You know all the “right” things to do;

you’ve read the books,

you’ve listened to the podcasts,

maybe you’ve even gone to therapy before

but for some reason you just can’t shake the tension that seems to live in your shoulders and the panic that makes breathing so hard

It’s like your body is betraying you

  • The doctors have run all the tests and nothing seems to explain these symptoms that are showing up. You try to stay positive, but its so easy to get discouraged when everyone says “you’re fine!” but you know intuitively somethings not quite right.

  • That quiet restless voice is getting louder asking questions like “Is this it?” You are pretty sure there has to be more. It reminds you that “this isn’t the life I imagined for myself” and you dream about burning it all down and starting over, although you’re not sure thats exactly what you want either.

  • You keep telling yourself, that stuff that happened doesn’t bother me anymore… and maybe you’ve made peace cognitively, but your body hasn’t quite caught up and is still sending you distress signals at super inconvenient times.

You don’t need another self-help book, another self-care product, or another morning routine.

You need something more honest.

More grounded.

How Can I Help?

Support for unexplained physical symptoms and chronic illness where medical answers are hard to find.

Support for life transitions and identity shifts when the life you've built no longer feels like the life you want to lead.

Support for nervous system regulation and childhood trauma where old survival strategies are now showing up as present-day distress.

Offered in a format that fits YOU

  • Works best if:

    • You can commit to weekly or biweekly appointments and benefit from consistent, ongoing support

    • You're building trust gradually and need time to feel safe opening up about deeper material

    • You're managing daily life while doing therapeutic work and need sustainable pacing between sessions

    • You prefer processing things in smaller pieces over time rather than intensive deep dives

    Learn More About Traditional Sessions

  • Works best if:

    • You need more time to drop into deeper work without feeling rushed once you've opened up difficult material

    • You're working through specific events or patterns that require more space to process fully in one sitting

    • You live far away or have scheduling constraints that make weekly sessions difficult

    • You find that just as you're getting into meaningful work in regular sessions, time runs out and it feels frustrating

    Learn More About Extended Sessions

  • Works best if:

    • You're facing a significant life transition or decision point and need concentrated time to gain clarity

    • You can't commit to regular weekly sessions due to unpredictable symptoms, energy levels, or scheduling

    • You're ready to do deeper trauma processing work that benefits from extended, uninterrupted time

    • You want to make significant progress in a shorter overall timeframe, creating momentum that you can then maintain with less frequent check-ins

Ready To Get Started With Therapy?

Let’s make these next steps easy!

1  Let’s Chat!

First, we set up a 15 min virtual consultation to meet each other and see if what I have to offer is what you are looking for. This is a great time to ask any questions that you have! Schedule Here

2 Working together

Next, we dive into the work. We will explore what you are already good at as well as the places you are struggling. As you tell your story, we will find the strategies you are using that are working well, and adapt the strategies that don’t work quite so well for you now. This space is for you, and you can use it however you need; you can laugh, you can cry, you can vent, you can share your latest favorite recipe or why you loved that movie you saw the other day.

3 Growth and Transformation

Continuing to show up and do the vulnerable work of understanding yourself better is tough, but so rewarding when you stick with it. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to do it by yourself. Let’s get you to a place where you feel grounded and connected.
