There is this moment in therapy - small, nearly invisible - when someone speaks a truth they’ve never said out loud. I LIVE for that moment. Not because it's dramatic or polished or brave…but because it’s real! And healing begins with realness.

 

I believe deeply in the possibility that relationships can come back to life - even the ones that feel like they’ve gone too quiet (or too loud). I also believe that trauma doesn’t get to have the final word! I care about the versions of people that don’t get much airtime: when we hide hurt behind humor, when we want closeness but don’t have the words, when we learned love has to be earned. I intentionally create a therapy space where defenses loosen, people laugh at the absurdity of being human, and real connection grows wild again.

 

With me, you can expect a lot of warmth and gentle, but direct nudges in a new direction:
 

• We’ll explore why you shut down when things get tender.

• We’ll dig into the trauma that still hijacks your present.

• We’ll un-train your nervous system from expecting danger where love should be.

 

You’ll learn new ways of loving - the kind of love that builds trust, laughter, and the steady, consistent certainty of belonging.

 

When I’m not in session, you'll find me outside surfing (in Hawaii), dancing, or on a long walk in nature, remembering that we are all connected.
