What would change if you didn't have to trade your needs for love?
Somatic, solution-focused relationship therapy for individuals & couples who keep ending up in the same exhausting patterns—and are ready to change them for real this time.
Learn to stop blowing up, shutting down, or pretending you’re fine where it matters most, so you can stand in your power and build relationships—and a life—that actually fit you.
Inside your relationships, it’s more complicated:
You replay conversations and wonder if you’re the one who keeps messing it up.
You bounce between over-explaining, fixing, and caretaking… and then pulling away or shutting down.
You feel “too much” in some moments and “not enough” in others.
You know a lot about attachment, trauma, or nervous systems in theory—but once you’re actually in it, your old reactions take over.
The people you love don’t always see how hard you’re working just to hold it all together.
You’ve tried being more patient, more honest, more chill, more spiritual, more “boundaried”… and somehow the same patterns keep showing up.
You’re not dramatic. You’re not hopeless.
You’ve been living in survival mode for a long time.
This is a space to do something different.
In therapy, we’ll work toward you being able to:
Stay with yourself in hard conversations instead of collapsing, fixing, or attacking.
Say what’s real in a way you don’t regret the next day.
Set and keep boundaries that are clear, kind, and workable.
Let yourself have needs without drowning in shame or over-explaining.
Handle conflict differently, so every disagreement doesn’t feel like a threat or a test.
Choose relationships, work, and commitments that actually fit who you are now—not just who you had to be growing up.
This isn’t about becoming a polished version of yourself to make everyone else more comfortable.
It’s about becoming someone you can trust not to abandon you.
Our work includes and moves beyond the thinking mind and into the body’s wisdom. We will:
slow things down enough to notice what’s happening in your body, not just in your thoughts
track your nervous system patterns—shut down, freeze, overdrive, anger spikes—as information, not defects
connect what’s happening now to the roles you had to play earlier in life
practice new ways of relating in real time, so you’re not just “learning tools,” you’re using them
Behind the scenes, I’m weaving together somatic therapy, EMDR, and relationship-focused, trauma-informed work.
You don’t have to learn that language.
Your job is to show up as honestly as you can.
My job is to help you make sense of it and move toward what you actually want.
That’s the direction we’ll aim your work toward—so it’s not just about digging into the past, but building something different in the present.
People who work with me often share that they:
feel more grounded and less reactive in conflict
understand their patterns in a way that actually leads to different choices
feel seen, challenged, and supported—not judged or coddled
finally have language and tools that make sense in real life, not just in theory
For when you’re noticing a pattern—same story, different relationship—and you’re ready to work on your side of it without taking all the blame.
We focus on your nervous system, your boundaries, your stories, and your choices, so you can move through your life in a way that feels more grounded and honest.
For couples who still care about each other but feel stuck in distance, tension, shutdown, or constant misunderstandings.
We slow the cycle down, look at what’s really happening between you, and help each of you show up in a way you can respect—without losing yourself or steamrolling the other.
For those who are on the brink and don’t yet know if they want to repair, separate, or something in between.
Short-term, focused work to help you each tell the truth, see the pattern clearly, and make decisions you can stand behind—together or apart.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and somatic relationship therapist based in Austin, TX. I work online with individuals & couples across Texas who are recovering from painful, confusing, and often toxic relationship dynamics—and who want something steadier and more honest with themselves and the people they love. Yes, I have a master’s in counseling and advanced training in interpersonal neurobiology, EMDR, and integrative health—but the heart of my work comes from over twenty years of doing my own healing.
My path has taken me through yoga and functional movement, energy and sound work, integrative nutrition and nervous system health, and deep relational trainings in honesty, boundaries, and repair. I’ve burned bridges and learned from them. I’ve grieved, faced my own addictions and health patterns, and I’m committed to the ongoing work of taking responsibility for my impact.
What I’m most passionate about now is listening—closely. To your words. To what shows up in my own body as we talk. To being curious about your experience and inviting you to get even more present with yourself. To the subtle things that never quite get said out loud. I’m a human in process, not a finished product, and I treat this work as a living practice of love, reality, and accountability.
You weren’t born to be silent, overextended, or small.
What’s happening in you isn’t just personal—it’s political, cultural, and ancestral.
When you regulate, reconnect, and reclaim your truth—that shift doesn’t just heal you. It ripples outward.
Because a grounded, empowered human is a threat to every system that profits from you staying sick, scared, and disconnected.
Let’s make your nervous system sovereign again.
