You are aware of your thoughts and patterns. You may even understand where they came from and what you “should” do differently. So why does something still feel unresolved? Maybe you are always analyzing, while your body, emotions, or unconscious mind hold information your mind cannot always access. I help people go beneath the surface to understand the hidden parts and inner drives shaping how they move through the world. My work helps you learn the language of your body, explore what your symptoms and inner world may be communicating, and develop a deeper, more connected understanding of yourself and the way you experience life.
My approach is integrative, blending insight-oriented therapy with mind-body approaches. I draw from EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic therapy, Polyvagal Theory, mindfulness, ego-state exploration, Trauma Incident Reduction (TIR), and EFT (tapping). When/if it resonates, I weave in psychospiritual and esoteric concepts to explore healing through a different lens.
Your experiences are part of your story, leaving imprints that shape how you see yourself and move through the world. Therapy can help you move beyond the noise of the ego and reconnect with your authentic self beneath it all. My hope is to help you find the real you: the person who feels peaceful, fully alive, and able to enjoy and look forward to life.
