You're smart, sensitive, and self-aware. You probably understand yourself pretty well — and yet something still feels off. Like you can see the life you want but can't quite find your way into it. I work with people like you. Thoughtful, ambitious, deeply feeling people who are ready to stop spinning and start building something that actually feels aligned. If you feel stuck, lost, or deeply frustrated with yourself - I'm the therapist for you.
My approach is a mix of depth psychology and practical solutions oriented work — we'll go deep when we need to, and we'll get concrete when that's what moves things along. I draw on EMDR, somatic therapy, Hakomi, and IFS, but mostly I follow what's actually alive in the room. I tailor my approach to uncover what works best for you.
My desire is to help you feel enlivened, connected, and empowered. Through our work, I will help you foster a more compassionate relationship with yourself, your community, and the world around you. I consider it a deep honor to be a collaborator and companion in this work. Reach out for a free 15-minute consult.

I blend pragmatic research based work with depth psychological approaches and somatic inquiry. We will examine the function of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Additionally, we use deeper work to explore and engage with unconscious parts and experiences that are needing your attention. I help folks learn grounding techniques to help during times of stress and how to respond instead of react.
