Nervous System
For people whose body is carrying more than their mind knows what to do with — chronic stress, anxiety, burnout. We work on it from two directions: top-down through how you think, and bottom-up through the body.
For people who want to look at all of it — your patterns, your nervous system, your relationships, how you actually live.
Clinical, deeper-scope work: trauma, anxiety, depression. California residents only.
No diagnosis or clinical treatment; skill and capacity work. Available anywhere.

California residents only, under licensed clinical supervision.
Individual counseling that's deeper in scope — clinical concerns, trauma, identity, and longer-arc psychological growth that coaching can't address. Nervous system and trauma-informed care.
For partners navigating the patterns that keep them stuck — communication walls, intimacy, rebuilding trust, or simply wanting to go somewhere more honest together.
A free 20–30 minute intro call. No intake form, no commitment — just a conversation to see if this is a fit. You get a real sense of the work and my style, and we figure out together which path fits: coaching or therapy.
We schedule our initial intake session (1 hour) and start to go deeper. We map where you are now, where you want to get to, and what's been in the way — the foundation everything after builds on.
We begin the work — regular 1-hour sessions (or phase one of the program). We set the pace and direction together, build momentum week over week, and adjust as we go.
I came to this work through my own healing — not a straight line, but an honest one. I started out as a certified personal trainer and nutritionist, studying exercise science, kinesiology, and holistic nutrition. The body was where I began. But working with people, I kept noticing the real barriers weren't physical — they were mental, emotional, and relational. That's what pulled me toward psychology, and eventually toward my calling as a therapist.
Coaching is collaborative, forward-focused work, for people who feel mostly well but stuck. Burnout, a life or career transition, a creative block, a relationship with technology that's gotten out of hand, or a goal you keep circling but can't quite reach. It's about clarifying where you want to go and building the habits and systems to get there. Coaching is open to anyone, anywhere.
Counseling goes where coaching can't: trauma, complex anxiety, clinical depression, grief, and longer-arc psychological growth. If you've done coaching or therapy before and still felt like something was left on the table, this is probably what you're looking for. Therapy is available to California residents only.
Therapy is provided under licensed clinical supervision, using an integrative, person-centered approach that draws on IFS, somatic work, attachment theory, and plain, experiential conversation. Because coaching involves no clinical diagnosis or treatment, it's open beyond California; therapy is for California residents only.
Think of your inner world like a garden. Therapy is the weeding: healing, processing the past, and tending the wounds that crowd out new growth. Processing trauma in particular lives here, not in coaching. Coaching is the seeding: planting new habits, clarifying your vision, and moving toward what you want to build.
They're not interchangeable, and I won't pretend otherwise. If you're not sure which one fits, we'll sort it out together on the discovery call.
A discovery call is free, low-pressure, and gives us both a real sense of whether to move forward together.
