I work with adults and teens navigating trauma, burnout, identity, and the particular exhaustion of being a sensitive person in a fast-changing world. My work goes beyond talk therapy to build a flexible nervous system, helping to regulate it, reduce symptoms of trauma, and build resilience.

Many of the people I work with are doing everything right on paper. They are the ones who keep showing up, holding it together, being the person everyone else leans on. And they are exhausted in a way that is hard to explain to the people around them. They worry they are making the wrong choices or that everyone else has it together.

I offer somatic, depth-oriented therapy that works with your whole system. Using Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and depth psychology, we'll slow down enough to hear what your body and nervous system have been trying to tell you.

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and learn about your goals. There’s no right or wrong way to arrive. Each session is about creating a sense of safety and grounding, so your system knows it doesn’t have to perform or get it “right.” This is your space, and it unfolds at your pace.

At its core, somatic therapy is about helping you come home to yourself. It’s not about “fixing” you, but about creating the conditions for your body, mind, and heart to reconnect in a way that feels supportive and alive. Over time, people often find that they feel more resilient, more grounded, and more able to meet life’s challenges with clarity.
