What happens when we slow down and listen to your story and your body?

Therapy isn’t about quick fixes or advice. It’s not about “getting over it.” It’s about tending to what’s underneath — the old wounds, the protective parts, the stuck places, the quiet longings — and learning to see yourself with more clarity and compassion.

It’s about creating a space where your full self can show up — not just the polished parts, but the questions, the ache, the anger, the complexity.

How I Work

I offer therapy that’s warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. This means I’m not just interested in what’s happening right now, but also in where those patterns and feelings may have begun. Together, we’ll explore how your past relationships, traumas, and beliefs are shaping the way you relate to yourself and others today.

The work can be tender, surprising, even playful at times — and always grounded in deep respect for your story and your pace.

My approach draws from the following frameworks:

Relational Psychodynamic Therapy

Healing happens in relationship.
This approach invites us to notice the patterns that show up in your relationships — including our relationship in the therapy room — and explore how early attachment experiences may still be shaping the way you connect, protect, or withdraw. It’s about becoming more aware of the invisible rules you’ve learned about love, safety, and belonging.

Narrative-Focused Trauma Care

Your story deserves to be named — and gently reimagined.
Trained through the Allender Center, I help clients engage their stories of harm and heartache with care and depth. Rather than avoiding or minimizing the past, we slow down to explore how trauma has shaped your identity, and where shame has taken root. In time, you may begin to reclaim parts of yourself that have long been hidden or silenced.

Experiential & Psychodrama Therapy

Sometimes words aren’t enough.
Using tools from my training at Onsite Workshops and my work at Noble Workshops, I incorporate creative and embodied approaches when helpful — like role play, guided imagery, or structured exercises that allow us to externalize a part of your story or reconnect with emotion in a new way. These moments can offer surprising clarity, insight, and emotional release.

Parts Work

All parts of you are welcome.
You may have parts of yourself that feel anxious, angry, avoidant, critical, or frozen. Rather than pushing them away, I help you get to know them — to understand what they’re protecting, and why they showed up in the first place. As we listen with curiosity and kindness, healing often emerges.

Involving the Body

Your body holds wisdom, too.
Trauma isn’t just a story in your mind — it’s also stored in your nervous system. I use somatic awareness and gentle body-based practices to help you reconnect with your physical self, regulate overwhelming emotions, and feel more grounded in your body and your life.
