About

You look like you’re holding things together. Inside, something feels off. You might be replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, or feeling unsure which of your feelings to trust. A relationship leaves you feeling smaller or more careful than you want to be. A transition—moving, starting something new, taking on more responsibility—has knocked you off balance. You notice yourself accommodating, managing, smoothing things over. On the outside, you’re capable. On the inside, resentment and exhaustion are quietly building. Whatever you’re doing to cope doesn’t feel sustainable anymore. Therapy with me focuses on what’s happening beneath the surface. We notice when you overextend, hold back, or avoid conflict, and how your thoughts, emotions, and body react in real time. Together, we untangle patterns that once protected you but now keep you stuck—so you can respond with intention and feel steadier in yourself.
