I specialize in working with high-performing professionals navigating burnout, trauma, identity, and the particular exhaustion that comes from excelling in spaces that were never designed with you in mind. I use Somatic Experiencing to work with your nervous system directly, rather than trying to think or reframe your way out of experiences that were never primarily cognitive to begin with. You don’t need to arrive with a tidy narrative or a clear presenting problem. Many of my clients are exceptionally good at articulating what’s wrong. That’s exactly the kind of work somatic therapy is built for.
Your nervous system isn’t broken. It adapted brilliantly to environments that demanded it. High-stakes, systems that weren’t built for the way your brain works, relationships that required you to shrink or perform. The fact that those adaptations are now getting in your way doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means something worked, until it didn’t.
I adapt my approach to the way your brain works — not the other way around. That may mean more structure, more flexibility, more direct communication, less small talk, longer pauses, or a different kind of pacing altogether. You don’t need to explain or justify how you process. We figure it out together.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic work doesn't rely solely on insight or cognitive reframing to create change. That's good news for high-performers, because insight alone rarely moves the needle. We'll work directly with your body's stress response to build genuine regulation. You can expect our sessions to be structured, purposeful, and efficient. No "thinking hangover" between sessions.

I bring an explicitly feminist lens to this work. That means I treat the systems you've navigated, not just the symptoms you've developed, as clinically relevant. Burnout in a workplace that requires constant code-switching is not a personal failure. Anxiety in a high-performance culture that systematically undervalues certain kinds of minds and bodies is not a disorder in need of fixing.
