You’ve always been sensitive and attuned, reading the room before you read yourself. That gift kept you safe, but now it leaves you anxious, overextended, or unsure where you end and others begin. You want closeness that doesn’t cost you your self, clearer boundaries without guilt, and a steadier way to meet life. You’re ready to understand the old patterns of over-giving and perfectionism, listen to your body, and redefine your story so connection feels safe, honest, and alive. Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel, and come home to yourself.
I help sensitive, high-functioning adults unlearn survival patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and emotional over-giving. My approach is relational, somatic, and depth-oriented—helping you listen to your body, set boundaries with care, and feel safe enough to connect authentically.
Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new, it’s about remembering who you are beneath the defenses. You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone. Together, we’ll slow down, make sense of what’s been too much for too long, and help you feel more at home in yourself and your relationships. Reach out for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

My path from filmmaking to therapy began with a fascination for emotion and story. Now, as an LMFT, I help sensitive, empathic adults who learned to care for others before themselves find steadiness, boundaries, and belonging without losing their depth.

I draw from somatic, psychodynamic, and attachment-based therapy. Our work is collaborative and paced to your nervous system—focused on awareness, safety, and integration. Sessions often blend conversation with noticing sensations, emotions, and the deeper meanings beneath them.
