Big heart. Wild Soul. Sharp mind.
You've spent years understanding yourself.
But knowing hasn't set you free.
Let's work with what insight alone hasn't changed.
Somewhere beneath all the cycles, triggers, patterns and adaptations, a woman wants to come alive.
I work with women who have enormous inner lives.
They feel deeply → but had to disconnect → lost touch with parts of herself → understands why → but understanding hasn't reconnected her → she's ready to reclaim herself and break the cycles.
But is discouraged as hell because she feels stuck.
Our work goes beyond understanding why you do what you do. Together, we'll explore what's keeping those patterns in place, begin practicing something different, and discover more of who you are as you learn to live in new ways.
Change isn't just about breaking old patterns. It's also about rediscovering the YOU who lives underneath them.

HOLDS IT TOGETHER
ALREADY UNDERSTANDS
WANTS SOMETHING TO CHANGE
-
People come to me when their worlds fall apart. I'm not sure who I'd turn to if mine did.
-
I can make room for everyone else's feelings, but I struggle to be with some of my own - they can feel too complex.
-
I can feel overwhelmed, lonely, or completely lost—and still look like I've got everything handled.
-
Sometimes I wish someone would see how much I'm carrying without my having to explain it.
-
I can trace my patterns all the way back to childhood, and I'm still living them.
-
I understand why I learned to put myself last. I just don't know how to stop.
-
I can recognize myself abandoning my own needs, even as I'm doing it.
-
I've done a lot of work on myself. Sometimes I wonder why it still feels so hard to be me.
-
I know my reactions make sense given what I've lived through. I just don't want to get so triggered anymore.
-
I want to know what I actually want, not just what I've learned to want for everyone else.
-
I want to feel deeply without being overwhelmed by everything I feel.
-
I want to stop disappearing from myself when relationships get complicated.
-
I want to discover who I am when I'm not trying to be who someone else needs.
-
I want help discovering the me that's longing to be known.
Specialties
Trauma
Something happened—or maybe you've had too many things happen—and some part of you is still responding as though things aren't over.
You may understand what happened. You may have told your story 100 times, made meaning from it, and built a full-ass life around it.
And still, your body reacts. A part of you takes over. The same belief surfaces and the past finds its way into the present.
We can work with what your system is still carrying.
Anxiety
Maybe your mind runs a million miles ahead of you. Your body sounds an alarm before you've had time to understand why. Or you're extraordinarily good at anticipating, preparing, managing all the things—and are rarely truly off.
Anxiety isn't always irrational. Sometimes it's a system that became exceptionally good at protecting you.
We learn to listen to the alarm; we get curious about why it keeps trying to get your attention.
Personal Transformation
Nothing has to be falling apart for you to want something more. Maybe you've built a life you genuinely love, yet there's a part of you longing to be known. Maybe the roles, expectations, and beliefs you've lived within no longer feel like they fit.
Or maybe you're just beginning to wonder who you are when you're not being who everyone else needs.
Therapy can be about healing. It can also be about discovering, developing, and experiencing more of who you are.
Change happens through experience.
It isn't just something you conceptualize. It's something you practice. In your body. In your relationships. In the moments when doing something different feels unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or downright terrifying.
It might mean saying no when you're used to saying yes. Letting someone be disappointed. Finally trusting your intuition that you've spent years questioning. Or taking a step toward something you've never quite allowed yourself to want.
I won't sugarcoat that this work asks for courage, curiosity, and a willingness to act.
You don't have to become fearless to begin living more freely.
And you don't have to figure it out alone.
We'll work with what makes change difficult, practice what becomes possible, and make room for you to experience yourself differently—not just in therapy, but in your actual life.
This is where our work begins...
Btw, I am not a passive therapist.
And, I won't be intimidated by your insight or mistake your ability to explain yourself for healing. I won't sit back and nod while you beautifully articulate and intellectualize your way around the thing that actually hurts.
I will engage with you.
I am insatiably curious. I notice. I ask. I challenge.
I will 100% slow us down when something important just happened, but your brain has already jumped thirteen sentences ahead.
And I won't position myself as the expert on you.
My goal isn't to become the person you need in order to trust yourself.
It's to reconnect you to yourself so deeply that your body, your intuition, your voice, and your own knowing become places you can turn toward—not away from.
So just come as your whole wild and beautifully complex self.
The woman who knows exactly what she wants. The woman who hasn't got a clue. The one who's ready to change—and the parts of her that are scared to death of what change might mean.
There's room for all of you here, so you don't have to hold everything together while we do this work.
We'll bring curiosity, honesty, clinical depth, and courage to our work.
And most importantly, you don't have to have it all figured out. We can begin right where you are.
