About My Clients
My clients are thoughtful, capable adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in the same painful patterns. They’re often high-functioning but exhausted, hard on themselves, and tired of managing everything alone. Many are navigating parenting, relationship conflict or betrayal, identity changes, perfectionism, or old trauma that keeps resurfacing. They want relief, clarity, and real tools—not just insight.
My Background and Approach
I help you understand why you feel the way you do—and what will actually help you feel better. Together we’ll untangle anxious spirals, trauma responses, relationship patterns, and the self-criticism that keeps you stuck. I use a warm, mindful, body- and nervous-system–based approach so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and others. We’ll look at the survival strategies you’ve carried (often since childhood), update what no longer serves you, and practice real skills in session so change feels possible right away. I blend Buddhist psychology, contemplative psychotherapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, and PACT for couples. Whether you’re navigating postpartum challenges, anxiety, trauma, or relationship stress, therapy gives you space to breathe, reset your nervous system, and build a life that actually feels good.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you’re not broken—you’re protecting yourself in the best ways you learned. Symptoms like anxiety, shutdown, overthinking, perfectionism, and reactivity make sense once we understand your history, your wiring, and what you’ve had to survive. I don’t approach therapy as “fixing” you, but as expanding your capacity, updating outdated coping, and reconnecting you with your strengths and intuition. I believe healing happens in your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self. It happens when you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to try new things, and seen enough to let old patterns loosen. I hold therapy as a deeply human space—steady, grounded, compassionate, and real.
