About My Clients

You’re thoughtful, and you’ve already done meaningful work—therapy, books, podcasts, mindfulness—yet something still feels stuck. Anxiety keeps looping, you never feel like enough, old trauma shows up in new ways, or your relationship feels disconnected—more silence, quicker snaps, the aftershocks of betrayal. What used to work isn’t working anymore, and big transitions—becoming a parent or stepping into a new stage of life—magnifies it all.

My Background and Approach

My aim is to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more connected—to yourself and the people you love. I believe in your innate sanity and basic goodness. Rather than telling you what’s right or wrong, we’ll unpack the subconscious rules and expectations you’ve been carrying, update coping that once helped but now limits you, and practice straightforward skills in the room so you leave with tools you can use right away. We’ll follow threads into the past when it’s useful and stay anchored in the present so change is workable—all within a steady, accepting space to feel big emotions, ask the questions that long for answers, and rediscover your own wisdom and agency. I work with curious adults seeking help with anxiety; post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and complex PTSD; perfectionism; low self-esteem; perinatal mood and anxiety disorders; relationship strain or betrayal; and life transitions or feeling stuck. I also work with couples who want to repair and reconnect; intensive sessions avail

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My work is grounded in contemplative psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology. In practice, that means we slow down and build mindful attention so your nervous system has room to settle and choose. I integrate Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (body- and nervous-system focused), the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (attachment and regulation), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma repair. I’m Perinatal Mental Health–Certified. In addition to individual and couples psychotherapy, I offer a periodic postpartum support group. Schedule a free 50-minute consultation here. Let’s connect.
