My Mission

I often use this metaphor to describe what healing looks like with me as your guide. We go through life and pick up metaphysical wounds that live on the surface and inside of your body. They are there whether you notice them or not. These wounds are all different shapes and sizes. Some small, some big. A knife in the gut is a relic of your parents divorce, the scrape on your knee is that one time you got too drunk and fell off the karaoke stage. While you’re in it, you literally don’t have time to deal with it, so you do what you can. You slap on some liquid stitch and a bandaid, you let the wound scab up and scar over. You just cover it up and keep going. The people that I work with have gotten very, very good at that part. My clients are those who look like you have it together. They achieve, perform, push through, override the pain, and disconnect from the body. But underneath it all, those wounds are still there. Untouched, bruised, and infected. These wounds unconsciously shape everything from how you eat to how you relate to others, without you even realizing it. Therapy, the way I practice it, is not about pretending the wound isn’t there. It’s about going back. Taking the knife out, peeling back the scab, taking the bandage off. And yeah—its going to sting. We are going to pour antiseptic on it, we are going to poke and prod at it. We are going to let you feel what you didn’t have space to feel at the time. We will go slowly, carefully, and together. And with that, we will stitch it back up in a way that actually heals, so it doesn’t keep reopening. These wounds don’t have to define you anymore, and you can move through your life without constantly living in the pain. The people that I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, deeply self-aware, and completely exhausted. Perfectionism that won’t let you rest. A complicated relationship with food that is controlling, pushy, and quietly consuming your thoughts. Patterns in relationships that feel hard to explain, but even harder to leave. And a mind that never, ever turns off. You may already understand why you do what you do. But guess what? Insight alone won’t change that. Because this isn’t just happening in your head. It’s happening in your body, and you can’t come home to a body that doesn’t feel like home. My work focuses on helping you shift out of constant thinking and into something more grounded. We pay attention to your nervous system, your physical responses, the places where your body holds what your mind has been trying to manage. We use somatic practices, grounding, intuition, spirituality, and a lot of curiosity to help you: Notice when you’re activated instead of pushing through it Reconnect with your body in a way that feels safer, not overwhelming Untangle patterns in relationships that feel familiar but harmful Begin to trust your internal signals again I’m not a blank slate therapist. I’m a human in the room with you. I’ll be honest, engaged, and also respect that this work will feel vulnerable and unfamiliar. If you’ve spent most of your life living in your head, coming back into your body can feel strange, but we won’t rush that. We just start exactly where you are.
