Holistic, compassionate, authentic, and grounded care:
Somatic, Relational, & Depth-Oriented Therapy
I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore the authentic truth: about ourselves, our feelings, our histories, and the parts of us that learned how to survive.
You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but nothing’s working.
Therapy with me is grounded, relational, and honest:
Rather than trying to “fix” you or change the way you are feeling (because it usually feels this way for a reason!), we listen closely to what your responses, relationships, and inner voice have been trying to say…
I utilize a framework and lens to this work to incorporate change that feels embodied, meaningful, and sustainable:
This feels less like another band-aid for deep, lasting wounds and is more authentic, intentional, and real to what’s needed in the moment.
Deep healing work is about more
than just coping
The context and story matter.
I don’t rush people toward insight or regulation without exploring the experiences they’ve lived through:
Working with me focuses on how your experiences, especially in relationships, have shaped the way you move through, experience, and perceive the world.
We start by listening closely to what your history is still asking for
We look at how you made meaning from these experiences in the absence of safety, attunement, or consistency: and how that meaning may still be shaping your sense of self, relationships, and the world around you.
This might feel like…
Gently processing relational or old wounds, especially the ones that didn’t come from a single event, but from what was missing, inconsistent, or unsafe over time
Naming patterns that once kept you safe and may now feel limiting
Letting emotions move, integrate, and settle rather than managing them away
Over time, the goal isn’t just regulation, but integration:
That means creating more room at the table for complexity while building deeper self-trust, greater stability, and alignment with your healed self.
I do this through:
Attachment & Relational Therapy:
Relational wounds are healed in relationships
Somatic & Body-Based Therapy:
Working in collaboration with the body
Depth-Oriented Therapy:
Going deeper through exploring Your Inner World, Voice, Wants, and Needs
Attachment-Based & Relational Therapy
We don’t heal in isolation: many of our deepest wounds were shaped in relationships.
Working from an attachment and relational approach, I know, respect, and honor this by making the therapeutic relationship a living, breathing part and container of the work.
Together, we gently explore how you learned to attach, protect yourself, and stay connected—or not—when things felt unsafe.
We explore the relationships in your life, including past and current attunements and attachments. At times, we may notice what shows up between us in the room as an echo of your relationships in your life. Not to analyze or shame, but to understand your relational patterns as they unfold in real time.
This approach can be especially supportive if you:
Feel guarded, hyper-independent, or anxious in relationships
Notice repeating relational patterns that don’t match what you want
Carry relational, developmental, or complex trauma
Grew up needing to adapt to emotional unpredictability or unmet needs
The therapy space becomes a place where your needs are welcomed, your boundaries are respected, and connection can be practiced without pressure so you can create and tend to healthier, stronger relationships in your life.
Somatic & Body-Based Therapy
Your body is wise—even when it’s tired, tense, or overwhelmed.
Soma is the Greek word for of the body, as its own entity just as is the mind and spirit. Somatic therapy helps us to tune in to what your nervous system has learned about safety, threat, and connection, and gently expand what’s possible.
Somatic work may include:
Tracking physical sensations and emotional shifts
Learning how your body signals stress, safety, or shutdown
Supporting regulation around fight, flight, freeze, or collapse
Developing grounding tools that feel usable in real life
I build trust in yourself through listening to your pacing, cues, and signals, and teach you how to do this outside of therapy, too. The goal is to help you and your body experience more choice, steadiness, and ease.
Rather than pushing through or getting stuck in the past, we work in the present moment with sensation, breath, emotion, and movement. This allows change to happen from the inside out, at a pace your system can and wants to integrate.
Depth-Oriented Approaches & Therapy
understanding the root of emotional and relational patterns
Depth-oriented therapy weaves together foundational psychological traditions in a modern, relational way to make space for what lives beneath the surface—
old stories and survival roles, quiet longings and fears, and patterns that learned how to run in the background.
We explore the themes that keep showing up in your life and relationships, the meanings you’ve made, and the parts of you that learned to shape-shift in order to belong or stay safe. This work is slow, curious, and compassionate.
Depth work can be especially helpful if you:
Feel disconnected from yourself or unsure who you are outside of survival or trauma responses
Are drawn to reflection, “self-improvement”, parts work, or meaning-making
Want to understand the roots of your patterns, not just manage or bandaid symptoms
Are looking for therapy that honors complexity and nuance
This approach supports deep, lasting change by helping you build a more honest and compassionate relationship with yourself and others in your life.
What a Session With
Me Is Like
Sessions with me are conversational, attuned, and grounded in the present:
We might start by checking in with how your body is doing that day, what’s been lingering since our last session, or what feels most sensitive (or annoying) right now.
I’ll offer reflections, questions, and occasional guidance, but I’m not here to lecture or interpret your experience from a distance. I’m alongside you, untangling and helping make sense of what’s happening to support your system in doing something new, balanced, and safe.
You don’t need to perform, arrive regulated, or know exactly what you want to talk about (often, clients don’t!)
Therapy with me feels:
Grounding, orienting, and calming
Realistic and authentic (like getting coffee with a trusted friend), not full of therapy-speak
Insightful without feeling clinical or over-analyzing
Deep and enriching but not destabilizing
A place where you can let your guard down and be fully human
You’re allowed to move slowly here. You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to not have it all figured out.
And you don’t have to do this alone.
attuned to the subtle, sensitive, and somatic
For a grounded, intuitive
approach to your healing
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy or forcing a specific method to fit.
I see modalities and approaches as a framework or lens for understanding my clients as a holistic, whole person, where therapy interventions are tools to help achieve goals in therapy (and not every tool is right for the job).
Our sessions are shaped by you—what you’re currently going through, your history, or anything that feels important to you.
Some sessions may feel grounding, goal-oriented, and practical.
Others may feel reflective, emotional, or deeper.
We move between these intuitively, always with consent, collaboration, and your feedback.
