Therapy for childhood & intergenerational trauma, grief, & anxiety

Somatic experiencing, internal family systems,and emotionally focused therapy

Let’s get to the root of your issues

You’ve tried traditional talk therapy before and want something different.

I offer somatic and experiential therapy.

You’re seeking a direct therapist who will challenge you with compassion. You’re seeking somatic therapy to embody the changes you want.

Your past wounds are causing you conflict in the present.

You struggle in intimate relationships, being vulnerable, feeling good enough, with overwhelming emotions and/or negative thoughts, and the exhaustion of overthinking.

You’re here because you’ve been dealing with the same issues for years, tried solving these problems on your own, and realize you need help.

You’re looking for long term solutions to long term issues.

While there are no quick fixes or solutions for long standing issues, there is hope.

You can understand why you do what you do, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and feel more at ease in your mind and body.

Healing is possible. Liberation is possible.

We will all die one day. What is your relationship to grief?

Since 2018, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals and couples heal from the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and grief.

Many of my clients are entrepreneurs, overachievers, perfectionists, and wounded healers who work in high stress and high pressure environments and/or those who grew up in difficult circumstances such as being abused or neglected as children.

They are chronic over thinkers who intellectualize their problems, are self-aware to a fault, and find it hard to connect to their feelings.

Working together, you can learn why you do what you do, interrupt patterns that no longer serve you, and learn practical skills to manage overwhelm.

Note: There are no guarantees counseling will solve all problems, or how quickly changes will occur. There are no miracle cures, but it improves the odds, particularly if you start early.
