Great to meet you!

I started therapy at age 15 and knew I wanted to be a therapist. Due to decades of intimate access to therapy at such a young age, I had the support to orient myself towards a healthy active people-focused life. After pursuing international travel to over 37 countries (mostly by bicycle), the depth of understanding around the human condition and the features of internal control became far more pronounced and trusted for me.

I am not a therapist who only offers relief, however relief is the first to come. I am a therapist who offers support to liberate oneself from the somatic pain we experience locked in our bodies from the past, so we do not have to continue to have the rug pulled out from under us. Most of my clients have had years of therapy, have plateaued, and do not know where to go from there. Most of my clients have reservations about returning to therapy based on their previous experience. This makes sense.

If you are looking for long-term results, unique detailed practices to increase internal intimacy, and the ability to gain agency in moments where you were unable to previously, let's get a session on the calendar to see if we can be a good fit.

My approach to therapy

When you feel sad, where do you feel it? In your brain? Sensations we feel from emotions are rarely felt in our brain; we feel these sensations in our body through our nervous system. My specialty is bridging the gap between your body and brain, so you can actually FEEL your progress instead of just thinking it. Don't know why you plateaued in past therapy? This is why. Come hang in my world for long-term relief.

Move to expand your sphere of control. Attach body sensations to emotions and give them a microphone, so they have a voice at the table. Integrate this new body/Self trust and breathe agency into behavior and routines. If humans could be in control all of the time, I wouldn't have a job. No one would ever need a therapist. We would just control ourselves. Let's collaborate so you can increase your access to your control panel.

What you can expect from me

Our first session, we will review the informed consent and offer time for questions about the trajectory and expectations of what healthy powerful therapy looks like. Afterwards, I want to get to know you: values, beliefs, family, work, hopes, dreams, you name it. I care about you and what is important to you. This time is for YOU, and you are worth it and important enough to give yourself permission to say "YES" to yourself after years of hearing/saying the opposite. Let's get an appointment on the calendar.
