How I Work

In therapy, you have the opportunity to become deeply familiar with yourself. Both the stories you tell, and the lived experience of your own nervous system become terrain to explore. Whether it’s the parts of you that you’re proud of or the parts you’ve learned to hide, every layer is welcome here. My role is to listen deeply and offer a space where you can gently untangle the knots that no longer serve you, making room for a more expansive way of living.

Beyond Talk Therapy

Traditional therapy often stops at thoughts and emotions. My work goes further, treating the body as a doorway to the unconscious. By noticing subtle cues - tension, breath, and posture - we can access deeper patterns that "talking it out" alone often misses.

Our sessions become a bridge between your mind and your body. We look at how your nervous system responds to the world in real-time, allowing you to move out of old, automatic loops and regain a genuine sense of choice in how you show up.

Patterns are Strategies, Not Flaws

Humans are wired for connection and safety. From a young age, we adapt to our environment by masking, shrinking, overachieving, or numbing. These aren’t flaws; they were your body’s brilliant survival strategies.

However, over time, these same strategies can turn into the "stuckness" of self-doubt, people-pleasing, or emotional exhaustion. Therapy helps loosen the grip of these patterns so you can speak without hesitation, rest without shame, and trust yourself without second-guessing.

A Partnership for Change

I am here to hold a compassionate space, but I am also here to help you make real change in your life. I will look for opportunities to gently challenge the stories that keep you restricted and help you hold yourself accountable to the life and relationships you actually want.

My approach is an integrated blend of Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Jungian analysis. Together, we work to expand your range, moving you toward a life where you are no longer just reacting, but truly participating.
