“One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen.”
— John O'Donohue
START HERE
Most people who find their way here aren't in crisis. They're functioning — often really well, from the outside. They're meeting deadlines, showing up for people, keeping it together at work or in school. But there's a persistent gap between who they appear to be and how they actually feel. A pattern that keeps repeating no matter how much they try to understand it or think their way out of it.
Maybe it's the inner critic that never fully quiets, no matter how much you accomplish. The anxiety that spikes before you ask for something, set a boundary, or let yourself rest. The tendency to put everyone else first and struggle to name, let alone ask for, what you actually need. Or a quieter sense of disconnection, not just from others, but from yourself. A difficulty naming what you feel, or feeling much at all. A gap between what you know intellectually and what you can actually access, express, or let someone get close to.
This might Resonate.
If this is you — even a little — you're in the right place.
WHO I WORK WITHThe people I see most.
Achievement comes easily — Satisfaction doesn’t.
You're the one people don't worry about. Driven, capable, self-sufficient; the one who knows how to get things done. From the outside, it probably looks like your life works. But internally, there's a restlessness that doesn't quit. No matter how much you accomplish, it doesn't quite feel like enough, or at least, not for very long. There's always a next goal, a higher bar, something else to fix or improve. Slowing down can feel uncomfortable. Like if you stop pushing, something important might slip, or you might not feel as solid as you seem. So you keep going. And at the same time, part of you is tired of chasing a feeling that never quite sticks.
The High-Achiever
Keeps the peace, even when it costs you.
You're good at showing up for people. Reliable, warm, thoughtful — the person others turn to for sound advice. From the outside, it may even look like connection comes easily to you. But asking for what you need, setting a limit, or expressing your feelings to others is harder. Something closes off when it's your turn to receive, and advocating for yourself can feel near impossible in a way that's difficult to explain. Maybe you find it easier to be other people's rock. But when it comes to you, having needs feels risky — like it might cost you connection, approval, or love. So you learned to want less, give more, and keep the peace.
The People-Pleaser
Insightful, but still stuck in a loop.
Your brain doesn't really turn off. You replay conversations, anticipate problems before they happen, and analyze your own patterns with impressive clarity. You've probably gained real insight from all of it — you understand yourself, maybe better than most people do. But the thinking also keeps you stuck, or it never quite resolves things. There's always one more angle to consider, one more thing to prepare for, one more way something could go wrong. Somewhere underneath the analysis is an anxiety that insight alone hasn't been able to touch. You might find it hard to actually feel settled, even when nothing is technically wrong. So you stay in your head, trying to think your way to certainty.
The Over-Thinker
Figuring out who you are, but the path isn’t clear.
Something is shifting … or it already has. You're at a threshold: a new chapter, a crossroads, a moment where the old structure has fallen away and the new one hasn't quite formed. You might be figuring out relationships, direction, or who you are outside of where you came from. From the outside, it may look like you're doing what you're supposed to do, but internally, it feels far less certain. You're making decisions on your own, carrying new responsibilities, and trying to trust yourself without always feeling like you know what you're doing. There's often grief here too, even when the change is one you chose — a quieter loss of who you used to be, or the life you thought you'd have. So you question your choices, compare yourself to others, and feel the pressure to have it all together, even when part of you feels unsure.
The One at a Crossroads
01 · CORE OFFERINGIndividual Talk Therapy
A time to look at what's actually going on beneath the surface. We'll work with the patterns that keep showing up — in relationships, at work, with yourself, and build a new relationship to the parts of you that have been carrying too much.
Rather than simply giving advice or strategies, therapy becomes a space where you can explore those patterns with curiosity and feel genuinely understood. The relationship we build in the room becomes part of the work itself; a place to explore trust, vulnerability, connection, and authenticity in real time.
Most sessions are conversational. We follow what feels alive or heavy that week, make connections across your history and present, and work toward identifying what actually needs to change and why. It's a slower, more relational process, one that also creates space to reconnect with your values and get clearer on the areas of your life where something feels out of alignment.
When weather permits, we can take a session outside as a walk-and-talk.

EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing — is an evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain finish processing experiences that have gotten stuck. We use bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or sounds) to help your nervous system reprocess difficult or traumatic memories that still carry charge.
It's different from talk therapy in an important way: instead of analyzing or explaining the experience, EMDR lets your system do the work, often arriving at insights and felt shifts that words alone don't quite reach. Especially useful when you intellectually understand what happened, but it still has a grip on you.
For some clients, EMDR isn't a separate course of treatment, it's a tool we return to within the broader context of ongoing therapy. We can move into EMDR processing and then come back to the relational, conversational work. This kind of integration is always available, and for many people it's the most natural way to work.

approaches I draw from
The ProcessGetting started is straightforward.
A 15-minute, low pressure conversation to see if we are the right fit. You can ask questions, share what is bringing you to therapy, discuss what you’re hoping to get out of it, and get a better feel for how I work. There is no commitment required and if we're not the right fit, I'll do my best to help you find someone who is. The relationship between a therapist and client matters, so I always make an effort to ensure the vibes feel right before moving forward.
01
Free Consultation Call
If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule an initial session. The first few appointments are about gathering relevant history, building a clinical picture, and beginning to establish the therapeutic relationship. This is also where we start to get a sense of what approach feels right for you — whether that's talk therapy, EMDR, or something more experiential. This part of the process is important. We're not just collecting information, we're also continuing to assess whether working together feels like the right fit for both of us. Good therapy depends on that foundation.
02
Initial Sessions
From there, most clients meet weekly, especially early on. Consistency is what allows the work to deepen — it builds the kind of trust and momentum that makes real change possible. As things shift, we adjust together. Some people work with me for a focused period of time; others stay longer as new things come up. Either way, you're always in the driver's seat.
