My clients are individuals or couples who feel stuck in cycles of resistance, conflict, or self-judgment. They may be navigating major transitions, struggling with control, or longing for deeper connection in their relationships. Often they want to move beyond old patterns, release shame, and live more authentically. At the heart of their goals is a desire for wholeness—reclaiming agency, safety, and presence in both their inner and outer worlds.

I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, trauma/PTSD, addiction, chronic illness/pain, and chronic stress. I support those who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected to feel safe in their bodies, release long-held tension patterns, shift limiting beliefs, and step into a more grounded, confident version of themselves. Using Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, Gestalt/IFS, and mindfulness-based therapies, I help restore nervous system balance, release chronic stress, and foster mind-body awareness and emotional well being. I integrate a relational focus on attachment and relationship patterns to deepen healing.

I offer somatic trauma therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), sex therapy, and psychedelic therapy for people working through trauma, shame, grief, and sexual issues. If you’ve struggled to feel fully seen in therapy—or felt pressure to self-edit just to get support—this space is different. My style is warm, gentle, and rooted in the body. Together we slow down, listen inward, and help your system release old patterns of tension, fear, and disconnection. Healing happens when you feel safe enough to experience your emotions fully, without judgment or performance.

Does it feel like managing your inner world takes a ton of energy and effort? This is a common struggle that clients bring to me. Many are self-reflective and curious, yet still wrestle with anxiety, body image challenges, or difficulty finding safety in their body or security in relationships. I often hear, “I know how I want to show up and feel, but I don’t know why it feels so hard to do so,” or notice that even with awareness, the same patterns keep showing up. Together we work on sustainable change: steadiness inside, deeper self-trust, greater ease in the face of challenge, and relationships that feel supportive and nourishing

Transformation only happens in relationship. The absence of a relational home for transformation generally leads to superficial temporary changes. We make ourselves stuck by building walls of protection around us, which probably made perfect sense at the time. However, walls of protection eventually become walls of constriction. These walls lead us to the illusion of having no choices in our situation, to the belief that life is happening to us, instead of what is true, that we are living our lives and making choices of how we live life.

You need a sense of direction but you have a hard time making decisions, you are not sure what you truly want, and what your gifts and talents are; hence you feel disconnected from a sense of purpose. You are not sure if you have trauma from the past that is holding you back or if something else is going on. You have been identifying patterns that hold you back, that find yourself in situations that are sucking your energy and being overall detrimental, but you don’t know how to get out of them.

I find therapy most potent, important, and meaningful when there is a mix of: compassion, non-judgment, curiosity, and choicefulness.
From my training in Somatic Counseling/Body Psychotherapy, I make use of my own body, and body-based (somatic-) tracking, applied moment-to-moment with clients. Sometimes this may look like noticing the breath, or bringing attention to feelings & sensations, when something—that may have been stowed psychically out-of-sight yet not out-of-reach—shifts.
There are many further toolboxes of somatic (and other!) keys that expand the range, and richness, of what therapy together—beyond talk—can include.

How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
