There’s something powerful about having a space that’s just for you- a place where you can slow down, breathe a little deeper, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that get lost in everything else.

Maybe you’ve spent your life figuring things out on your own, taking care of everyone else first, or finding your way through the chaos. Maybe you’re capable of handling just about anything but struggle to know what you actually feel or need. You might even carry shame about who you are, how you react, or what you need from others.

As a marriage and family therapist, I work with teens, adults, couples, and other therapists navigating anxiety, relationships, family dynamics, and trauma. I’m especially drawn to people who want more than a place to vent. They want something to change.

Therapy with me is warm, curious, honest, and engaged. Think of it as your emotional living room: shoes off, time to breathe, and space to be yourself. We’ll explore the emotions you’ve never known what to do with, the patterns you keep getting pulled into, and the parts of yourself you’ve learned to judge or hide. We might laugh, talk about reality TV, or wander off topic for a minute. You don’t have to turn every moment into a breakthrough. Feeling comfortable enough to be yourself is part of the work.

I’m interested in who we were before we learned to keep the peace, push feelings away, or become who others needed us to be. You don’t need the right words or all the answers. My role is to help you make room for what you feel, understand yourself with more compassion, and experience your emotions, and your life, more fully.

Our patterns are often driven by experiences that happen beneath conscious awareness: sensations, emotions, impulses, and nervous system responses that shape how we think, relate, and respond before we even realize what’s happening. It’s that frustrating experience of “I know I do this, and I know why. So why can’t I seem to change it?”

Sometimes, lasting change means going beyond simply understanding and talking about our patterns. It comes from learning to be with the experiences that drive them. In our work together, there will be a somatic element to therapy: slowing down, noticing what’s happening underneath, and building the capacity to stay present with what you feel rather than automatically moving away from it. This creates space to respond differently instead of falling back into familiar ways of coping, protecting, or relating.

Somatic work is therefore woven into my approach to therapy. Ultimately, the goal isn’t to feel less. It’s to become more able to feel, to experience life with greater capacity, choice, and self-trust.

What might this look like in therapy?

Depending on what feels right, we may:

• Notice where you feel anxiety, sadness, anger, or tension in your body

• Build awareness of when your muscles contract, your breathing pattern changes, or new sensations show up

• Acknowledge what you feel and experience before you shut down, distract, overthink, or react

• Explore what helps you feel calmer, safer, or more grounded

• Experiment with small changes like shifting your posture, slowing your breath, or moving your body

• Use movement, words, breath, art, imagery, or other forms of expression to connect with or tolerate what you’re feeling

• Notice how expressing, moving, or soothing yourself can change what you’re experiencing in the moment
