Therapy to Get Unstuck

Making space for what’s waiting to emerge

Many of my clients come to therapy already self-aware and intentional about their growth. They’ve done work before, understand themselves well, and still find themselves stuck. Maybe it’s in a relationship, a transition, a pattern that keeps repeating, or a choice that feels impossible to make.


On the surface, the answers can look “obvious.” People around you may have plenty of advice. You may even know what needs to change. And still, something inside doesn’t move. You might long for something and fear it at the same time… love someone deeply and resent them just as much… want change while clinging to what feels safe and familiar. Real life is rarely simple.


These seasons can feel exhausting—like pressing the gas and the brake at once. You’re trying to move forward while another part of you is asking for attention, care, or protection.


I don’t see these “stuck places” as failures, but as meaningful signals. They often carry important information—pointing toward parts of the Self that have been ignored, silenced, overprotected, or waiting to emerge. Together, we slow down and listen to your inner world rather than forcing quick fixes. As we listen in this way, what once felt stuck can begin to shift. New meaning and possibility emerge, opening space for a truer version of you to step forward.
