Explore how we can work together to build a deeper, more connected relationship within yourself and with others.
a little about my work…
I work at the intersection of attachment, nervous system healing, and relational repair. Many of the patterns that shape our adult relationships are rooted in early experiences of connection, protection, and belonging. When those early dynamics were inconsistent, overwhelming, or misattuned, they can continue to organize how we respond to intimacy, conflict, and stress long after the original circumstances have passed.
My approach integrates IFS-informed parts work, Somatic Experiencing principles, and DARe attachment models to support deeper patterns of change. Rather than focusing only on insight or symptom management, we pay attention to how your nervous system organizes under pressure, how protective strategies developed, and how internal parts attempt to keep you safe. The work moves at a pace that allows your system to participate, not override.
This practice is collaborative and depth-oriented. It is designed to support sustainable shifts in how you relate to yourself and others, with careful attention to regulation, attachment patterns, and embodied awareness. The work is depth-oriented and collaborative.

At the heart of my work is a deep respect for how intelligently human beings adapt. The ways we brace, withdraw, pursue, over-function, or shut down did not appear randomly. They developed in relationship, often early, and for good reason. I approach this work with care for those adaptations rather than urgency to remove them.
Sessions are relational and collaborative. We move slowly enough to notice what is happening beneath the surface, especially in moments of activation or protection. I pay close attention to pacing, because change does not come from pushing. It comes from creating conditions where the nervous system feels supported enough to try something new. Over time, that steady attention allows patterns to soften and reorganize.
My training reflects this integration. I am a DARe Provider (Dynamic Attachment Repatterning experience), an attachment-based model focused on secure relational patterns. My advanced studies include Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, and I am currently in a three-year professional training in Somatic Experiencing. These approaches inform how I understand parts, attachment, and nervous system regulation within a relational context.
I remain committed to ongoing education and professional consultation. This work is nuanced and depth-oriented, and I hold it with seriousness, humility, and respect for the complexity of being human.

I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation as a place to connect and see if this work feels like the right fit. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and how I work. It’s a space to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels aligned. It’s not a full therapy session, but it gives us both a feel for the process.
If we decide to move forward, I ask that we meet at least every two weeks. Many people begin weekly, especially at the start, but bi-weekly is the minimum. This work builds over time, and meeting consistently allows trust and depth to develop. Regular sessions create the continuity needed for meaningful change.

This work is well suited for people who notice repeating relational patterns, feel activated in intimacy or conflict, or find that insight alone hasn’t shifted deeper dynamics. It tends to resonate with those who are open to slowing down, paying attention to internal experience, and engaging in a collaborative process rather than seeking quick solutions.
Sessions are held online within a secure, confidential platform. I ask that you join from a private space where you can speak freely and feel uninterrupted. Confidentiality is central to this work and is maintained in accordance with professional and ethical standards, with the usual legal exceptions.
A sense of safety, privacy, and relational trust is foundational to how I practice.

My fee is $175 for a 50-minute session. I operate as a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance. Working outside of insurance allows our time together to remain centered on the relational process itself, without the need for diagnosis or external requirements.
I understand that financial circumstances vary. A limited number of sliding scale spaces are available for those experiencing financial strain. If cost feels like a concern, I welcome that conversation during our consultation. It’s important to me that we approach this work with clarity and mutual understanding from the outset.
a little about me…
My path into this work was not linear. I began as a dancer, long before I had language for attachment or nervous system regulation. Movement was my first teacher… It showed me how much the body holds, how expression and protection can exist at the same time, and how much communication happens without words.
That foundation led me into more than three decades of teaching the Eight-Fold Path. As a yoga teacher, I spent years guiding others through the subtleties of breath, pacing, and embodied awareness. I learned how to hold a room. I learned to recognize the moment someone begins to override themselves. I saw how quickly people push past their own limits in the name of growth, and how different it feels when practice is rooted in attunement rather than force.
Over time, my curiosity deepened beyond teaching. I became increasingly interested in the relational patterns beneath the surface, and in how early attachment experiences shape intimacy, conflict, autonomy, and self-trust. Like many people, I initially approached these questions intellectually. Insight mattered, but it did not fully shift the deeper patterns I observed in myself or in others.
What changed things for me was recognizing the central role of the nervous system in relational experience. Protective strategies began to make sense. They were adaptive. They developed in relationship, often early, and persisted for good reason. Understanding this reshaped my direction and led me into formal training in attachment-based models, somatic approaches, and parts-informed work.
Today, my work reflects that integration. I approach sessions with careful attention to relational safety, timing, and collaboration. The body is included. Protective strategies are respected. Pacing matters. My years of teaching continue to inform how I hold space, steady, attentive, and attuned.
I am less interested in quick solutions and more interested in durable shifts in how you relate to yourself and others. This is work I take seriously, shaped by decades of embodied practice, study, and lived experience. I hold it with deep respect for the complexity of being human.
