I believe that life’s most challenging moments and transitions can become powerful containers for insight, change, and deeper connection to yourself. In our work together, I bring a grounded and warm presence while also being willing to move with you into more emotionally complex or tender territory when it feels right. We go at a pace that supports safety, honesty, and curiosity, rather than urgency or pressure. My hope is that our work feels like a place where you can disarm—where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or hold it all together.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy already understanding their patterns, but still feeling stuck in them. Often, there is a sense that stress, trauma, or relational experiences are not just “in the past,” but still showing up in the body, emotions, and nervous system in the present. You may notice old coping patterns getting activated in relationships, or feel like you’ve spent a long time staying attuned to others, staying in control, or putting your own needs aside.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, relational psychodynamic therapy, and expressive arts approaches. I also understand therapy through a systems-oriented and anti-oppressive lens, meaning we pay attention to how identity, culture, relationships, and larger social forces shape mental health and lived experience. Therapy is not separate from these contexts.

Rather than focusing only on insight or strategies, we work with both mind and body, including how experiences are held in the nervous system and how patterns show up in real time. Over time, this work often supports more internal steadiness, more flexibility in how you respond, and a growing sense of choice in how you relate to yourself and others. The goal is not to erase what you’ve lived through, but to help it feel less consuming and more integrated.

At the center of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationship. Being met with presence, curiosity, and steadiness can be deeply meaningful, especially in places where you’ve felt alone or misunderstood. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out.

If you’re looking for therapy that honors both depth and humanity, and works with both emotional experience and the body, I would be honored to work with you.
