About Me

I do this work because I know what it is like to think deeply, feel deeply, and still feel unsettled in your own life, even after years of trying to work on yourself.

Many of the people who find their way here are thoughtful, self-aware, and capable. Some have spent years exploring therapy, coaching, self-development, or somatic practices. Others have not, but carry a quiet sense that something in their inner life has never fully settled.

Whether you have tried many approaches or are just beginning to look more closely, there is often a shared feeling that something important remains untouched.

That experience is not a personal failure.

It is often a sign that the support you received did not fully engage how your nervous system learned to survive, relate, and make sense of the world.

I did not come to this work from theory alone.

I spent years genuinely trying to understand and improve myself, applying discipline, insight, and effort across many different approaches. I explored traditional counseling and therapeutic frameworks, cognitive and behavioral models, somatic and body-based practices, meditation and mindfulness, coaching, and holistic perspectives. Each offered something valuable. None were wrong. What was missing was integration.

Over time, I learned that meaningful change is not about fixing yourself. It is about understanding why your patterns developed and how they are still trying to protect you.

My work is therapy-informed, trauma-aware, and relational.

While I am not a licensed therapist, my approach is deeply informed by contemporary understandings of complex trauma, nervous system regulation, attachment, and relational dynamics. I pay close attention not only to what you have experienced, but to how those experiences live in your body, your patterns, your relationships, your sense of identity, and your daily life.

Many people seek this work as an alternative or complement to traditional therapy, especially when insight alone has not translated into lived change.

I work especially well with people who feel deeply and think deeply, who have rich inner worlds, and who adapted early to environments that did not fully see or support them. Many learned to over-function, people-please, shut down, or stay hyper-vigilant. On the outside they may appear capable or high-functioning. On the inside they feel confused, disconnected, or unsure how to trust themselves.

This work is not about fixing you or pushing you to change faster than your system is ready for.

It is about creating enough safety, clarity, and understanding for change to emerge naturally in your relationships, your choices, and how you live your life.
