You're the former "mature for your age" kid who's now painfully self-aware, and still emotionally stuck. You understand why you feel the way you do. You can trace the pattern back to its root. But knowing the "why" hasn't changed the pattern of the anxiety, the shutdown, the same relationship dynamic on repeat. You've been to therapy before, and it helped you understand yourself better, but it didn't feel like anything actually shifted. You left session after session with more insight and the same stuck feeling.

Insight lives in your head; change happens in your body and your relationships. We won't just talk about your patterns, we'll notice them as they show up between us, in real time: tracking what happens in your body when a memory surfaces, naming the moment you start performing "being 'put-together." I'll be direct while still making you feel cared for. We'll carefully explore your trauma, depression, anxiety, and more using emotion focused strategies.

Off the clock, I'm a toddler mom, first responder wife, and dog mom of three! I work with adults and teens 16+ who've done the reading and maybe some therapy already, and are ready for something warmer and less clinical. This work will feel different, and maybe messy, but it's worth it to feel a real, deeper connection to yourself.
