Great to meet you!

You’re the one who holds it all together. On paper it’s working — the career, the relationships, the discipline. Underneath, you’re anxious, tired, and disconnected. Intellect, stamina, perfectionism and people-pleasing may have gotten you far — but now its part of a pattern that keeps you stuck.

I see driven, self-aware adults who are often the most capable person in the room despite (and because of) their bodies holding patterns of high-functioning anxiety, trauma, and depression.

The pattern lives within your nervous system — so this work includes the mind, body, and environment. Yes, we will explore your patterns & why they exist, AND we’ll notice them in your body, in real time. Coherence, parts work, Brainspotting, ART, EFT- different tools, one principle: change consolidates through experience, not just explanation.

My approach to therapy

I help folks get into a space and state where they can experience real change. The tools to get there are different for everyone. Relational and depth therapy, Somatics, parts-work (IFS), Brainspotting, ART, DBR, I-CBT, ACT... all the acronyms.

What you can expect from me

I'm a little serious, little silly, and always curious. I will be attuned to what you need in that moment. If what I offer isn't quite right, let's talk about it. Using our therapeutic relationship to process interpersonal dynamics offers a great opportunity to practice something a little different -- That's where change happens.
