Many of my clients have spent years trying to think their way out of anxiety, stress, or overwhelm. The problem is that stress doesn't just live in our thoughts—it also shows up in our bodies.You might notice it as a tight chest, a constantly busy mind, difficulty relaxing, jaw tension, headaches, digestive issues, or feeling like you're always "on."Somatic therapy helps us pay attention to those patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we'll work on helping your nervous system feel safer, more regulated, and less stuck in survival mode.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an evidence-based approach for chronic pain and mind-body symptoms.Many people I work with have already seen doctors, specialists, or completed extensive testing. Their symptoms are real, but they may notice that stress, fear, pressure, or emotional overwhelm seem to influence how those symptoms show up.PRT helps us understand the connection between the brain, nervous system, and pain. The goal isn't to convince yourself that nothing is wrong. The goal is to reduce fear, build safety, and help your brain and body learn new patterns that support healing.

I love insight. Understanding yourself matters and deepening that understanding is an important first step.But many of my clients already know why they do what they do. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, and can explain exactly where their anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt comes from.The challenge is that insight doesn't automatically create change.My approach combines insight-oriented therapy with somatic, mindfulness-based, and neuroscience-informed techniques so we're not just talking about patterns—we're actively working to change them.

Not necessarily.Some clients come in wanting to focus on what's happening right now, while others want to explore how past experiences continue to shape their lives. Most people end up doing a little of both.The goal isn't to blame your parents or spend years digging through the past. It's to better understand the experiences, relationships, and family dynamics that may still be influencing how you relate to yourself and others today.We'll follow what feels relevant and useful to you.

You're in good company.Many of the people I work with have been to therapy before. They've gained insight, learned coping skills, and done meaningful work—but they still find themselves getting pulled into the same patterns.Often, it isn't because they're doing something wrong. It's because understanding a pattern and changing a pattern are two different things.My goal is to help bridge that gap by combining insight with nervous system work, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of what's keeping those patterns in place.

IFS is based on the idea that we all have different parts of ourselves.Maybe one part of you is highly self-critical. Another part wants everyone to be happy. Another part is exhausted and wishes you could finally slow down.Instead of trying to get rid of those parts, we get curious about them. We learn what they're trying to protect, what they need, and how to create more balance and self-compassion.Clients often find this work surprisingly validating because it helps make sense of the internal tug-of-war they experience every day.

Attachment-focused therapy helps us understand how early relationships may continue to influence the way we experience ourselves and others today.This can show up as people-pleasing, difficulty trusting others, fear of conflict, struggles with boundaries, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, or constantly questioning whether you're "too much" or "not enough."The goal isn't to pathologize those patterns. Most of them developed for a reason. Together, we'll work toward creating relationships that feel safer, healthier, and more authentic.

This is a fancy way of saying we pay attention to the nervous system.When you're anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in survival mode, your body is often working incredibly hard to keep you safe—even when you no longer need protection in the same way.Understanding your nervous system can help explain why you feel stuck, why rest feels uncomfortable, why your mind won't shut off, or why certain situations feel more activating than others.The good news is that nervous systems can learn. Therapy can help you build a greater sense of safety, flexibility, and trust in yourself over time.
