Return to your body.
Expand into your life.
Therapy for people who've learned to manage life instead of live in it — through overthinking, staying busy, keeping the peace, or just always being the capable one. You don't need more insight. You want to feel like yourself again — not just explain why you don't.
1:1 Therapy serving Colorado and Pennsylvania
Maybe that looks like…
Overthinking every conversation before, during, and after it happens.
Staying so busy that you don't have space to feel anything at all.
Being everyone's steady one — the friend, the sibling, the coworker people call first — while quietly running on empty.
Keeping the peace, even when it costs you your own voice.
Pulling away right when things get close — even when you're the one who wanted closeness in the first place.
Often it's not just one of these. It's some combination, depending on the day, the relationship, or how safe things feel in the moment.
And usually underneath it all…
You learned, somewhere along the way, that it was safer to think your way through life than to feel your way through it. Safer to manage than to need. Safer to be capable than to be vulnerable.
That strategy worked. It probably still works, in a lot of ways. But it also means you might feel disconnected from your own body, unsure what you actually feel until you've analyzed it, or exhausted from holding it all together for everyone — including yourself.
What working together looks like:
You don't need to arrive with the right words, perfection explanation, or your patterns already identified. You can come exactly as you are — mid-thought, mid-spiral, or not even sure what you want to talk about today.
It's experiential, not just talk. We might do breath work, visualizations, somatic exercises, or slow down to track what's happening in your body in real time. If you ask me for a tool to try between sessions, I'll give you one.
𖤓
I show up as myself, not just a role. I'm not a blank slate — I'll be honest, direct, and let you see me as a real person, because I can't ask you to be authentic with me if I'm not willing to be authentic with you. That also means I won't just listen and nod — I'll challenge you and go deeper.
𖤓
We work with the parts of you that learned to survive this way — the achiever, the fixer, the one who keeps everyone comfortable — not to get rid of them, but to understand what they've been protecting you from, so they don't have to work so hard anymore.
𖤓
Lightness is part of the healing, not separate from it. For a lot of my clients, being able to laugh, play, or feel ease in session — not just push through the hard stuff — is itself a sign that their nervous system is learning to feel safe. Both matter.
Learn about my methodology
My approach brings together somatics, parts work, ACT, and a relational lens — working with your experience on multiple levels: your thoughts, your body, and your relationships. So change becomes something you can actually feel, not just understand.
-
We slow down and notice what's happening in real time — not just in your thoughts, but in your breath, body, and nervous system. Instead of figuring things out logically, we stay with what's actually happening as it happens. Over time, you start recognizing what you feel as you feel it, and responding from a grounded place instead of defaulting to analysis or shutdown.
-
Feeling internally conflicted — one part wanting closeness, another shutting down or staying in control — is exhausting, especially when you "know better" and still repeat the pattern. Instead of trying to get rid of these parts, we get curious about what each one is trying to do for you. Over time, you recognize your parts without being run by them.
-
You often know what you want — intellectually — but fear, anxiety, or old narratives keep you looping. In ACT, we make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, and get clear on your actual values, then practice small, grounded steps toward them even when it's uncomfortable. You learn to move forward with uncertainty, not after it disappears.
-
Your patterns often show up most clearly in relationships — anxious with distance, shutting down in conflict, over-adapting to keep the peace. Our own relationship becomes part of the work: how you respond to feedback, closeness, or distance between us, in real time. This gives you a live space to notice your patterns as they happen — and experiment with relating differently.

This might be a good fit if:
You're high-achieving and self-aware, but that hasn't created the change you're looking for
You overthink, intellectualize, or people-please — sometimes all in the same day
You appear grounded or even put-together on the outside, while a lot is going on underneath that you rarely let show
You're the one everyone leans on, and you're tired of it not going both ways
You've been in therapy before and know what "just talking about it" feels like — and you want something deeper
𖤓 I also love working with fellow therapists and healers — holding space for the people who hold space for everyone else. 𖤓
I also offer care for BIPOC clients, first-time therapy seekers, men navigating emotional wellness, and support around life transitions.
