Therapy for overthinking, feeling stuck, & navigating change

Something needs to change. You’re just not sure what—or how.

 You may be caught in overthinking, struggling through a difficult transition, feeling emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected, or repeating a pattern that insight alone has not changed. I help adults understand what is keeping them stuck, reconnect with what they feel and need, and develop a meaningful way forward. 


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania with more than a decade of experience helping adults address anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, relationship difficulties, chronic illness, and concerns associated with significant life changes. 


You do not need the whole map—or complete certainty—to begin.

Does This Resonate with You?

  • You cannot stop analyzing every possible outcome. 
  • You understand your pattern but keep repeating it. 
  • You feel emotionally overwhelmed, numb, disconnected, or unlike yourself. 
  • You know something needs to change but cannot identify the next step. 
  • You feel caught between what others need and what you need. 
  • You want to move forward, but part of you fears what change may cost. 
  •  Midlife, health, caregiving, perimenopause, or menopause has affected your mood, relationships, identity, or sense of self. 

Concerns I Help Adults Address

 

  • Anxiety, excessive worry, and overthinking 
  • Depression, loss of motivation, numbness, or disconnection 
  •  Trauma-related concerns and recurring protective patterns  
  • Grief, ambiguous loss, and caregiver stress 
  • Perfectionism, self-criticism, and over-responsibility 
  • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties 
  • Chronic illness and health-related adjustment 
  • Identity, role, and significant life transitions 
  •  Emotional and mental-health concerns during perimenopause and menopause 

An Integrated Approach, Guided by the BRIDGE Framework

 Feeling stuck can happen for different reasons. Sometimes worry, rumination, perfectionism, avoidance, or the search for certainty keeps a problem going. At other times, trauma, relationship injuries, deeply held emotional beliefs, or protective responses may make change feel unsafe.


I organize therapy through the BRIDGE Framework, a flexible process that helps us understand what is happening, develop greater steadiness, explore what may be holding the difficulty in place, clarify what matters, and create a meaningful way forward.


Depending on what you need, our work may draw from cognitive, metacognitive, interpersonal, experiential, trauma-informed, and body-informed approaches. BRIDGE is not a separate therapy technique or rigid sequence—it provides a collaborative structure for choosing the type and depth of work that fits you.
