Our work together

It can be easy to feel overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves in the face of trauma, social pressures, and existential stress. I bring a particular tender care to relational and developmental trauma, the kind that takes shape early, in relationship, and shows up as patterns that are hard to name. I see therapy as a space where we can slow down, identify what no longer serves you, make room for greater agency, and move toward a more embodied way of living.

I am loving, relational, collaborative, and honest. I see the therapeutic relationship as a place where we can give attention to what wants to emerge, whether that looks like grief, shame, trauma, or memories that are difficult to revisit. Together, we’ll listen deeply to your experience, including what is hard to put into words.

I see you as the expert of your own lived experience. I hold structures of oppression accountable for much of the suffering we experience, while also bringing curiosity and gentleness to the ways your psyche and body learned to keep you safe. Those adaptations once served an important purpose, and we’ll notice together when they no longer feel aligned with who you are or how you want to live. In the room, this might look like conversation, attention to your bodily experience, and curiosity about what emerges between us.

I am grounded in a belief in the wisdom of the body, and my work is trauma-informed and depth-oriented. I aim to create a steady, compassionate space where you can process what once felt overwhelming and build greater capacity to meet yourself with clarity, compassion, and acceptance. I see suffering not simply as something to be eliminated, but as something that may be asking for our attention. We’ll listen for what it’s pointing toward and how your deeper longings can take shape in everyday life.

While we’ll spend time with what is difficult, I am also down-to-earth and believe joy and laughter are essential parts of healing. There is room for it all in our work together.
