About

Hi! If you feel deeply, pick up on subtle emotional shifts, or get overwhelmed in charged spaces—you’re not alone. I offer a grounded, compassionate space to better understand your sensitivity & begin experiencing it as a strength, not something to hide. I work with highly sensitive people (HSPs), deep feelers, & those navigating complex relational dynamics. I'm a trauma-informed therapist rooted in somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), & mindfulness, offering safety and attunement throughout the therapeutic process. I work especially well with men undergoing life transitions, neurodivergent individuals, & teenagers.

In couples therapy, I help partners understand their emotional pacing & attachment patterns—especially in relationships where one partner tends to withdraw & the other reaches for closeness. With insight drawn from my own journey toward secure attachment, I bring patience, clarity, & care to help both partners feel seen & supported.

I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but it's also a brave and important step toward healing. Sometimes when we are struggling, it can be hard to feel hopeful. Are you ready to live the life you want? With a loving heart and a keen desire to learn about you, I'm ready to help you.
