Individual Therapeutic Sessions

I work with people who feel things deeply and have been carrying those feelings alone for too long.

Maybe you're exhausted from managing everyone else's emotions. Maybe your nervous system is stuck in overdrive and you can't remember what calm feels like. Maybe you've tried all the self-help strategies and meditation apps, and you're still waking up at 3am with your mind racing. Maybe you don’t really remember who you are and what you want in life.

The work we do together isn't about fixing you or finding the ‘right technique’. It's about learning to trust yourself again. To feel what you feel without judgment. To stop abandoning yourself in relationships. To notice the old stories your body is still holding and give them somewhere to land.

We'll work with whatever is most alive for you - anxiety that shows up as tightness in your chest, grief you haven't had permission to feel, anger you've learned to suppress, patterns in relationships that leave you feeling unseen. We use somatic practices, Buddhist psychology, and trauma-informed therapy to help you stay present with your actual experience instead of trying to think your way out of it.

This is slow work. Steady work. The kind that actually changes things.

 

Couples Therapeutic Sessions

 

I work with couples who want something real - not a performance of intimacy, but actual connection.

You might be here because the same fight keeps happening in different forms. Because one of you is overwhelmed and the other feels shut out. Because you love each other and can't seem to stop hurting each other. Because the relationship that once felt like home now feels like walking on eggshells.

In our work together, we create space for both of you to be seen and heard without having to choose between your truth and the relationship. We look at the patterns underneath the patterns - the ways each nervous system responds to threat, the strategies you learned long before this relationship, the places where you're protecting old wounds instead of meeting each other now.

This work asks for honesty, patience, and a willingness to stay with discomfort. We move at the pace of trust. We practice being with what's hard instead of rushing to fix it. We learn how to repair when things break down - because they will.

Not every relationship is meant to continue, and part of this work is getting clear about what's actually possible between you. But if you're both willing to show up, there's room here to build something different.
