Welcome! Whether you’re dealing with relationship difficulties, anxiety or overwhelm, struggling with self-worth or people-pleasing, wanting to heal from trauma, or aren’t even sure what the problem is or where to begin, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Maybe you have a sense of living in a kind of frozen state, or feel like you’re going through the motions of life without being fully in it. Or perhaps you’re looking for a safe person who can really get to know you and walk alongside you as you navigate the complexities of being human. If any of this feels familiar, I’m glad you’ve found your way here.

The therapy space with me is a place to slow down, tune in, and become curious about your inner world. Rather than approaching therapy with the idea that something about you needs to be fixed, I’m interested in helping you understand yourself more deeply, including the parts of you that may feel confusing, stuck, overwhelmed, or difficult to change.

I work from a somatic and attachment-based lens, which means we pay attention not only to your thoughts and the stories you tell about your life, but also to what your body and nervous system might be communicating. Together, we can explore how your early relationships and life experiences have shaped the ways you respond to stress, relate to others, and move through the world today. Many of the patterns we struggle with began as intelligent ways of adapting to the environments we found ourselves in. Our work is not to judge or force these patterns away, but to understand why they are here, cultivate compassion for the ways they have protected you, and gently create space for something new.

As this relationship with yourself deepens, you may begin to notice more choice where things once felt automatic. We can uncover strengths and resources that may have been difficult to access, build greater trust between mind and body, and expand your capacity to be present for more of life, including all of its uncertainty, beauty, grief, creativity, messiness, and joy.

I especially love the depth that becomes possible in long-term therapy. Over time, our work can become a place where you come to meet and know yourself more fully. It can be a space for the deeper “soul work” of discovering who you are underneath the patterns, expectations, and ways of being you have accumulated along the way. As I come to know you and the experiences that have shaped you, I can help reflect you back to yourself with greater context, curiosity, and compassion.

There is something meaningful about having a therapeutic relationship where you feel deeply known. You deserve to be seen by someone who understands your history, recognizes your patterns, remembers where you have been, and can accompany you through different seasons of your life. Our work doesn’t have to end when one particular problem is resolved. Therapy can also be an ongoing place to return to as you navigate relationships, life transitions, challenges, growth, and the continual process of becoming more fully yourself.

Our work together is collaborative, flexible, and responsive to what you need at any given time. Sometimes this might mean talking and making sense of what is happening in your life; other times we might slow things down and listen more closely to the body, work with imagery or creativity, explore an earlier experience, or simply stay with something that needs time and space to unfold. I draw from my training in Somatic Experiencing, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Expressive Arts Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, and Mindfulness, while allowing the work to be guided by you and your own unique process.

At the heart of my practice is a belief that we each have an inherent capacity for healing and growth, and that you are ultimately the expert in your own life. My role is not to tell you who you should become, but to offer a safe, compassionate, and inclusive relationship in which you can explore who you already are, and perhaps discover parts of yourself that have been waiting for enough safety to emerge.

I look forward to meeting you.
