You want something to change, but it's hard to imagine that anything could truly help or that anyone could truly understand.
You might be saying to yourself, “Why can’t I just stop replaying that conversation in my head?” or “It feels like I’m walking on eggshells all the time.” Your body feels tense, your mind races with a never-ending stream of “what-ifs,” and even in the quietest moments, there’s a persistent hum of anxiety that won’t let go.
Or maybe it's this: “I try to be present, but my mind is miles ahead, anticipating what could go wrong.” The weight of expectations, the urge to keep everyone happy even at your own expense, is relentless. “Why do I always end up second-guessing myself, doubting my worth, wondering if I’m ever enough?”
For some, it’s the endless loop of obsessive thoughts and compulsions that takes over. “I know this fear doesn’t make sense, but what if I don’t check one more time and something bad happens?” The doubt feels unbearable, the need for certainty overwhelming, and even when you try to resist, OCD convinces you that relief only comes if you give in, just one more time. But one more time is never enough.
And then there’s that thought that sneaks in during quieter moments: “Am I too broken to be helped? Is this just how life is going to be?”
You may feel stuck, caught in a loop of trying to slow down and find relief, but not knowing where to start or how to truly change things. Therapy can be the compassionate space where healing begins, not just with talking, but with learning to tune into what your body and mind need most.

Somatic and Embodiment Practices: We’ll work to reconnect you with your body, transforming that sense of tension into awareness. You’ll learn to recognize and release the physical responses that accompany anxiety and past trauma, giving your body and mind space to breathe. This creates a foundation for connecting more deeply with yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you.
Exposure Response Prevention: OCD keeps pulling you back into the same exhausting cycle? Together, we’ll gently approach the thoughts and situations that trigger anxiety, allowing you to face them without relying on compulsions for relief. This process helps retrain your brain, so instead of feeling stuck, you can build confidence, regain control, and live life on your own terms.
Somatic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Somatic CBT): Together, we’ll blend cognitive techniques with body awareness, identifying those recurring thoughts—“I’m not good enough,” “They’re going to leave,”—and learn how to gently challenge them. You’ll find a new narrative that empowers and aligns mind and body, enhancing your ability to trust your intuition and build resilience.
Brainspotting and EMDR: If you've ever felt that “I can’t move past this memory” moment, these trauma-focused therapies allow us to process and let go, so the past stops holding you hostage. As you work through these moments, you’ll discover that intuitive connection to yourself and find the space to embrace every part of yourself.
Relational and Intuitive Work: Do you often wonder, “Why can’t I feel safe with the people I care about?” We’ll explore those patterns, rebuilding your ability to trust and fostering relationships that feel genuine and supportive. This process strengthens your intuitive awareness, helping you recognize the connection between your inner world and your interactions with those around you.
