There are times when you do your best to hold it all together, yet inside it feels like too much. You might be thoughtful, capable, and reflective, yet still feel like something’s weighing you down. Maybe you move through the world with a smile while quietly bracing against anxiety or pushing aside painful emotions. Maybe it feels heavier—like shame, self-doubt, or carrying too much. You might be navigating a major life transition, longing for meaningful connection, or simply wanting more space to breathe. That longing itself can be a starting point. I work with individuals and couples ready to do the deep work toward change.
Often my clients are self-aware, yet still feel held back by old ways of coping or painful echoes of earlier relationships. I specialize in somatic and attachment-focused approaches (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, AEDP, parts work) to help you turn insight into real change and create new possibilities in how you relate to yourself and others.
My style is attuned, engaged, and collaborative. I’m LGBTQIA+-allied and work with folks of all identities. Together we'll focus on helping you feel more present, connected, and at home in yourself, so you can experience real relief and lasting change. If this resonates with you, I welcome you to reach out to schedule a free consultation.

I use psychodynamic and somatic approaches, particularly Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and AEDP. Sessions might involve thoughtful conversation, tracking what's happening in the moment, or using gentle experiments to explore emotional patterns as they show up. I work relationally and experientially, helping clients connect more deeply to themselves—not just in theory, but in felt, meaningful ways.
