My Approach

I’m a psychodynamic, relational therapist with a deep somatic foundation. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years working with bodies through massage, movement, and structural integration. We are living systems, shaped by story, by gravity, by family, by culture, and by all the ways we’ve learned to hold ourselves together in order to survive.

I draw from systems theory, attuned to how larger forces like family, culture, oppression, and identity shape our lives in complex ways. I also integrate parts work and attachment theory, and most of all, I work with what unfolds between us in real time.

Together, we’ll explore your patterns, where they come from, what purposes they’ve served, how they’ve helped you survive, and how they live in your body and relationships today.

My approach is collaborative, curious, and process-oriented. That means paying close attention not just to what comes up, but how it comes up,  in your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and interactions. Some sessions might feel practical, others more reflective or embodied, always grounded in a shared process of discovery and growth.

This kind of therapy can help you make sense of long-standing patterns, loosen what feels stuck, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others. Over time, it can open space for greater connection, self-trust, and a deeper sense of possibility in your life.
