**There are times in life when you find yourself at a threshold—
when what has been is no longer enough, and something new is beginning to take shape.**
These are often the moments when something that once worked no longer does—
when familiar patterns begin to feel limiting, and a deeper layer of experience starts to come into view.
If you’ve often felt on the outside looking in, or move through the world with heightened sensitivity—taking in more, and often carrying more—you may find yourself holding more than you can easily process or express.
Here, we work with that—staying close to your experience, exploring it, and giving it form, so something new can begin to take shape.
I offer individual and couples therapy for adults in California who want to not only understand their patterns, but shift how those patterns are lived, felt, and experienced—in real time.
My work draws from trauma-informed, relational, somatic, depth-oriented, and parts-based approaches.
Together, we work across multiple pathways, tracking how your experiences—past and present, personal and inherited—organize your inner world, shape your relationships, and live in your body.
This work is especially supportive for people who identify as highly sensitive or neurodivergent, those in helping professions, and creatives—while also welcoming a broader range of individuals drawn to this way of working.
Sessions are available online throughout California, and in person in Berkeley and Petaluma.
When Patterns Feel Stuck and Something Wants to Shift
You might be noticing:
A sense that something in you is ready to shift, even if it’s not yet clear how
Patterns that continue to repeat, even when you understand them
A gap between insight and lived change
The tendency to carry a lot—for others, or within yourself—often without space to process or return to your own experience
Different parts of you that feel in tension, hidden, or difficult to express
A sense that something more is there, but just out of reach
Experiences shaped by earlier or complex patterns, even if they’re hard to name
Something in you is already paying attention.
Our work begins by staying with that—and supporting what is ready to shift.
How I Work
In our work together, we don’t only talk about your experience—
we work directly with it, as it unfolds.
We make space to notice what is happening in real time:
in your body, your emotions, your thoughts, your impulses, and in the space between us.
From there, we begin to track patterns as they take shape, rather than only reflecting on them afterward—
and to engage them in ways that allow something new to emerge.
My approach is guided by several interconnected areas:
Trauma-informed care — we regulate pace and intensity so the work stays within a range that is supportive, not overwhelming, while recognizing how past and intergenerational experiences may continue to shape your present
Parts work — we identify, differentiate, and build relationships with the parts of you as they show up in the moment, including inner child work
Depth work — we follow images, emotions, and meaning as they arise, rather than forcing interpretation
Somatic awareness — we track sensation, activation, and shifts in your nervous system in real time
Relational work — we explore what happens between us as a living example of how patterns take shape in connection
Expressive approaches — we use writing, imagery, and creative process to access and move what isn’t available through words alone
Together, We Can
Begin to notice patterns as they take shape—not only after the fact, but in real time
Stay with your experience long enough for something new to take form
Move through the space between insight and embodied change
Give expression to what has been difficult to access or put into words
Support shifts that are felt in your body and relationships—not just understood cognitively
Begin to loosen patterns that have been carried over time—personally, relationally, or across generations
This is where change becomes possible—
not through insight alone, but through new experience.

I stay actively engaged with your process—not only your words, but what is happening as you speak
We move at a pace that allows for depth, while staying within a range that feels workable and supportive
I bring attention to what is unfolding in the moment—including in your body, your emotions, and in the space between us
