I use IFS, somatic therapy, EFT, CBT, and DBT, tailored to your nervous system, at your pace.
You may look like you are managing but inside you feel exhausted, disconnected, or carrying a grief nobody around you fully understands.

With a foundation rooted in Relational Gestalt psychotherapy and the support of Brainspotting, my role as an enlightened witness supports you as you feel your feelings, strive to make sense of how you approach the world around you, and proceed on your healing journey. I work from an embodied approach to support you as you explore your difficulties, past and/or present, that you may struggle to verbalize.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply not like yourself lately. Perhaps you're navigating relationship or family challenges, struggling with self-esteem, experiencing grief, or facing a major life transition. You might be someone who appears to have everything together while quietly carrying a lot inside. I work with adults and young adults who want a safe space to understand what they're feeling, recognize patterns that may be holding them back, and develop healthier ways of coping, communicating, and moving forward.

I provide experiential, relational therapy that supports people in exploring the deeper patterns and experiences that can make it difficult to feel connected, grounded, and fully themselves. My areas of specialization include trauma, neglect, grief, dissociation, attachment, and substance use. As a queer therapist, I also support queer and questioning folks in navigating identity, oppression, and moving toward lives that feel more open, authentic, and joyful. I also provide supervision and consultation to therapists looking to deepen their work in these areas.

You’re used to handling pressure, staying composed, and getting the job done — but lately the stress isn’t shutting off. If you’re a first responder, healthcare professional, or high-responsibility individual, you may be dealing with anxiety, burnout, or the cumulative impact of trauma exposure. This can look like replaying work after shift, difficulty sleeping, irritability at home, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Sessions with me are collaborative and focused on real-world strategies that you can apply to all areas of your life.

Hi, are you feeling alone? lost? overwhelmed? anxious? Life can feel heavy when anxiety, burnout or old memories pull you away from the person you hoped to be. You may feel caught between expectations and your true self, trying to quiet a chaos no one else sees. You’re not alone. Many move through the world carrying unspoken stories- childhood wounds, loss, heartbreak, moments that shaped us in ways we didn’t choose. Overtime, these hidden burdens grow louder, asking to be seen, heard and held with care. I’m here to walk with you as you pause, reflect and rebuild your spirit and welcome your inner self. Life can be hard, I hear you.

Many men carry stress, pressure, and emotional weight without talking about it. On the outside, you may appear capable or “fine,” while internally feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. You may struggle with overthinking, burnout, relationship difficulties, low motivation, or feeling like you’ve lost direction. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s keeping you stuck, identify unhelpful patterns, and build practical strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.

In my practice I offer a variety of relational, somatic, psychotherapeutic and cognitive approaches individualized to you and your goals.
The 13th century Persian poet Saadi says: "Human Beings are members of a whole, in creation of one essence and soul, if one member is inflicted with pain, other members uneasy will remain". To me this reflects our interconnectivity as human beings. With this I place emphasis on healing from past experiences as essential to connecting with our authentic self.

I offer psychotherapy using approaches that may include solution-focused therapy, somatic therapy, mindfulness practices, and the Gottman Method for couples.
If stress has been feeling overwhelming, your relationship feels distant or strained, or past experiences are still affecting how you feel today, therapy may offer a place to slow down and make sense of what is happening.
You may feel stuck in familiar patterns, emotionally drained, disconnected from yourself or others, or unsure how to move forward.
Together, we can explore what brings you to therapy, understand the patterns shaping your experiences, and consider practical and reflective approaches that fit your needs, and goals.

Have you ever wondered why life seems harder for you than it does for everyone else? You may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that don't make sense. Perhaps you've spent years masking, people-pleasing, pushing through burnout, or wondering why things that seem easy for others take so much effort for you. For many women, these struggles can be connected to past experiences or trauma, the pressures of parenting, unrecognized neurodivergence, and the weight of societal, familial, and personal expectations.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
