Deep Listening & Depth-Oriented Work

You will be met with full-bodied, attentive listening, the kind that allows you to feel genuinely witnessed and to hear yourself more clearly. I work with women and men in established adulthood (“the rush hour of life” roughly ages 25-55) who are navigating life transitions, identity shifts, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship, stress, perfectionism, or the lingering impact of early conditioning. This is not quick-fix therapy. Our work focuses on understanding long-standing patterns and internal dynamics, and gently cultivating new ways of relating to yourself and others with greater awareness and choice.

The Here & Now

While we explore your history to understand context and meaning, our work is rooted in the present moment. We pay close attention to how patterns show up in your current relationships, inner world, body, and lived experience. This present-focused awareness supports real, sustainable change that helps align the life you’re living with the life you want to inhabit more fully.

Approach & Orientation

My work is relational, depth-oriented, and integrative, drawing from Jungian depth psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt-informed present-moment work, nondual awareness, mindfulness, and somatic attention. Rather than emphasizing technique, I prioritize presence, attunement, and nervous system regulation as the foundation for meaningful change. With an additional master’s degree in liberal theology, I also welcome exploration of spirituality, evolving belief systems, and meaning-making in a way that is open, non-dogmatic, and client-led. Therapy is grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and a human-to-human connection.

Self-Compassion, Integration & Feeling Alive

Growth begins with awareness and acceptance rather than self-criticism. Together, we shift away from perfectionistic or over-achieving patterns and toward curiosity, self-compassion, and integration. Instead of focusing only on symptom relief or happiness, we explore what helps you feel more alive, aligned, and whole, before, during, and after the choices you make, supporting deeper fulfillment and connection.

Between-Session Integration

Meaningful change unfolds over time through reflection, awareness, and integration. You may be invited to engage in gentle, intentional practices between sessions to support ongoing insight and embodiment, always tailored to your capacity and life context.

If you’re ready to invest in yourself and are seeking a warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental space where you feel deeply heard, thoughtfully challenged, and supported with care, this therapeutic relationship may be a strong fit.
