It’s too familiar…you’re overwhelmed by your to-do list but can’t seem to make progress. It’s not that you don’t have the time…it’s just you can’t seem to organize your mind to finish anything. It’s as if you have 50 open tabs in your Internet browser and don’t know where to begin. You feel that familiar tightening in your chest, the queasiness in your stomach, the lump in your throat. Your body is trying to tell you something, but even if you knew how to slow down to pay attention, there’s no time…not with 50 browser tabs open.

And even when you do try to slow down, you’re met with an overwhelming flood of emotion that feels so unmanageable it’s terrifying. Better to keep going…slowing down is dangerous and makes things feel worse, plus there are too many others relying on you and you can’t disappoint them.

But the problem is…this internal tug-of-war is exhausting. You long to be able to slow down, to stop battling yourself.

I can help you to do just that.

I speak from personal experience, having spent the last 17 years helping my clients to stop battling themselves and their stuck places. I specialize in helping people learn how to manageably address their overwhelming feelings and stuck patterns that no amount of logic or trying harder have been able to solve. Through focused weekly or intensive therapy sessions, I use trauma-informed somatic and Internal Family Systems techniques to enable my clients to find lasting relief from the exhaustion of survival mode, giving them a path forward out of the stuck points and into new, life-giving patterns of living and loving. My specialty is partnering with you to help you get unstuck with compassion and no judgment…I know firsthand how maddening it can feel to logically know one thing and yet feel completely unable to integrate the knowing into the believing and the living. It doesn’t mean that you are weak or incapable…it just means that there are parts of your story not fully integrated into your present-day life, and I can help with that.
