People Stuck In Their Heads
Virtual therapy available across Connecticut.
"You get to write your own script."
- Amy Van Buren, Ph.d.
Your mind has become a hard place to live…
Your brain works overtime, thinking that if you just analyze hard enough, you’ll finally unlock the right answer that sets you free. Instead, you end up mentally wrung out, confused, and convinced something must be “wrong with you” because you can’t stop spiraling.
One text goes unanswered, or your coworker's tone feels off at the morning meeting, and suddenly, you’ve crafted an entire 10-episode drama about why they’re pulling away. You replay conversations, predict disasters, and “future-trip” your nervous system into exhaustion.
Using your brain like it’s a crystal ball is burning you out.
Picture responding to life confidently, instead of mentally catastrophizing every possible outcome.
You trust yourself again, rather than getting yanked around by every “what if” your mind throws at you.
Your body feels calmer in the moments that used to tighten you into a knot.
And from that steadier place, you start living from intuition and clarity instead of fear and overanalysis.
Life feels lighter, more doable, and far less like a mental emergency over every unexpected glance or misstep.
Why me?
I’m here to help you do more than quiet your thoughts. I help you uncover the script you’ve been living by. The beliefs, fears, and assumptions you picked up long before you had a say.
Together, we look at where that script keeps taking over, fueling spirals, and convincing you the past is still happening.
Then we map out your actual goals, the life you want to be living, and the version of you that feels grounded, confident, and clear. My job is to help you get back in control of your inner world.
Who this type of therapy is for:
◆ Those who can’t stop replaying that awkward text or argument over and over in their head.
◆ Adults who still feel stuck in endless worries, self-consciousness, or insecurities.
◆ People who feel trapped in endless “what if” scenarios about work, relationships, or life in general.
◆ Anyone exhausted by the constant mental loops that leave them anxious, frustrated, or stuck.
◆ Those ready to finally stop spinning their wheels and start creating real movement in their lives.

This work blends mindfulness, grounding, thought awareness, nervous system regulation, and building emotional tolerance.
Instead of forcing your thoughts to stop, we help you understand them, step outside of them, and create more space between you and your mental patterns.
