What Sessions May Feel Like
Sessions are collaborative, relational, and paced intentionally.
At times, we may slow down to notice body sensations, emotional shifts, tension patterns, impulses, or relational dynamics happening in real time. We may also integrate conversation, psychoeducation, reflection, humor, curiosity, and experimentation throughout the process.
What Working Together
May Look Like
Consultation Call
We begin with a consultation call where we can briefly talk about what is bringing you to therapy, what support you are looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
Your First Sessions
Our early sessions are focused on building a relationship and getting to know your internal world, nervous system patterns, and the ways anxiety, overwhelm, or past experiences may be showing up in your daily life.
There is no pressure to immediately share everything or “do therapy correctly.” We move at a pace that feels supportive, collaborative, and attuned to your nervous system.
I also provide resources between sessions so you can remain present in the experience itself, rather than feeling like you need to overthink or remember everything afterward.
Over Time
As we continue working together, many people begin noticing subtle but meaningful shifts — feeling less consumed by anxiety, more connected to themselves, and more aware of the patterns their nervous system has learned over time.
The goal is not perfection or “fixing” yourself, but developing a different relationship with your body, emotions, and internal experience with greater awareness, flexibility, and compassion.
Who I Work Well With
My work often resonates with thoughtful, creative, intellectually-oriented, people who are looking for something beyond traditional talk therapy alone.
I especially enjoy working with writers, artists, academics, and deeply thoughtful people navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, perfectionism, overthinking, and questions surrounding identity, embodiment, and the experience of being human.
This work is often a strong fit for adults who:
have already spent time in therapy
feel highly self-aware but still emotionally stuck
want a deeper understanding of their nervous system and relational patterns
are interested in body-based approaches to healing
are looking for a more collaborative and relational therapy experience
I work with anxious people because I deeply understand and care about them. I have a personal history of anxiety (I am in C-PTSD and OCD recovery) and all of the healing required to work with its gravitational force. It has led to a personal and professional passion for braiding together the most updated neuroscience with the somatic and poetic experience of the individual. I am also a normal human who is often talking and moving instead of sitting still. I do rest, but it takes effort and a good book.
I understand how consuming and exhausting anxiety can feel, both personally and professionally. My own experiences with anxiety, OCD, and complex trauma have deeply shaped the way I approach healing and continue to inform my commitment to this work.
I have completed extensive training in somatic psychology, am certified in EMDR, trained in I-CBT for OCD, and am currently pursuing a PhD focused on embodied cognition and somatic practice. I feel incredibly grateful for the teachers, mentors, and communities that continue to shape my understanding of this work.
I also have a deep interest in the relationship between creativity, embodiment, and healing, and especially enjoy working with fellow writers, artists, thinkers, and deeply feeling people navigating anxiety, overwhelm, identity, or relational patterns.
For my fellow academic nerds: I am currently studying the existing research on embodied cognition and poetry as an innately somatic practice.
