Individual therapy

In individual therapy, we’ll explore how your past relationships and experiences have shaped who you are today. We’ll examine the emotional patterns and behaviors that might still be influencing you, with a focus on creating a space where you feel understood, and respected.

Everyone’s journey is unique, so our work together will be tailored to fit your needs. Exploring different parts of yourself that hold conflicting emotions or gently working through unresolved childhood experiences, I’ll meet you with warmth and curiosity as we navigate these areas together.

Many people come to therapy feeling pulled in different directions or held back by emotions that seem difficult to manage. We can work to create space for those feelings, helping you move forward in a way that aligns with your values and goals.

Somatic Therapy with Supportive Touch

(Trauma-Informed & Consent-Based)

This work is grounded in somatic therapy, which focuses on how stress and trauma live not just in our thoughts, but in the body and nervous system. Many people understand their trauma cognitively, yet still feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, shutdown, hypervigilance, or emotional overwhelm. Somatic therapy helps address what talking alone often can’t.

I am training in a body-based trauma approach developed by Kathy Kain, which emphasizes nervous-system regulation, safety, and gentle co-regulation.

What this work looks like

Sessions are slow, collaborative, and highly attuned. We track sensations in the body, notice patterns of tension or collapse, and support your system in finding more ease and stability. At times, supportive, consensual touch may be offered as a way to help the nervous system feel grounded, resourced, and less alone.

Touch is never assumed. It is:

  • Always optional

  • Clearly discussed in advance

  • Based on explicit consent

  • Adjusted or stopped at any time

For many people with developmental trauma, attachment wounds, or chronic stress, having safe, attuned support can help the body learn that it no longer has to manage everything on its own.

How touch can help

Trauma often happens in isolation or without support. This work gently introduces a different experience: being with, rather than fixing or pushing through. Touch, when appropriate, can help:

  • Settle overwhelm or activation

  • Support grounding and containment

  • Increase a sense of safety and presence

  • Build trust in bodily signals

This is not massage and not invasive bodywork. It is subtle, respectful, and always guided by your nervous system.

Who this may be helpful for

  • Developmental or complex trauma

  • Attachment and relational trauma

  • Chronic anxiety or shutdown

  • Difficulty feeling safe in your body

  • Feeling “stuck” despite insight and self-awareness

You do not need to know how to “do” somatic work. We move at your pace, following what feels tolerable and supportive.

Important note

Somatic therapy with touch is one optional part of my integrative practice. Many sessions remain entirely verbal. We decide together what feels right for you.

In relationship therapy, We’ll focus on the dynamics within your relationships and how your past experiences shape the way you connect with others. We’ll explore areas where communication may break down or where feelings of disconnection arise, with the goal of rebuilding emotional safety and trust.

All relationships face challenges. In our sessions, we’ll look at what might be creating distance or defensiveness, so we can work toward a deeper sense of connection and understanding. This is a space where everyone can feel heard and supported. We will focus on developing communication and strengthening emotional connection.

Ongoing groups

In my group therapy work, I focus on creating a supportive and relational space where members can explore their personal challenges while benefiting from the collective experiences of others. Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to connect with people who are navigating similar struggles, creating a sense of community and understanding that can be hard to find in everyday life.

This space is designed to be safe and confidential, where trust and openness can develop naturally. As members share their stories and listen to one another, they often gain new perspectives and insights that promote individual growth while deepening connections within the group. It’s a place where you can feel heard, validated, and supported, while also learning more about yourself through the reflections and experiences of those around you.

Consultation, Mentorship & Coaching

In my consultation and mentorship work, I offer a supportive space for therapists looking for guidance, whether you're just starting in private practice or seeking a fresh perspective. It's a chance to reflect on challenging cases, explore feedback, and work on developing your own style as a therapist. We’ll focus on your goals and any areas where you'd like to grow, helping you feel more confident and grounded in your practice.

Mentorship is about creating a relationship where you feel seen and supported as you navigate the complexities of being a therapist. Whether you’re feeling unsure with certain clients, exploring your niche, or just need a space to process your own experiences, I’m here to offer insight and support.

Therapy and coaching can look similar, but they serve different roles. Therapy focuses on emotional healing, mental health, trauma, and patterns rooted in the past and is a clinical relationship guided by ethical and legal standards. Coaching is future-focused and practical, supporting clients with goal-setting, accountability, skill-building, and life transitions—such as improving organization and time management related to mild ADHD challenges, clarifying career direction, building routines, or strengthening communication. Coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions, and the coach is not responsible for managing mental health symptoms, crises, or determining higher levels of care; clients who need therapeutic or psychiatric support are encouraged to seek therapy or other appropriate mental health services.
