Capable in life. Stuck in intimacy. You manage complexity, solve problems, and show up reliably. But when relationships ask for vulnerability, emotional honesty, or staying present through conflict, you may shut down, go numb, or perform connection rather than actually feel it. Many people I work with have done talk therapy and still feel stuck. And yet remember - the goal isn't to fix you, it's to turn insight into practice—so the same patterns don't keep taking over under stress and you can stay present, choose differently, and live the life you want.
We work with the automatic reactions that sabotage connection. You'll learn to catch yourself before you shut down, name what's happening, say what you need, and repair after conflict, not just understand why you react that way. The goal isn't insight. It's staying present when relationships get vulnerable instead of disconnecting or performing.
Sometimes the issues we encounter in life are almost impossible to resolve on our own. When doing our healing work, a nurturing relationship is one of the most powerful forms of nervous system regulation there is. I've done my own healing and understand this process from the inside. I'll be in your corner as you do yours. Free consultation available.

I'm trained in trauma-focused approaches that work with how your system actually responds under stress—not just what you think about it. Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and EMDR give me tools to help you change patterns that talk therapy alone couldn't shift.

In the first session, we'll talk about what brought you here and what you want to shift. Then I'll introduce tools you can use immediately: ways to notice when you're starting to shut down, stay present when uncomfortable, and communicate what's actually happening. We'll map a clear path for change so you can track progress and stay engaged. You'll leave with practical tools, not just insight.
