You might be feeling anxious, down, or stuck in patterns you’ve tried to change on your own. Maybe relationships feel harder than they should, whether with a partner, friends, or even with yourself. You want to feel more at ease, more connected, and less weighed down by old stress and self-doubt. You’ve probably tried different strategies, reading, meditating, pushing through, but the same struggles keep resurfacing, leaving you wanting something deeper and more lasting.
I’m here to walk alongside you, to stay present in the depths of what you’re feeling. Our work together often takes an experiential shape through EMDR, somatic and emotionally focused therapy, helping your brain and body release rigid patterns and open to more flexible. I also offer ketamine-assisted therapy for clients seeking deeper integration.
If you’ve gotten this far, something has resonated, perhaps an ember of hope. Alongside that, you may also feel fear or hesitation and of course you do. Change is often meet at the edge of what's comfortable. Reaching out is the hardest part, but you don’t have to do this alone. Don’t let that spark fade, reach out!

I help people struggling with relationships, trauma, and anxiety who feel caught in patterns that seem impossible to change. Our work goes beyond traditional talk therapy, using experiential approaches to help you process emotions, heal past wounds, and shift unhelpful patterns. Over time, most clients feel more grounded, connected, with lasting shifts that go far beyond our sessions.

I find folks respond well to therapy that is a bit more experiential approaches, I try to adapt our time together with what is working best for you. I regularly check in on how therapy is going and what we can do differently. Beyond any one treatment modal, it's the relationship between you and I that truly heals.
