For the ones who learned to be strong before they learned to feel safe.
Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of the patterns you’ve carried for years, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have gotten lost along the way. Maybe you’re used to being the strong one, holding everything together, or putting pressure on yourself to get things right. You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what you need on the inside.
Our work together is about understanding these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, building a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and finding new ways to move through life that feel more aligned with who you are and what matters to you.
What therapy with me looks like?
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that the ways we cope often developed for a reason. Rather than trying to fix or get rid of parts of yourself, we work to understand what they’ve been carrying and what they might need now.
I draw from parts work, somatic approaches, EMDR, and mindfulness-based practices to help you explore the connection between your experiences, emotions, thoughts, and body. Together, we make space for the feelings you’ve learned to push aside, notice patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop a greater sense of self-trust.
I’m a licensed therapist in California, I practice therapy virtually, with any clients who reside in California.
