I offer short-term therapy for individuals and couples in a season of change. I work most often with women, queer folks, and parents; couples trying to find their way back to each other or navigating separation or divorce; service-based professionals experiencing burnout and wanting to reimagine their business practices; and more generally adults looking for an unconventional, creative path forward. My approach is intuitive and interactive, a blend of both emotional depth work and a clear focus on desired outcomes. I draw primarily from somatic, emotion-focused and attachment-based modalities.
In practice, somatic therapy invites us to more fully inhabit our bodies by attuning to our emotions and nervous system. This is especially helpful when working through attachment wounds or other stressors, where the goal is not just to understand ourselves better but to actually feel more embodied, authentic, and at ease in our lives and relationships.
All questions are welcome—please be in touch! Email is the best way to reach me. The first session is conversational in nature and designed to help us decide if we're the right match. In all sessions, we'll move back and forth between building insight and self-awareness, somatic and emotional processing, and creative thinking and planning.
