You're doing fine on paper — career, relationships, responsibilities managed. But there's a gap between how things look and how they feel. Maybe it's an anxiety you can't logic your way out of, a relationship pattern that keeps repeating, or a sense that you're going through the motions. Sometimes there's a specific trigger — a relationship hitting a wall, a major life change. For some, this includes recovery — you've done the hard work of getting sober, and now you're ready to understand what was underneath it.
Together we work to get underneath the patterns — to the experiences and beliefs driving them. Using somatic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches, we work to build the self-awareness and capacity for real, lasting change — including that felt sense of "I can."
In my 20+ years of practice, I've worked at one of the country's top treatment centers, training in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, the Meadows model, and experiential and family systems work. I also completed Brené Brown's Daring Way training. If this resonates, I'd love to hear from you.

Most of my clients come to me struggling at work or in relationships — often without knowing why. We start by understanding your full history, then use EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help your nervous system release the patterns driving those struggles. Many clients notice change in areas they didn't expect.

Using EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, we work below the surface — addressing not just unhelpful thought patterns, but the emotions and body sensations driving them. Clients often find this leads to lasting change in relationships, communication, confidence, and their sense of ease at work.
