Feeling stuck doesn't always mean you don't know what needs to change. Sometimes you know exactly what isn't working. You recognize the pattern, understand where it came from, and can even tell yourself what to do differently, then find yourself right back in the same place. Maybe you've survived things you're ready to move beyond, keep accepting less than you deserve, or feel frustrated that self-awareness hasn't helped you feel better.

I work best with people who are ready to move beyond understanding themselves and start doing something with that understanding. Therapy with me is active. I'll listen, but I won't just sit back and nod. I'll ask hard questions, point out patterns, offer another perspective, and challenge you when we're bumping up against something important. We might notice the story you're telling yourself, get curious about the part of you that keeps responding a certain way, or slow down to notice what's happening in your body. Sometimes the question isn't simply "Why do I do this?" but "What's keeping me from doing something different?"

Change doesn't require you to be endlessly critical of yourself. Both things can be true: a pattern can make complete sense given what you've experienced and no longer serve the life you want now. Progress might look like setting a boundary, challenging a belief you once accepted automatically, catching a pattern before acting on it, or giving yourself grace when you slip back into an old one. One of my favorite moments in therapy is when a client brings something into session and, before I can ask, they're already identifying what's underneath it. Eventually, you begin doing for yourself what we've practiced together.

I hold a Master's in Social Work and am dually licensed as a Certified Social Worker (CSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), with training in EMDR, DBT, and the Gottman Method. My clinical experience includes work with survivors of human trafficking, substance use treatment, mental health urgent care and psychiatry, hospital-based care, group therapy, and individual outpatient therapy.
