It’s what happened.
It’s how you’ve carried it.
It’s how you’ll work through it.
It’s how you’ll recover, heal & grow.

Life experiences shape how we understand ourselves, relate to others, and respond when things get hard. Sometimes the ways we learned to cope still help us. Sometimes they leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted.

Therapy offers space to understand those experiences, work through what you’re carrying, and develop more choice in how you respond.

You might be navigating stress, anxiety, grief, loss, addiction or recovery, relationship challenges, or a transition that has unsettled your sense of who you are. You might look like you’re managing everything while privately wondering how much longer you can keep going. Or you may simply want to understand yourself better.

You don’t need to have the right words—or a neatly organized explanation—to begin.

Psychotherapy Services

Therapy is for making sense of what you’ve been through, navigating what’s happening now, and finding more choice in what comes next.

It’s finding support that fits.

Psychotherapy

Space for what you’re experiencing.

Explore stress, anxiety, grief, identity, relationships, and the ways you’ve learned to cope. Together, we work toward greater understanding, emotional regulation, and ways of responding that support the life you want.

Founder & Executive Therapy

For the person behind the title.

An understanding of the world you work in, with room for your whole life. We explore ambition, responsibility, identity, relationships, and what happens when being capable becomes being responsible for everything.

There’s space for stress, burnout, loss, grief, addiction, and the patterns that follow you from the boardroom to into relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and those rare moments when you’re finally alone with your thoughts.

Together, we get curious about who you are beyond being productive, needed, or in charge—and what you need to feel connected, supported, and more like yourself.

Couples Counseling

For what happens between you.

Explore communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, and the expectations each person brings (or doesn’t bring) to the relationship. Together, we work to understand recurring patterns, express needs, and create opportunities for repair and connection.

EMDR Therapy

When understanding an experience hasn’t changed how it feels.

EMDR offers a structured approach to processing distressing memories, trauma, and the beliefs and emotional responses connected to them.

Our work includes preparation, grounding, and attention to your needs, readiness, and sense of safety. The goal is to ease the impact of past experiences, create more choice in how you respond, and help you move forward with greater room for connection, possibility, and joy.

HR Consulting

Experienced HR leadership with people at the center.

I support founder-led companies in building thoughtful people practices, clearer systems, and healthier cultures throughout the employee journey, from candidate through alumni. Drawing on more than 20 years in HR leadership, I bring an understanding of creative businesses and the everyday experiences of the people at every level.

I believe that when work works better, life works better.

How we make sense of it, together.

Integrative Therapy

You’re a whole person, with experiences and needs that may call for different approaches. I bring together elements of several therapeutic frameworks, tailoring our work to you. We may explore the past, work with what’s happening now, and develop practical ways to move forward.

Human Development Stages

We keep becoming throughout our lives. Drawing on human development theories, including Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stages, we explore how experiences around trust, independence, identity, intimacy, and purpose may shape how you feel and relate today. These stages offer a lens, not a fixed timeline—earlier themes can reappear as we navigate relationships, loss, work, and change.

Person-Centered Therapy

You bring expertise in your own life. I bring curiosity, empathy, and a space where you can feel heard without having to perform or have everything figured out. Our relationship is collaborative, with your needs, values, and pace guiding the work.

A Multicultural Lens

Your experiences exist within the context of family, culture, race, gender, sexuality, ability, community, and opportunity. We make room for how identity, belonging, discrimination, and systems of power shape your life—and what care and healing mean to you.

A Trauma-Informed Approach

What happened to you matters—and so does how you adapted to get through it. We explore how overwhelming experiences may shape your sense of safety, trust, relationships, and responses to stress. Our work emphasizes choice, collaboration, and a pace that respects your readiness, with room to build support and coping skills before approaching painful experiences.

Psychodynamic Therapy

We explore how earlier experiences and relationships may influence present-day feelings, expectations, and ways of relating—sometimes outside your awareness. Understanding those connections can help you recognize recurring patterns and create more choice in how you respond.

Narrative Therapy

The stories we carry about ourselves can shape what we believe is possible. We explore where those stories came from, whose expectations they reflect, and whether they leave room for who you are today. You are more than the problem you’re navigating.

Somatic Practices

Sometimes you notice tension in your shoulders before you recognize how much you’re carrying. We pay attention to bodily sensations, breathing, and signs of stress, using grounding and body awareness to support your ability to stay present with emotions.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a structured approach used to help process distressing memories. Following preparation and assessment, it incorporates bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, as you attend to aspects of an experience. The aim is to reduce its emotional intensity and the unhelpful beliefs connected to it.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Alongside understanding what’s difficult, we explore your strengths, what’s already helping, and moments when the problem feels less overwhelming. Together, we identify what you want to be different and practical steps toward that change. Progress doesn’t have to be dramatic to make a difference.

Understanding Your Patterns: Psychoeducation

Clinical understanding of what’s happening can help you approach yourself with more curiosity and less judgment. I bring psychoeducation into our work to give language to your experiences and connect that understanding with everyday life.

It’s an old pattern.
It’s a new possibility.
It’s holding it all together.
It’s letting something go.
It’s reacting.
It’s learning to pause.
It’s a coping strategy.
It’s asking if it still helps.
It’s your story.
It’s seeing it differently.
It’s who you had to be.
It’s choosing who you become.

  • Under stress, you might feel an urge to push back, get away, shut down, or keep everyone happy—often described as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. We explore how these protective responses show up in your life, what brings them on, and what helps you respond with more awareness and choice.

  • The window of tolerance describes a range in which you can experience emotions while remaining able to think, connect, and respond flexibly. Stress may leave you feeling highly activated or shut down. We learn to recognize your signals and explore practices that help you return to a more manageable state.

  • Regulation doesn’t mean being calm all the time. It means developing the ability to notice, understand, and respond to your emotions without suppressing them or becoming overwhelmed by them. Together, we explore ways to stay connected to yourself, communicate what you need, and recover after difficult moments.

  • We all find ways to manage stress and protect ourselves from painful feelings. Coping strategies are often intentional actions, such as seeking support or taking a break. Defenses are often more automatic and outside our awareness, such as minimizing something painful or explaining away a feeling. We explore what these responses protect you from, how they affect your life, and what other options might become available.

  • Some responses help us meet our needs and navigate challenges; others bring short-term relief while creating difficulties over time. These are often called adaptive and maladaptive patterns. A response that helped you through one chapter of life may become limiting in another. Together, we consider what still serves you, what carries a cost, and how to build more flexible ways of responding.

  • Early relationships can shape what we expect from others and how we experience closeness, trust, conflict, and separation. We explore those patterns with curiosity, including how they show up in relationships today. These patterns can change as we develop awareness and experience more secure connections.

  • The Tree of Trauma model depicts how trauma manifests above the surface (behaviors, symptoms) while the roots represent underlying causes (developmental trauma, chronic stress, neglect, systemic oppression). Clinically, it helps clients understand that what they experience now is often rooted in earlier or systemic influences, reducing shame and increasing insight.

  • Addiction is a chronic, relapsing condition characterized by compulsive behaviors despite negative consequences. It often reflects attempts to cope with emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. Treatment integrates biological, psychological, relational, and environmental factors and supports harm reduction, nervous-system regulation, and sustainable recovery.

  • The Stages of Change model (Prochaska & DiClemente) outlines how people move from precontemplation to maintenance in behavior change. Self-care practices strengthen each stage by supporting regulation, resilience, and agency. Clinically, understanding readiness helps tailor interventions and avoid pushing clients faster than they are prepared to move.
