If you're reading this, you're probably not new to self-reflection. You're likely thoughtful and accomplished — and yet you find yourself stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, or relational disconnection that you can't "think" your way out of. Deep down, you know you want to move on, but your body and emotions feel "stuck" in old patterns. Whether it's chronic tension, people-pleasing, or feeling emotionally "on edge," these responses often persist because something deeper is usually driving the symptoms, and that's what therapy with me addresses
My approach is active, focused, and deeply engaging. As a specialist in ISTDP and Somatic intervention, I help you move beyond surface-level talk therapy to resolve the core drivers of your distress. Clients describe our work as a collaborative, "deep dive" that leads to measurable shifts in how they feel and relate to others
If you are looking for an experienced clinician who is both emotionally attuned and clinically direct, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can resolve the underlying trauma and anxiety patterns so you can live with greater clarity and ease. I invite you to reach out for a free initial consultation to see if this focused approach is right for you.
