Stuck in the same patterns? Let’s explore what’s beneath them.

I don’t believe you need fixing. I believe you need a compassionate space to feel, tend to, and make sense of your experience in a way that brings clarity and choice.

~My Approach~

Experiential

In our work together, I won’t just ask you to talk about your experiences, we’ll also pay attention to what’s happening as you talk. That might include emotions, body sensations, or how you’re relating to me in the moment. By slowing down and being with your experience as it unfolds, we can uncover patterns that are often outside of awareness. And that’s where real change starts: when we notice what’s been stuck, give it space, and respond in new ways.

Relational

We are shaped in relationship, and we heal in relationship. Many of the patterns that cause us pain today were formed in early connections where our needs for safety, attunement, or authenticity may not have been fully met. The therapeutic relationship becomes a space where these old patterns can re-emerge. I pay close attention to what happens between us in the room: what feels safe, what pulls you closer or pushes you away. These moments offer a live glimpse into how you've learned to relate to others and to yourself. This awareness is the heart of the work.

Embodied

While our patterns often begin in relationship, they live on in the body. That’s why I pay close attention to the physical and emotional cues that arise in the room. Together, we’ll gently notice these signals, not to fix them, but to listen to what they’re trying to say. As we bring compassionate awareness to these embodied patterns, the body begins to soften its grip. This creates space for a deeper sense of presence, safety, and choice.

My approach is informed by Modern Psychoanalysis, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Transpersonal Psychology. I also like to bring in an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens. But I don’t hold any one modality too tightly, as I let my clients’ unique needs and preferences guide the work.

Issues I Treat

I work with 18+ adults of any gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, neurotype and spiritual/religious identity.

  • Anxiety & panic

  • Depression

  • Low self-esteem

  • Grief and loss

  • Crises of meaning, purpose, or identity

  • Perfectionism & people-pleasing

  • Attachment injury

  • Emotional dysregulation & self-harm

  • Relationship issues

  • Developmental trauma (C-PTSD)

Sometimes our struggles don’t fit neatly into any one category, or we just feel off without knowing why. That’s okay. You don’t need to have it all figured out for us to begin. We can explore what’s beneath the surface and move toward greater clarity together.

I tend to work well with people who…

  • are seekers, artists, perfectionists, or caretakers who long for more ease and authenticity.

  • may have grown up in environments where emotional needs weren’t fully seen or met.

  • feel things deeply, are highly sensitive, and are learning to make space for all parts of themselves.

“We don’t so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.”
