I believe that life’s most challenging moments and transitions can become powerful containers for insight, integration, and catharsis. I bring a warm and generally buoyant presence to therapy, while also being unafraid to move into deeper emotional terrain with you. Together, we gently explore what may be keeping you stuck, in order to make more space for the life you know, at a felt level, you deserve to be living.

My hope is that our work together feels like a place where you can disarm—where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or hold it all together. I offer a grounded space designed with you in mind and shaped by what we decide together will be most helpful.

Many of my clients come to therapy with a sense that stress and emotion have quietly settled in their bodies and nervous systems. Often, there’s an understanding of where these patterns came from, paired with frustration that insight alone hasn’t created lasting change. You may notice that current experiences activate older ones, or feel that you’re finally safe enough to begin addressing what was previously pushed aside. If you’ve spent years holding things together, attuning to others, or managing your own needs to keep the peace, you’re not alone.

Clinically, I understand mental health symptoms through the lens of how the past lives in the present, shaping how we relate, regulate, and make meaning. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from EMDR, parts-based work, somatic awareness, and relational psychodynamic psychotherapy. Rather than focusing solely on insight or coping strategies, we work directly with the nervous system and relational patterns that hold survival responses in place. As this work deepens, many clients find themselves feeling more grounded, less reactive, and more connected to themselves—with greater choice, flexibility, and self-trust. The goal isn’t to erase the past, but to loosen its grip on your present.

At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationship. I’ve seen and experienced firsthand, how being met with steadiness, curiosity, and genuine presence can be deeply reparative, especially in places where you once felt unseen or alone. There is room here for complexity, humor, grief, and the moments we don’t plan for that sometimes end up mattering most.

If you’re seeking therapy that equally honors both your depth and your tenderness, and that works with the body as much as the mind, I would be honored to work with you.
