We are all wired for healing. No matter what you have gone through emotionally or physically, if given the right conditions, your body is designed to heal itself. I believe one of the most important conditions is maintaining safe, supportive relationships, which starts with finding the right therapist. We may be a fit if you would like to understand your inner world more deeply, discover your personal connection to spirituality, figure out what you really want in life, learn to take better care of yourself, or heal your relationship through couples therapy.
If you feel like you give so much and it is never good enough, it can lead to anxiety, chronic pain or illness, burnout, depression, and despair. It can also impact your closest relationships. You do not need to feel this way. My goal for my clients is to regain a sense of ease, purpose, and vitality and to maintain healthy connections.
Healing happens when all our systems are working in harmony, which is why my approach incorporates parts work (mind), somatic interventions (body), and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (spirit). With couples, I borrow from attachment theory, Gottman, and EFT. If my approach resonates with you, I offer a free phone consultation. I would love to hear from you!

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed with life. Whether it be because of neurodivergence, chronic illness, or "people-pleasing," they give a lot. I help my clients find peace through prioritizing themselves, setting boundaries, and developing their own voice and intuition.

I often use somatic interventions in session. This can look like guiding you to focus on physical sensations, which hold wisdom related to your psychology. Over time, this process allows you to befriend "uncomfortable" feelings, making them more tolerable. Reconnecting with your body will also enhance your intuition and guide you to your true desires and purpose.
