Supporting you as you move toward the healing and the life you want.
We might be a good fit if...
You constantly overthink.
You feel responsible for everyone else.
You've done therapy before but still feel stuck.
You struggle to know what you feel.
You're successful on the outside but exhausted inside.
Your depression and anxiety has returned.
You struggle to identify purpose and meaning in life.
If you're feeling uncertain, you're not alone. Many people wonder if they'll know what to say or whether therapy will actually help. You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. We can begin exactly where you are.
Therapy is about seeking help that gently addresses how you are experiencing the things in your life. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly and welcome adults from diverse backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences.
NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®)
NARM® is guided by a holistic, trauma-informed approach that recognizes how early life experiences shape our nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. The NARM® approach supports the gentle exploration of these patterns in your time. Rather than following a rigid method, NARM® offers a flexible and collaborative process that meets you where you are.
This approach focuses on building greater awareness, emotional capacity, and connection to yourself.
The foundational principles that guide this work are outlined to the right, and offer a glimpse into how NARM® supports meaningful change.

Therapy adapts to your experience rather than following a strict formula.
-
Alongside challenges, we also recognize your resilience, strengths, and the parts of you already working toward growth.
-
The work supports greater emotional balance, resilience, and the ability to navigate life and relationships with more ease.
-
We focus on what is happening in your life now, allowing insights from the past to emerge naturally and safely.
-
NARM recognizes the connection between thoughts, emotions, and the nervous system.

Sessions are shaped by thoughtful exploration rather than judgment or “fixing.”

Therapy supports you in reconnecting with your own insight, clarity, and inner knowing.
Somatic Experiencing (SE™)
SE™ is a gentle, body-based approach for healing trauma and chronic stress. Sometimes the nervous system remains caught in survival responses like fight, flight, fawning, or freeze long after a difficult experience has passed. When this happens, people may notice discomfort related to the lingering symptoms. Some report feeling anxious, restless, irritable, emotionally numb, or disconnected from themselves. Over time, ongoing stress can also show up physically through symptoms such as chronic pain, migraines, digestive challenges, sleeplessness, or autoimmune disease.
SE™ helps the body gradually release stored survival energy and restore balance. By learning to safely notice and work with body sensations, many people experience greater calm, resilience, and a deeper sense of safety in daily life.
