My path into this work began nearly 20 years ago when I left a strict religious upbringing and a marriage marked early on by betrayal and rupture. There was a lot to undo. I was carrying so much without knowing how deeply it had settled into me.

For a long time, I tried to understand myself through reflection alone. I could see patterns clearly. I could name them, trace them back, make sense of them.

And still, I kept finding myself inside them.

Reacting in ways I didn’t intend. Getting overwhelmed. Shutting down. Leaving myself in moments that mattered.

Understanding didn’t change what was actually happening.

I tried to work with myself from the “top down” using awareness, insight, and effort. It helped, but only up to a point. Something still wasn’t reachable.

Eventually, I began to see something I hadn’t really understood: the body wasn’t just holding experience. It was organizing it. And it was doing this in real time.

When I began working somatically, something shifted in a way I hadn’t been able to access through thinking alone. Not answers exactly, but access. To sensation. To what was happening before language. To the pattern as it was forming in the moment.

Over time and with practice, I began to meet myself differently. Not by overriding or controlling what was happening but by staying close enough to it that something else could emerge.

Slowly, the same old moments started to feel slightly different.

A little more space.

A little more choice.

A little less self-abandonment inside them.

Not dramatic. Not linear. But enough to trust that something was changing at the level where change actually happens.

This is the work I now share with others.

I work with people navigating emotional intensity in relationships, identity, attachment, jealousy, longing, grief, and uncertainty — and the ways we lose contact with ourselves when something important is at stake.

This includes non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, where these dynamics often become especially visible.

I work with people across many identities, relationship structures, and ways of loving, and I aim to create a space where people can show up as themselves without needing to explain or defend who they are.

Some people arrive to me with years of self-reflection behind them. Others arrive feeling confused, overwhelmed, or unable to make sense of what keeps happening inside them. Both are welcome here.

What matters most is not where you start, but your willingness to show up and be in relationship with what is actually happening within you as it unfolds. And the great news is you don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to support you each step of the way.

This work is not about fixing yourself.

It is about learning how to stay with yourself, especially in the moments you usually don’t.
