Find clarity
“Why can’t I figure it out already?”
You’re smart, creative, and motivated. Problem-solving and complex thinking are among your strengths, and you’re used to performing at a high level. You’re skilled at pinpointing an issue, breaking it down, and working through it in pretty short order.
So why can’t you solve what’s plaguing you emotionally? Why do you keep running in the same circles or falling into the same habits, even when you know it’s not serving you? What gives?
It may be hard to believe, but our most troubling habits and patterns began as strategies that once helped us deal with challenging or even dangerous circumstances. The difficulties that feel burdensome to you now—rumination, self-defeating behaviors, problematic relationship dynamics, stubborn emotional patterns—actually helped you survive in the past. And because they helped you survive, it takes more than just understanding and willpower to unravel them. It takes deeper work that engages the body as well as the mind.
However exhausting or distressing, the issues you struggle with were once the most adaptive solutions your mind and body could find to painful or traumatizing situations. They may be confusing or paradoxical, but they can make sense. And together, we can find your way through them.

Get unstuck
Feel more ease, balance, and purpose
We learn a lot over the course of a lifetime, some of it conscious and some of it very unconscious. Therapy is where we can examine what you’ve absorbed or taken on and tap into your strengths and innate wisdom to evolve or release what isn’t serving you anymore. There are legit reasons why you feel tangled up, and investigating the cognitive, emotional, somatic, and environmental factors that brought you here lights the path towards getting untangled.
