Individual Therapy

Reclaim more of yourself.

Compassionate, body-centered therapy for adults ready to heal old hurts, move through change, and build a life that feels like their own.

Is something weighing on you right now?

Most people who come to see me are in the middle of a crisis or a transition. The ways they've tried to cope aren't working, and well-meaning advice from others hasn't helped. If any of these feel familiar, you're in the right place.

Relief often begins sooner than you'd expect

You might feel haunted by painful memories, or overwhelmed by what's happening now. You might be going through the motions of your days with very little energy or meaning. Or you might keep returning to a relationship pattern or a behavior you can't seem to stop, even though you can see where it's leading.

Within the first few sessions, most of my clients begin to feel real relief. They feel supported and more hopeful, they understand themselves more clearly, and they start to see new possibilities.

Over more than 30 years of practice, training, and life experience, I've developed a way of helping people find and transform what's blocking their growth. I draw on a mindfulness and body-centered approach, attachment, neuroscience, child development, trauma work, and EMDR, all informed by the latest research in psychotherapy.

"When a person heals, they reclaim more wholeness, more connection, and the freedom to create a meaningful, fulfilling life."
