Depth-oriented therapy for people healing from trauma, complex family dynamics, and long-standing emotional patterns.
For thoughtful, self aware people who want to stop being so hard on themselves and relate to their inner world with more kindness.
Many of the people who find their way to my work are thoughtful, perceptive people who have spent years trying to understand themselves. They often have insight into their history and relationships, yet still feel caught in patterns of self criticism, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm.
Therapy can become a place where that understanding begins to shift into something deeper. Not just insight about your life, but a different way of relating to yourself. Together we move at a pace that respects your nervous system while gently exploring the patterns that have shaped your experience.
You do not have to know exactly how to face your pain yet. Curiosity and a willingness to begin are enough.
How I work:
I pay close attention to both your emotional world and your nervous system. Sometimes that means gently exploring the ways earlier relationships shaped how you experience yourself today. Sometimes it means noticing what your body is holding in the present moment. Insight matters, but meaningful shifts often happen when understanding begins to connect with emotional and bodily experience.
A cornerstone of the work I do is helping people relate to themselves with more gentleness and kindness: Many thoughtful, perceptive people have spent a lifetime attending carefully to everyone else’s needs while being quietly hard on themselves. Therapy can become a place where that pattern begins to soften and a more compassionate relationship with yourself can begin to take shape.

Trauma and nervous system healing
You may carry a pain that feels invisible to others—confused by the weight you feel, yet unable to trace it back to a single moment. Perhaps you've experienced abuse, betrayal, discrimination, or rejection that left lasting wounds. Or maybe there’s no clear memory, just a sense that something inside still isn’t at ease. Trauma shows up in many ways, and none of it means you're broken.
-
Depression
Maybe you wake up dreading the day or find yourself going through the motions, feeling flat and disconnected. You might cancel plans, struggle to focus, or feel shame for not being able to “snap out of it.” Depression can feel like it’s stealing your ability to care—about others, about yourself. Therapy can help you untangle the heaviness and start finding moments of aliveness again.

Identity Issues
You may be asking: Who am I, really? Maybe you feel lost—so far from who you hoped to be that you don’t know where to begin. You might not like who you are right now, and the weight of self-judgment can make it hard to see yourself clearly. The truth is, your deeper Self has always been there—quiet, buried, waiting. In therapy, we’ll gently make space for that part of you to come forward with compassion, curiosity, and care.

Anxiety
You lie awake at night thinking through everything you said, everything you didn’t say, and what might go wrong tomorrow. Even small tasks can feel overwhelming when your body is tight and your chest won’t loosen. You try to keep it together, but underneath, you're always scanning for what could go wrong. Therapy can help you soften that constant tension, understand where it comes from, and start to feel safe enough to breathe again.

Navigating Relationships
At the core of every human heart is the longing to be seen and loved by others. When relationships are struggling in life, the rest of life struggles too. Coming from an attachment and trauma-informed lens, we will work together to strengthen your relationships, heal from broken ones, and find restoration and hope while navigating relational waters.

Rejection
If you’ve ever experienced rejection you are familiar with the host of painful emotions that can get triggered. Rejection as an adult is particularly difficult to manage. Rejection can bring up feelings of abandonment, worthlessness, can deteriorate self-esteem and question our value. Together we will process your story and explore ways to restore confidence and eliminate the hurtful symptoms rejection brings.
