About my approach

I’m compassionate, supportive, and collaborative. Together we’ll identify the patterns, beliefs, emotions, and body sensations that shape your day-to-day experience, then build greater internal awareness and regulation so you can live more fully and with intention.

What clients say

Clients often say they feel supported and cared for—and that they learn something new about themselves each session. We collaborate on goals, stay flexible, and keep space for honesty, humor, and joy.

Guiding idea / Point of therapy

Therapy should help you leave feeling like a stronger person with a deeper knowledge of yourself.

Tools & frameworks I use

Emotionally Focused Counples Therapy (EFCT) • Somatic / Mind–Body • EMDR • Polyvagal-Informed

What you can expect in a session with me

Expect steady collaboration and practical nervous-system tools. We’ll track thoughts, emotions, and sensations, process trauma safely (including EMDR when appropriate), and translate insights into daily practices that build resilience and authenticity.

If you’re nervous to start…

Sometimes nervousness and excitement are two sides of the same coin. Your therapist is here to help ease those nerves so you can settle in and do the work at your pace.

A belief that shapes my work

“The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.” — Thích Nhất Hạnh

Outside of therapy you’ll find me…

Scoping out farmer’s markets and diving into my latest book hyperfixation. I also love walking around the city with my partner and our dog. I value love, support, and community.
