Many people come to therapy when they sense something is off but can't quite name it. Maybe it shows up as anxiety, emotional flatness, difficulty in relationships, or a persistent feeling of not being enough. These patterns often have roots deeper than thinking alone can reach. I work with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is somatic and relational, which means we work with what is happening in your body and your relationships, not just your thoughts. Many clients find they feel more grounded, more connected, and more at home in themselves.
I help adults and couples access what is happening beneath the surface. Drawing from Hakomi, Lifespan Integration, and attachment-based approaches, we work toward greater regulation, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of self. Many clients find they feel less driven by old patterns and more present in their lives.
One of the strongest predictors of meaningful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. You need to feel safe, seen, and understood. I pay close attention to attunement and collaboration, building a steady, authentic connection where real work can happen. If you are curious whether we might be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out.

I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Sessions typically involve slowing down enough to notice what is happening beneath the surface, in the body as well as the mind. Many clients find they feel less reactive, more grounded, and more connected to themselves and the people they care about.

My approach is somatic, mindfulness-based, and relational. For individuals I draw on Hakomi, Lifespan Integration, and attachment-based approaches. With couples I use PACT, Gottman Method, and Compassionate Communication. Sessions are experiential and present-focused, working with what arises in the moment rather than just talking about the past.
