How I Work

In therapy you have an opportunity to become more familiar with yourself. The parts you’re proud to share, afraid to share, or secretly wish to share. It’s all welcome. I’ll listen carefully and deeply, and offer reflections and suggestions where appropriate. And I’ll help create a space where you can gently untangle what’s knotted inside, letting what no longer fits fall away so you can live more freely.

In Somatic therapy, we expand beyond the traditional focus on our thoughts and emotions and notice the subtle cues from your body— cues like tension, breath, and posture—that can reveal deeper patterns. Our sessions will feel much like traditional talk therapy but with an added awareness of how your nervous system responds, allowing you to imagine new possibilities for how you want to experience life and connect with others.

Humans are wired for connection. From an early age, we adapt to stay safe—masking, shrinking, overachieving, or numbing. These aren’t flaws; they’re survival strategies. But over time, they can turn into self-doubt, control issues, people-pleasing, fear of intimacy, or emotional exhaustion.

Therapy helps loosen the grip of these patterns, creating space for freedom and possibility. So you can speak without hesitation, rest without shame, and trust yourself without second-guessing.

I’m here to listen, but I’m also here to help you make real change in your life. I’ll look for opportunities to gently challenge the stories that keep you stuck and help you hold yourself accountable to the life and relationships you want.
