For people who try hard, feel deeply, and still can't crack the code on connection.
You've probably done some version of the work before. Therapy, maybe. Self-help books. Difficult conversations you forced yourself to have. And things have shifted — a little, sometimes a lot. But there's still something. A wall you keep hitting. A pattern that won't quit. A loneliness that persists even when you're not alone.
That's where I come in.
One-on-one work with me is tailored to your specific nervous system, your specific story, your specific way of being in the world. We don't follow a script. We follow you. Sessions draw on somatic awareness, relational coaching, parts work, and — for those who want it — the profound healing available through safe, consensual, non-sexual touch.
We go at the pace your nervous system can metabolize. We don't rush breakthroughs. We create the conditions for them.
"K has been one of the best things that ever happened to me, and I do not say that lightly.
When I found her, I was carrying a whole lot of trauma, had spent decades cut off from touch, had no clue I was autistic, and did not have language for much of anything happening inside me. I wrote better than I talked, did not know my own boundaries, did not know how I wanted to be touched or not touched, how much pressure felt okay, where touch was okay, or even how to begin sorting any of that out. Most people before her could only help me to a point. I could talk until I was blue in the face, understand things intellectually, and still nothing really changed. K was different.
What she has given me was never some neat, manualized, one-size-fits-all healing process. We built this container by winging it, because the usual ways were not getting me where I needed to go. And what matters to me is not that she always got it perfect, but that she stayed. When things got messy, and with me they absolutely got messy, she did not bolt, did not reduce me to a problem to solve, and did not force me into some model that fit everyone but me. She kept readjusting. She kept learning. She kept coming back. For someone with my history, that means more than I can possibly explain.
K has had to grow in order to stay with me. She has had to get clearer, stronger in her boundaries, more honest, more solid in herself. Oddly enough, that has helped me trust her more, not less. With me, her boundaries need to be iron clad, and the fact that she has been willing to do that work says a lot about who she is. She is not just kind. She is brave enough to be real. Brave enough to learn. Brave enough to repair. Brave enough not to hide behind canned therapeutic bullshit when something more human is what is actually needed.
I would not trade her for any other mental health professional because after all this time, I am closer to myself than I have been in my entire life. Not because she followed some perfect formula, but because she was willing to meet me where I actually live. She has helped me feel safe enough to come into my own body, safe enough to keep going when things got hard, and safe enough to tell the truth. And for me, that is no small thing.
She has loved me through learning, stayed with me through rupture, and helped me find pieces of myself I did not even know were still there. That is who she is to me. So no, I cannot sum her up in two damn sentences."

This work is for you if:
You want to understand your patterns in relationship — not just intellectually but in your body
You've done talk therapy and feel like something is still missing
You want to learn how to ask for what you need, receive what's offered, and say no with love
You're ready to go somewhere most people don't go in professional settings
You're tired of being lonely in a life that looks fine from the outside
What to expect:
Sessions are 90 minutes minimum. We start with a free 30-minute consultation — no pitch, just a real conversation about what you want, what's in the way, and whether I'm the right person to help. If I'm not, I'll tell you that too.
Most clients work with me weekly or every other week. Some come for months. Some stay for years. The work determines the timeline, not a preset program.
