I work with sensitive, empathetic adults who are high-functioning, perfectionistic, and self-critical, often shaped by harsh or unpredictable parenting. If you appear composed but carry shame, self-criticism, or unprocessed emotions, therapy can be a space to gently explore old patterns at a pace that feels manageable and never forced. Using trauma-informed talk, somatic techniques, meditation, and interoception-building skills, we process triggers and stuck emotions. This work cultivates long-term self-compassion and embodied awareness, helping you build a grounded, lasting sense of self-worth.
Using Somatic EMDR, talk therapies, and mindfulness, we work so you can notice and regulate your nervous system, understand patterns, and cultivate self-compassion and self-worth by changing your inner narrative. As a firm believer in lasting change, I provide practical tools, homework, and resources to support your journey beyond sessions.
If you feel like you’ve hit a wall with traditional talk therapy, struggle with self-criticism or anxiety, and are open to a gentle, body-aware approach, please feel free to reach out to me.
