You may feel like you're always bracing for the next thing—performing to prove your worth, adapting to keep others comfortable, or giving until there's nothing left. You're stressed, shut down, or exhausted from holding it together. Maybe you're overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in patterns that once kept you safe but now limit your authenticity. You want relief, clarity, and the ability to show up fully as yourself. You're not broken—you developed survival strategies that no longer serve you. With 25 years helping adults break free from people-pleasing patterns, I'm here to help you feel more present, alive, and genuinely yourself.
I specialize in helping people-pleasers, empaths, and high-achievers with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and workplace challenges. I work particularly well with professionals and men who struggle with perfectionism, overgiving, or difficulty setting boundaries. Using somatic therapy, ACT, EMDR, and Brainspotting, I help you reconnect with your bod
Clients appreciate how I help them understand their patterns and learn body-based practices to feel safe being authentic. My approach adapts as you grow—from identifying what keeps you stuck to setting boundaries without guilt to living aligned with your values. You can feel more grounded, clear about your needs, and genuinely yourself again.
