WELCOME
Happy you found your way here.
If traditional talk therapy hasn't worked and you need a new approach, body-based experiential psychotherapy can help.
Rather than trying to think your way through everything, we will make room for what you feel and experience as it unfolds. I'll bring my presence, curiosity, and honesty, and we'll pay attention to what's happening for you, and what's happening between us.
Rooted in psychodynamic theory, affective neuroscience, and interpersonal neurobiology to help you change deeply ingrained patterns, process difficult emotional experiences, and find clarity.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS
We work directly with your felt, embodied experiences
in the here-and-now to create real
transformation.
As you learn to stay present with what emerges, new emotional experiences become possible — experiences that can shift how you relate to yourself and others.
Therapy with me is collaborative. I'll bring my curiosity and honesty into the room, and we'll make sense of things together.
Sometimes that looks like talking things through. Sometimes it's quieter than that. Either way, we're in it together, and I won't push you past what you're ready for.

WHO I WORK WITH
Navigating
life-altering events,
identity changes, and processing grief
Navigating life-altering experiences that disrupt your sense of self, challenge your expectations, or require you to reconsider who you are and how you want to live.
This may include divorce, breakups, career upheaval, unexpected loss, relocation, major life changes, and periods of personal reinvention.
Working through trauma,
attachment wounds,
and recurring
relational patterns
Working through early attachment wounds, single-event trauma, PTSD, and religious or spiritual trauma that continue to shape emotional responses, relationships, and a sense of safety.
This might include childhood emotional neglect, relational trauma, medical trauma, distressing life events, spiritual abuse, and recurring attachment patterns.
Experiencing performance pressure, burnout, and
stress induced physical symptoms
For founders, creatives, and entrepreneurs, therapy will address the psychological and physiological demands of building, creating, and leading, including burnout, relationship difficulties, performance pressure, insecurity, struggles to delegate or trust others, and body-based stress responses (chronic pain, panic attacks, headaches, dissociation).
This might include chronic overworking, perfectionism, difficulty resting, fear of failure, leadership conflict, creative blocks, emotional isolation, and the strain ambition can place on relationships.
