New to Grow
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified leadership coach, and founder of SOMA Inner Leadership with over a decade of experience in both mental health and high-pressure corporate environments. I work with adults, couples, and high-performing professionals who want to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and create meaningful change. My approach blends evidence-based therapy, somatic and nervous system work, and practical tools to help clients move beyond coping and into deeper, lasting transformation.
In our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive space where we begin getting to know you, what’s bringing you in, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll explore your current challenges, patterns, relationships, and stressors at a pace that feels comfortable, while also beginning to notice how these experiences may show up in both the mind and body. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and clear on how we can work together moving forward.
What stands out about my approach is that I don’t just focus on symptom relief. I help clients understand the deeper patterns driving how they think, feel, relate, and respond under stress. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with somatic and nervous system-based approaches, helping clients create change not only at the cognitive level, but in the body and in their relationships as well. Clients often leave with greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of alignment in how they live and relate.
I work best with adults and couples who may appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stressed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. I often work with high-performing professionals navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, relationship challenges, or life transitions. With a background in corporate leadership and mental health, I understand the pressures of high-achieving environments and help clients move beyond coping to do deeper work that creates meaningful, lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be contributing to distress. In my practice, CBT offers practical tools to build awareness, shift negative thinking, and develop healthier coping strategies, helping clients create meaningful changes in how they think, feel, and respond.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a parts-based, compassionate framework to help clients understand the internal patterns that shape how they think, feel, and respond under stress. This often involves identifying protective patterns such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or inner criticism and helping clients relate to them with greater awareness and curiosity rather than judgment. I often integrate IFS with somatic and nervous system-based work to support deeper healing, regulation, and lasting change.
Brainspotting
I use Brainspotting as a focused, brain-body treatment approach that helps clients process unresolved stress, trauma, and emotional experiences that may be held beneath conscious awareness. By using eye position and attunement to access deeper parts of the nervous system, Brainspotting can support processing in a way that goes beyond talk therapy, helping clients move through stuck patterns and build greater regulation and resilience.
Couples Counseling
I provide couples counseling to help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection in their relationship. My approach is warm, structured, and grounded, helping couples better understand the patterns that keep them stuck, create greater emotional safety, and develop healthier ways of relating so they can move toward a more connected and fulfilling partnership.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
use mindfulness-based therapy to help clients build greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily experiences in the present moment. This approach supports emotional regulation, reduces reactivity, and helps clients respond to life with greater clarity, self-compassion, and intention rather than operating on autopilot.
