You learned how to get by,
even though you were different from everyone around you.
That might be what’s keeping you stuck today.
For many people who think and feel deeply, growing up feeling “not quite like everyone else” can make it hard to know what direction is truly right—especially when it comes to work, relationships, and decisions about how you want to live.
Who this work is for
I work with people who have often felt different from those around them—people who are deep-thinking, humanistic, creative, or simply wired in a way others didn’t quite understand.
That experience can leave lasting marks:
-
you learned early to adapt to other people’s expectations
-
you became good at getting by, even when things didn’t feel right
-
you noticed more than others seemed to, and carried more as a result
-
you questioned yourself instead of trusting your own perceptions
My clients often recognize themselves in some of these:
-
feeling different or misunderstood by family or peers growing up
-
recurring anxiety or discomfort in relationships and daily life
-
self-doubt, even when you’re capable
-
uncertainty about your identity or how to honor your own needs
-
difficulty moving forward because past experiences still have a hold
I work with clients from many backgrounds and cultures, paying close attention to how your particular experiences shaped the way you learned to cope and respond.
What this work focuses on
There isn’t a single reason people feel stuck, and it doesn’t come down to one label or explanation.
What we focus on is your pattern: how your experiences have shaped the way you make decisions, relate to others, and find direction.
This work isn’t about fitting you into a theory, generalization, or label. It’s about understanding what’s been shaping you, and how that’s still influencing your choices now. We pay attention not just to what you’ve experienced, but to how you naturally think, feel, and make sense of the world.
How I work with you
I offer perspective, point out blind spots and patterns that are hard to see on your own, and help you make sense of experiences that have shaped how you think and make decisions.
The work also helps you work through and release the impact of past experiences that are still influencing how you feel and respond today. This is often the piece clients have needed most—and the one they didn’t think was possible.
As those experiences lose their hold, it becomes easier to make decisions, recognize what feels right for you, and move forward without constantly second-guessing yourself.
What this work makes possible
Over time, clients often notice changes like:
-
being clearer about what kind of life and work actually suits them
-
feeling more confident making decisions
-
having an easier time navigating relationships
-
feeling more at ease in everyday situations
-
spending less time second-guessing themselves
These changes tend to show up gradually, but they affect very real parts of daily life.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all work
This work is highly individualized, deep, and meaningful. We focus on your history, your patterns, and what has actually shaped your experience rather than applying a framework or a fixed process.
The goal isn’t to give you answers to follow, but to help you move past what’s been quietly holding you back, so your next steps feel more grounded and intentional.
