Great to meet you!

I help high-functioning adults who feel anxious, burned out, or overwhelmed by stress and their own nervous system. My approach blends somatic awareness with evidence-based methods so people feel understood and actually regulated, not just talked at.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, nervous-system based, and focused on helping you understand what your body and mind have been trying to manage. I don’t push people into overwhelm or force breakthroughs. Instead, we slow things down enough for your system to actually integrate change. I blend somatic practices, trauma-informed therapy, attachment work, and practical tools to help you reduce anxiety, recover from burnout, and move out of survival mode. Sessions feel steady, direct, and supportive, with a focus on building real regulation and long-term stability.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we’ll slow things down and focus on helping you feel oriented and understood. I’ll ask about what’s been bringing you in, what you’ve already tried, and how stress or overwhelm has been showing up in your body and daily life. There’s no pressure to share everything at once or to perform in any way. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling grounded, clearer about what’s happening for you, and with a sense of how we might work together moving forward.
