If you find yourself caught in difficult thoughts, emotions, reactions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. My role is to help you gently loosen what’s keeping you there, so that clarity, vitality, and a greater sense of ease can emerge. In a collaborative and focused practice borrowing from Rogerian and experiential paradigms, I hope to provide a space from which hope and change can emerge..
I have experience working with a range of difficulties including anxiety, worry, guilt, regret, shame, resentment, grief, depression, heartbreak, trauma, perfectionism, panic, self-worth, chronic pain, self-consciousness, jealousy, interpersonal difficulties, urges and cravings.
If my professional style sounds like it could work for you, please feel free to reach out.

I work experientially and phenomenologically, helping clients explore their present emotional and bodily experience. Through somatic awareness and inquiry, we uncover the emotional learnings that make current difficulties feel necessary. Lasting change begins with awareness—we can only transform what we know.

While I adapt my approach to each person, my core training is in Coherence Therapy, a gentle, emotion-focused method using the brain's natural capacity for change (memory reconsolidation). In warm, unhurried sessions we slow down, turn toward what you're feeling, and trace painful patterns back to where they first made sense, letting new, lived experience update them.
