I am a human before I am a therapist. I came to this work through my own life, through loss, through difficulty, through the slow process of finding my way. Over twenty-five years of learning about the mind-body connection in my own life, I've come to know that deeper change often happens through the body and the emotions, not only the mind.
I know, too, what it means to be met well in that process, with real presence, real listening, real skill. That's what I aim to offer you, too.
My approach draws on relational and integrative traditions of psychotherapy: work that values the therapeutic relationship as the primary instrument of change, and that adapts what it offers to the person in the room rather than imposing a single model.
In practice this means we'll often move between focused conversation, slowing down to attend to what's happening in the body or in feeling, and stepping back to make sense of patterns across a life. The work is unhurried but not directionless. The direction is something we develop together.
Safety in this work means something specific: enough to go somewhere real, and to meet your own edges without being overwhelmed by them.
We work at your capacity. This means staying with what is to the degree it doesn't overwhelm you, and leaning into the discomfort of what's there.
My approach is real, relational, and embodied.
