About

You might find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, unsure why things feel so hard when, on the surface everything seems “fine.” Maybe you feel anxious or on edge more often than you would like, struggle with low mood or self-doubt, or feel flooded by emotions that are difficult to manage. Many people come to therapy with these concerns, even when they are not sure where they come from. Often, these struggles grow out of experiences and relationships that shaped how you learned to cope, protect yourself, or stay connected to others. What feels frustrating or confusing now, usually once served an important purpose. I work from a psychodynamic lens, exploring how early experiences and relational patterns show up in your life today. Rather than trying to force change, we slow down and focus on understanding why your patterns exist, which naturally opens space for shifts to occur. My work is supported by the ongoing supervision of psychologist Soni Gibbons Psy.D. PSY1670.
