If you sense that something in your life needs care or change, even if you can’t yet put it into words, we could work together to explore what that might be. What leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, out of touch with your body, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? While you might be navigating stress, loss, grief, a life transition, or a longing to understand yourself more deeply, I'd like to offer you a space where you can slow down, feel heard and seen, and explore what’s happening without pressure to fix things quickly, so you can feel more at home in yourself and in your relationships.
My work is grounded in humanistic, integrative, and body psychotherapy. Your lived experience is central as I draw from different therapeutic ideas to support you as a whole person. With a body–mind focus, sessions may include talk therapy, somatic awareness or Biodynamic Massage, supporting anxiety, stress, grief, self-acceptance, and relationship patterns.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re unsure where to begin. You don’t need to have answers. I offer a warm, compassionate space to explore what’s difficult at your own pace and see if working together feels right.

You can choose between two ways of working together: 1) Talk-based psychotherapy, where you can explore what's happening for you and may include gentle body awareness, movement, or expression as needed. 2) Psychotherapy including Biodynamic Massage. It involves touch techniques (on the skin or over light clothing) done on a massage table without oils.
