You've worked hard to understand yourself. But understanding hasn't always translated into feeling different.

You look capable on the outside. You've worked hard to understand yourself. But inside, you still feel:

​

• Unsettled or reactive, even when life is relatively calm

​

• Pulled between different inner voices, like a tug-of-war inside: the harsh critic, the people-pleaser, the one who wants to shut down......On and on!​

​​

• Exhausted from trying to override, manage, or fix your emotional reactions. ​

​​

• Disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed by what you feel there

​​

• Like you've somehow failed at the goal of inner peace, despite all the work you've done

​

This work may resonate with you if:

• You're tired of insights that don't seem to change how you actually feel day to day

• Something in you suspects the pattern runs deeper than your own story, maybe through your family or culture

• You'd rather understand what's really going on inside than find another way to manage it

• You want to feel genuinely supported, not just given more techniques to practice alone

You don't need to be in crisis. Just a willingness to turn toward

what's already there, waiting to be understood and met with care.

I especially love working with women over 50, though any woman

drawn to this deeper work is welcome.​​

Why This Keeps Happening

​Many thoughtful people try to make changes through insight,

analysis, or self-discipline.

​

But lasting change rarely comes from pushing harder or trying to 

eliminate difficult emotions.

​

Real change begins when we learn to stay present with our inner

experience...especially the parts we've been taught to override or avoid.

​

This is where Internal Family Systems therapy and somatic awareness can help.

My Approach: Understanding and embodiment before change

​

I work at the intersection of IFS therapy, somatic awareness and Buddhist practices.

​

Together, we:

​

• Understand your reactivity and inner conflict as protective parts that 

• developed for good reasons 

​

• Reconnect with your body's wisdom, learning to trust what you feel instead of avoiding it

​

• Heal inherited patterns, including intergenerational wounds that live in your nervous system

​

• Move past spiritual bypassing, staying with discomfort long enough for real change

​

It's about coming home to yourself--mind, heart and body.​​
