisions based on feeling. A felt sense that we can’t quite explain:
- You think you’re a calm, reasonable person… and you still flip someone off in traffic
- You know you don’t need to buy the newest skin cream or weight loss drug… and still feel pulled toward it because it promises belonging, confidence, and worth
- You know that your partner being late wasn’t their fault, but still need them to acknowledge your pain to let it go and move on
We don’t just go toward what makes logical sense. We go toward what feels a certain way. It’s how industries like marketing, politics, and entertainment succeed in getting us to act in ways that don’t always line up with what we think we believe (buying things we don't need, for example).
Even those of us that identify logical are driven by emotions (the dopamine hit when you feel competent, feel-good satisfaction when things make sense, and safety and comfort in organization).
how we get stuck
They aren’t weak, soft, or feminine. They are signals from the limbic part of your brain trying to alert the rest of your system, via your body, of something you need.
And over time, your system gets efficient at handling them.
What therapists call “patterns” are just well-worn pathways your brain remembers about how to deal with emotions:
- Feel triggered? Get angry to release energy
- Feel vulnerable? Shut down or go quiet
- Feel uncertain? Go up into your head and try to think your way out
At some point, those responses made sense. But eventually, our pathways will need an update.

where patterns form
These patterns didn’t come out of nowhere. If your:
- Former partner cheated, you learned to stay vigilant, always scanning for what could go wrong
- Parents never knew how to comfort your sadness, you learned to shut your feelings down or keep them to yourself
- Family valued hard work, you learned to push through, keep going, and never fully rest, because your worth depended on the push
At one point, when you were in the origin situation, the responses made sense. But now, you hear from the people who love you that you need to:
- Trust them
- Open up
- Slow down
And your body doesn’t quite know how to do that, even if your brain can get on board.
relationships can create and reveal past triggers
How do you know if what you’re feeling is an old pattern, or a valid response to what’s happening right now?
Sometimes, it’s not either/or. It’s both. And this is where thinking and feeling come back into play:
- You know you want intimacy, but feel uncomfortable when your partner compliments you
- You deeply believe you can trust, but feel a spike of fear when they don’t text back
Part of you is responding to what’s happening now, and part of you is responding to what now reminds you of.
The goal is to update your nervous system (emotional side) so reactions are grounded in the present, not the past. This is where therapy comes in.
how to get unstuck
From there, we use techniques to bring your system out of the past. Not by overriding or ignoring your emotions or telling you to just think something different. But by leaning into yourself and healing the parts of your system that got stuck in the past, creating new, more helpful pathways.
You’re still you, but with more choice, more flexibility, and more awareness. More able to stay grounded and connected, even in the moments that used to make you drift you away.
I love the image of opening the windows and airing out your house. It’s not that what’s inside (your feelings) is bad; it’s that some things have gotten stuck. When you let your emotions move, the space clears, and your house feels clean, airy, and ready for you to live well in.
Whether you are motivated to heal your relationship with yourself or with your partner, here are the ways I can support your work.
When your mind won’t slow down or you feel off, stuck and you want to feel more like you again. We'll uncover where you learned you always hold it together in your relationships, or disconnect from what you feel to keep things steady, and begin to help those patterns soften and shift.
Releasing memories from your past that still show up in how you think, feel, or react. Whether you’ve experienced difficult or traumatic moments in childhood or just have a sense that the past is holding you back, we’ll work to help your nervous system update so you can feel more present.

A 4-hour deep-dive experience for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like therapy hasn’t gone far enough. Moving beyond talk therapy, we work with what’s happening in your body and your nervous system to create relief and safety.

I choose not to take insurance because it allows us to work together in a way that protects your privacy and centers your individual needs, not a diagnosis or a preset treatment limit. Insurance often requires labels, session caps, and detailed clinical reporting that can restrict the pace and depth of the work. By staying private pay, you receive therapy that’s more flexible, more private, and fully focused on your goals rather than meeting insurance requirements that can leave a permanent diagnosis on your medical health record.

How Therapy Works
- Are looking for someone to simply give you their opinion or tell you what to do
- Prefer in-person sessions rather than meeting virtually
- Need an in-network provider for insurance coverage
- Aren’t interested in doing deeper self-healing work outside of session
- Want therapy to tell you what’s right or wrong instead of helping you understand and make your own decisions
Maybe not, if you:
- Are drawn to an exploratory approach where we make sense of how painful experiences have impacted your mind, body, and spirit
- Feel comfortable meeting virtually from the ease and privacy of your home
- Are open to out-of-network therapy
- Resonate with the idea that healing is a journey, not a destination
- Want to understand yourself more fully so you can make empowered decisions for your life, rather than being told what to do
