Feeling Stuck? Here's How We Can Work With That Together

When people tell me they feel stuck, it usually comes with shame or self-blame: "I should know what to do by now" or "Why can’t I just move forward?" But what if feeling stuck isn’t a problem to fix—but a signal to listen to?

In our therapy work together, we’ll explore that feeling with curiosity—not judgment. Gestalt therapy helps us slow down and notice what’s happening right now. Instead of overanalyzing or trying to force clarity, we experiment. What happens in your body when you speak that thought out loud? What sensations arise when you stay with the tension instead of avoiding it?

Through somatic and bioenergetic approaches, I’ll guide you in tuning into your body’s cues—especially the ones you’ve learned to ignore. Sometimes there’s an impulse to move, to cry, to exhale deeply. We follow those threads, letting your nervous system release what’s been held in for too long.

With mindfulness-based and Zen-informed practices, we create space to just be with what’s real—without rushing for answers. Sometimes clarity doesn’t come through thinking harder, but by softening into presence.

We might also work with inner child and attachment-focused techniques, connecting the stuckness in your present to unmet needs or old protective patterns. As we build awareness, we begin to meet those needs differently—rooted in compassion, not self-criticism.

Whether you're navigating identity, burnout, a life transition, or just feeling like you're on autopilot, I offer an integrative, queer-affirming, trauma-informed space where your full self is welcome. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

If something in this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. Let’s see if working together might support you in finally moving forward—from the inside out.
