It may feel this way right now.  It doesn’t have to stay that way.

This isn’t just talking about your week.

 

We focus on:

  • Patterns, not just problems

  • Your nervous system, not just your thoughts

  • The parts of you that developed to cope—and how they’re still running your life

 

So the insight you already have can finally translate into real change.

From the outside, your life looks exactly how it’s supposed to.
You’re capable, accomplished, and used to handling whatever comes your way.

But something still feels...off.

Left unexamined, these patterns can show up as anxiety, burnout, disconnection, addiction, depression, OCD, or simply ways of functioning that no longer serve you.

If you’re here, you’re not looking for surface-level insight—you’re ready for meaningful, lasting change.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with high-functioning individuals—professionals, executives, and physicians—helping them identify and resolve the deeper patterns driving their internal experience:

  • Trauma (including subtle and complex trauma)

  • Anxiety, chronic overthinking, and internal pressure

  • Relationship and attachment patterns

  • Emotional disconnection, burnout, or overwhelm

  • People-pleasing and over-functioning

 

I offer a confidential space via Zoom therapy where you can step out of your roles and expectations—and do the kind of work that leads to clarity, resilience, and lasting change.

 

I don’t offer quick fixes—they don’t last.
I offer focused, individualized work that gets to the root of what’s shaping your internal experience—so real change can happen.

 

In our work together, we:

  • identify recurring patterns

  • explore underlying emotional and nervous system responses

  • create shifts that extend beyond the therapy room

I’m not afraid of what’s there. You don’t have to be, either.

 

It can feel like a big step to begin therapy!  You can spend 15-minutes on the phone and I’ll let you know how or if I can help you. If I am not the right person, I’ll do my best to get you to find a therapist that can.

Since 1996, I’ve spent nearly three decades helping people understand and shift the deeper patterns shaping their lives You can read more about my background and training —but what matters most is how that experience translates into the work we do together. My approach has been deeply influenced by Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Through training with him, along with a three-year postgraduate study in Integrative Body Psychotherapy, I’ve learned to listen not just to what you say—but to what your nervous system and body are holding. Because healing doesn’t happen through insight alone. It happens when deeper patterns are actually processed and shifted. Over the years, I’ve intentionally trained across a wide range of modalities so I can meet each client with flexibility and precision—not a one-size-fits-all approach. My work integrates elements of: Trauma-informed and body-based therapies (including Brainspotting) Attachment and relationship-focused work Anxiety, OCD, and exposure-based approaches Eating disorder and addiction recovery frameworks Sexuality, intimacy, and relational health Perinatal and life-transition support Mindfulness and compassion-based practices I’ve also completed advanced training in areas such as suicide risk assessment, emotional regulation, harm reduction, and couples work, along with ongoing study in neuroscience, trauma, and relational healing. If you’re someone who has “done therapy before” but felt like it only scratched the surface, this depth of training allows us to go further—carefully, thoughtfully, and at a pace that actually creates change.
