Let’s explore your life stories.

It doesn’t really matter how you landed here. Maybe you’re carrying grief after a breakup, feeling the ache of the “how did my life end up this way?”, or questioning how to work through difficult relationships with family, community, the world. It can feel heavy, confusing, and lonely. Your thoughts are starting to loop around familiar patterns of frustration and maybe even a little bitterness.

It doesn’t have to be that way. You’re going through a process of reckoning. We all do. With the right support, you can turn this season of change into something that not just heals, but transforms you.

I bring nearly two decades of experience as a therapist, professor, and yoga teacher to support you through tender and transformative moments. My approach blends the insight of narrative therapy (making sense of the stories shaping your life), the depth of Internal Family Systems (getting to know the parts of you that hold pain or wisdom), and the practical tools of the Gottman Method and sex and relationship therapy (building healthier, more fulfilling connections). For those interested, I also know how to integrate the grounding and restorative practices of somatic therapy to help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom, regulate your nervous system, and create space for deeper healing. You’re always in control, you lead the way, but I’ll pay close attention to your experience and offer guidance where I think that might help.

Every session is a chance for growth. I’m deeply curious about you. Let’s get started.
