About

Meaningful therapy allows vitality, authenticity, and a sense of freedom to emerge. I help clients experience more of these vivid feelings of aliveness. To cultivate them, we first need to understand what is blocking them. Because humans are wired for survival, many protective adaptations: rigid “shoulds,” overthinking, perfectionism, emotional shutdown, or caretaking can become automatic patterns. These strategies often once served an important purpose, but over time they may limit peace, agency, and connection. My work integrates somatic regulation with insight-oriented psychotherapy, helping clients holistically.
