Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what’s next? I help thoughtful, sensitive people find clarity, connection, and a way forward that feels right for them. You might be someone who overthinks, questions yourself often, or feels like you’re in a transition—no longer who you were, but not quite sure who you’re becoming. In our work, we slow things down and listen more closely—to your body, your emotions, and your intuition. Together, we move from self-doubt toward trust, and toward a way of living that feels more aligned, creative, and easeful.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We talk about why you're here - not just what's painful but what you're longing for, how life might feel if things were more settled, more alive, more you. You’ll leave with clarity about your priorities and a sense of what a more settled life feels like. We get to know one another at your pace without rushing into trauma. It's important that trust comes first. We will go over confidentiality and safety to set the container.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My work blends depth and practicality: we explore patterns, attachment, grief, and the meaning behind your experiences, while also strengthening your ability to notice what’s happening in your body in real time. I draw from somatic and relational frameworks to support integration rather than just insight — because insight without embodiment rarely creates lasting change. The result isn’t becoming a different person; it’s becoming more regulated, more discerning, and more fully yourself.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

The Seeker in the In-Between — For those feeling lost, in transition, or unsure what’s next You’re naming wants, building gentle boundaries, and moving toward a rooted, spacious life. The Intentional Achiever — For those carrying pressure, burnout, or chronic over-functioning You’re used to over-functioning. Together, we move from pressure to purpose; from spiraling to responding. The Sensitive Creative — For those blocked creatively, overwhelmed by emotion, or struggling to express themselves Your body and art hold more than words can carry. We shape your inner world so play and creativity can return. The Boundary-Builder — For those learning to assert themselves or navigate difficult relationships You’re learning voice + choice. We practice rupture and repair, letting relationships become more mutual and clear. The Community Re-Builder — For those feeling disconnected, isolated, or out of sync with old circles You’ve outgrown old circles. We work from the inside out so you can find—or build—communities that actually fit. The Deep Processor (Family & Grief) — For those navigating grief, family stress, or unresolved emotional patterns We sit with sensations and story. We make room for anger and love at the same time, helping your body hold both. If any of this resonates, I’d love to meet you and explore what’s possible together.

My treatment methods

Somatic

We notice sensation, pendulate when intensity rises, and re-orient to the here-and-now to build capacity. (Somatic Experiencing)

Narrative

We separate you from the problem (“I deal with…”), creating room for voice and choice.

Motivational Interviewing

Thoughtful, reflective questions help you hear yourself and choose next steps that fit.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

When thought loops take over, we gently reality-test and practice kinder interpretations.

Experiential Therapy

Art, writing, and dreamwork move what words alone can’t—inviting creativity and life-force back online.
