approach
My work is rooted in the belief that healing doesn't happen through pressure or performance, it happens through space.
Space to feel.
Space to notice.
Space to come home to what's been ignored, silenced, or pushed aside.
Our time together is one where you can begin to:
Our time together is one where you can begin to:
Slow down and move at the pace of your nervous system, not your to-do list.
Notice what’s happening inside including thoughts, feelings, and body sensations with curiosity instead of critique.
Unlearn self-protection patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism
Feel safer in your body and more anchored in the present moment.
Reconnect with your truth so your choices, boundaries, and relationships come from alignment instead of fear.
This isn't about fixing you. It's about creating a relationship with yourself spacious enough to hold your pain, your joy, and everything in between.

What it feels like to do the work with me
I’m not here to give you quick fixes or tell you who to be. I’m here to offer something many of us rarely receive – space. Space to feel what you’re feeling. Space to listen inward. Space to be met without judgment.
Clients often tell me they feel safe to slow down in our work together, to soften their defenses and begin listening to the parts of themselves they’ve spent years trying to outrun. We go gently, and we go honestly. At your pace, not mine.
At the core, I stand by one simple knowing: healing happens in the presence of compassion. My role is to hold that presence with you, so that over time, you can begin to hold it for yourself.

Parts Work
Within each of us are many parts. You can think of them as inner voices, feelings, and patterns that have learned how to keep us safe. Some parts work hard to manage life. Others carry pain from the past. Some shut down, while others overthink or criticize. All of them formed for a reason.
Meeting the Many Voices Within You
In our work, we don’t try to get rid of these parts. We invite them in for tea and get to know them. We listen with curiosity and compassion, helping them feel seen rather than judged. As that happens, space naturally opens inside. You begin to sense the calmer, steadier presence that’s always been there — the part of you that’s capable of understanding, holding, and healing the rest.
Parts work is gentle, profound, and deeply human. It helps you move from self-blame to self-understanding and from inner conflict to connection so you can live with more ease, authenticity, and self-trust.
I completed training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Circle so I can walk this path alongside you.

Relational Therapy
The relationship between you and I is part of the work. We’ll work with both what’s happening inside you and what’s happening between us.
Healing Through Connection
Sometimes the very patterns you’re trying to shift such as people-pleasing, masking your true thoughts and feelings, and fear of judgment show up in the therapy room. When those patterns appear between us, we treat them with the same tenderness and curiosity as anything else. The therapy relationship becomes a living, breathing space where new experiences can unfold.
Together, we create space for deeper connection, vulnerability, and experience the gift of being truly seen. This kind of relational work builds trust, not just between us, but within yourself.
I completed training in Gestalt Level I to help deepen your awareness of the present moment experience.

Somatic Awareness
So much of what we call anxiety, overthinking, or burnout lives in the body. Somatic awareness is the practice of listening inward, not to analyze or fix, but to notice what your body has been trying to say all along.
Reconnecting With Your Body
When we bring gentle awareness to sensations, tension, or stillness, we start to see how our nervous system has been protecting us. Over time, this awareness builds safety inside the body that allows emotions to move, settle, and integrate.
In our work together, we slow down enough to let your body lead. We might notice where you feel grounded, where you tense, where you go numb. These small moments of noticing can become openings where calm, trust, and aliveness can begin to return.
Somatic awareness helps you reconnect with your body’s wisdom. Healing does not happen from merely gaining insight, it comes from allowing yourself to feel what was once too much to feel.
