You’re used to being the one who holds it together. You’ve likely spent years trying to fix what feels broken inside—through logic, discipline, or even spiritual effort. But there’s a constant churn—relentless thoughts, pressure to get things right, and a deep sense that you’re never quite safe to just be. You may have OCD, or traits of overcontrol: perfectionism, emotional inhibition, high self-criticism, and shame. And while you’ve tried therapy before, you often ended up feeling misunderstood—handed a technique when you really needed a human. You don’t need more tools. You need a space where your insides can breathe.

My work is relational, existential, and experiential. That means we slow down and make space to actually feel what’s going on—not just talk about it or fix it. Together, we explore not just your symptoms, but your story: your longings, your fears, your unspoken questions about what matters and who you are beneath the roles you’ve had to play.

I work best with people who are emotionally intelligent but relationally tired—those who’ve been strong for too long, who long for safety and realness, and who may not even know what it feels like to be fully received by another human being. In our work, we’ll honor that while gently exploring new ways of being that are more connected and more alive.

I focus on tackling the 'trance of unworthiness,' a term from Tara Brach, which speaks to that deep-seated feeling of being broken or not enough. I work closely with you, whether individually or as a couple, to find ways out of perfectionism, self-criticism, shame, and those nagging intrusive thoughts, helping you move toward a healthier, more self-accepting life.
