Does this sound familiar?
Something’s been off for a while now. Maybe you can’t pinpoint exactly when it started, but you know it’s there.
Maybe you’re the person everyone relies on, but you have no idea how to ask for what you need. Maybe you keep choosing partners who leave you feeling alone. Maybe you’ve built the life you’re supposed to want and still wake up feeling empty. Or maybe your body is keeping score – the tension that won’t release, the sleep that won’t come, the anxiety that shows up out of nowhere.
You’ve probably tried things. Self-help books, podcasts, maybe even therapy before. Some of it helped for a bit. But you keep ending up back in the same place, and you’re starting to realize the problem is deeper than surface-level coping strategies can reach.
If you’re reading this, you already know something: whatever’s driving this, it’s not something you can think your way out of on your own.
What Actually Changes in Therapy
Real therapy isn’t about learning techniques to manage symptoms. It’s about understanding why the symptoms are there in the first place.
When we work together, we look at the patterns you can’t see on your own. Why you shut down right when you want to speak up. Why you sabotage things when they start going well. Why you feel responsible for everyone’s emotions except your own. Why certain situations trigger reactions that feel way too big for what’s actually happening.
Here’s what clients tell me shifts:
The Sunday night dread lifts. You stop losing entire days to anxiety. The fight with your partner that used to derail you for a week becomes a conversation you can actually have. You make a decision based on what you want, not what you think will keep everyone else comfortable. You set a boundary without apologizing for it. You notice you’re present in moments instead of watching them happen from somewhere else.
Your body changes too. You sleep through the night. Your shoulders drop away from your ears. The knot in your stomach loosens. These aren’t small things – they’re signs your nervous system is finally getting the message that you’re safe.
This doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen because I give you worksheets. It happens because we look at what’s actually driving your life – the beliefs you didn’t know you had, the patterns that made sense once but don’t serve you now, the parts of yourself you’ve been working around instead of working with.
How I Work
I work primarily from a psychodynamic approach, which means we’re looking at the deeper why beneath your patterns. When it’s useful, I bring in other tools – CBT for shifting specific thought patterns, EMDR for processing trauma that’s stuck in your body.
With thousands of hours of clinical experience in both private practice and inpatient psychiatric settings, I’ve learned that good therapy isn’t about applying the same formula to everyone. It’s about understanding what you actually need and meeting you there.
The relationship we build matters too. When someone truly understands what you’re going through without judging it, something fundamental shifts. You can finally explore the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding, and life starts to feel less like something you’re managing and more like something you’re actually living.
