I work with individuals and couples in California ready to prepare for matrescence, reduce conflict and strengthen relationships, and/or face parenting challenges and seeking a slower life with more meaning. Many who find me have a care identity and feel both overstimulated and isolated. Many are already "doing the work," on their own in some way, but keep falling back into old loops and struggle to feel heard. I'm here to anchor you to right now, without the story. We work with what's available today to build resiliency, communicate more effectively, create softer conflict, reparent (while parenting), and feel more connection.
The heart of my work is belonging, to yourself and others. By integrating somatic and relational approaches, in addition to skill building, I support burnout recovery, attachment work, and living with authenticity. My work is influenced by my training in EFT, perinatal mental health, yoga, and theater. I am curious, direct, actively engaged, and playful.
You don't have to slog through an exhausted life where it feels like everyone is depending on you, or spend your time endlessly scrolling alone in the dark. It is possible to find satisfaction with your life as it is, and feel connected again. When you feel safe, you can heal without intervention. When you're ready, we can slow down to untangle it, together.

With couples, we work on building communication skills, collaborative problem solving, and emotional attunement. I support Clients to have generative conflict and to accept and manage differences (sex, money, housework, parenting styles etc). Perinatally, I will have a close eye on PMAD symptoms for both parents as we look at what would best bolster you now, while also preparing for the future.

My foundational approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy, though I draw from many others as needed. There may be some sessions that are experiential and somatic (ex: having a felt sense of safety in the moment), and others may feel more practical (ex: collaborating on strategies to try at home). We will explore what's under the presenting challenges with compassion and courage. You set the pace.
