If you feel like…

You’re caught in an endless tug-of-war. On one side, there’s a deep self-awareness—you see the patterns, recognize the triggers, and understand what’s holding you back. On the other side, following through feels impossible, as if an invisible force keeps pulling you off track. Perfectionism and procrastination seem to take turns running the show, leaving you feeling stuck and exhausted.

You pride yourself on being smart, maybe even an intellectual, yet it feels like you’re spinning your wheels. That lingering sense of shame and worthlessness reappears no matter how much progress you think you’ve made. Trauma from the past seems to have built a cage around your potential, keeping you from truly moving forward. It’s hard not to wonder—is this all there is to life?

Here’s how I can help…

The journey to healing is best traveled together, not alone. The pain you feel comes from deeply rooted beliefs, but here’s the truth—beliefs can change. Together, we’ll work to rewrite the narrative that has kept you trapped for so long.

Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Psychology, and EMDR, we’ll uncover the patterns and experiences that have shaped your thinking. We’ll challenge the shame, address the trauma, and create space for you to feel genuinely good about yourself and your future.

You don’t have to keep fighting this battle alone. Let’s work together to break the cycle and help you step into the life you deserve. Your better self is waiting, and I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

If you feel like…

It’s like a never-ending treadmill, these racing thoughts. Every time I try to slow down, I’m right back at full speed, lost in memories I can’t escape. I don’t know if tonight will be any different, but I just wish I could sleep without my mind running through everything again.

Every day is harder than the last, flashback after flashback until I’m exhausted. I try not to think about it, but the questions are always there, pulling me under. Why doesn’t he love me? How could he do that? Am I ever enough for anyone? I feel like I’m sinking in an ocean of pain, trying to keep my head above water.

And tomorrow—tomorrow, I have to see people and pretend like it’s all okay. The thought alone makes me anxious. I wish I could just escape it all, even for a day. Maybe I’ll try going to the gym in the morning, though it’s hard to feel like it matters anymore. And then there’s my mom—why couldn’t I have been enough for her? Why didn’t she see me?

Most days, I feel invisible, even in a house full of people. I try to be proud of my daughter, to show her that she matters, but I feel like I’m failing her too. I just want to be the mother I never had. And yet here I am, still feeling so alone.

Here’s how I can help…

I want you to know: it doesn’t have to feel this way forever. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to go through it alone. I understand how overwhelming these feelings are, and together, we can work through them one step at a time.

My approach is centered on compassion and empathy, creating a safe space where you can unpack the weight you’ve been carrying. We’ll work on practical tools for managing anxiety and building self-worth and address the painful experiences that still hold you back. Change is possible, and with support, you can begin to see a path forward—to feel empowered, to find peace, and to reconnect with the parts of you that deserve healing.

You don’t have to carry this alone. Call today and let’s walk this path together

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions when starting your therapy journey.

Get Started

What can I expect during my first therapy session?

Your first session is primarily about getting to know you and your therapist. You’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve.

How long will therapy take?

The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and individual needs. Some clients find short-term therapy beneficial (a few months), while others may engage in longer-term therapy for more complex issues.

How often are sessions scheduled?

Sessions are typically scheduled weekly at first, then adjusted based on your progress and therapist’s recommendation.

What types of therapy do you offer?

We offer individual therapy, family therapy, couples therapy and specialized EMDR trauma therapy.

How do I choose the right therapist?

Finding the right therapist involves considering their expertise, approach, and how comfortable you feel with them on a personal level. It’s okay to schedule initial consultations with a few therapists to find the best match.

Do you accept insurance?

Out-of-Network Insurance Benefits

While we do not directly accept insurance, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits. This means that if your insurance plan includes these benefits, you may still be eligible for partial reimbursement for the cost of your sessions. To use out-of-network benefits, you typically pay for the session upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance provider. We can provide you with a detailed invoice or “superbill” containing all necessary information for you to seek reimbursement. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage, including deductible and reimbursement rates. Please use the search tool from Mentaya to quickly check if you have Out of Network benefits with your insurance plan.

Out-of-Pocket Payment

We offer the option to pay for sessions out-of-pocket. This approach provides the benefit of increased privacy, as no diagnosis or treatment details are shared with insurance companies. We accept various forms of payment, including credit/debit cards, checks, and cash. If cost is a concern, we also offer a sliding scale fee based on your financial situation. Please discuss this option with us if you have any questions or need financial accommodations.
