This isn’t talk therapy.

You understand your patterns.
They’re still running your life.
We work differently.

You may already understand your patterns.
You’ve likely done meaningful work on yourself.
And still—something doesn’t fully shift.

Not because you’re doing it wrong.
But because insight alone isn’t what creates change.

My work focuses on helping you experience change in real time - so it becomes something you live, not just understand.

How this work is different

This isn’t about analyzing your life from a distance.

We work with what’s happening as it’s happening - in your thoughts, your body, and between us.

In our work:

  • Notice patterns outside awareness

  • Include your nervous system and relational dynamics

  • Track what interrupts change - even when you know what you want

  • Allow new experience to emerge (instead of forcing change)

This is depth-oriented, collaborative work.

There’s no agenda to fix you - and no pressure to perform.

Here’s how this translates into our work together.

What gets in the way

Most of what keeps you stuck isn’t conscious.

You may find yourself:

  • Overriding your own needs or instincts

  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or others

  • Staying in roles or patterns that no longer fit

  • Understanding what’s happening - but not being able to shift it

These patterns aren’t random.
They made sense at one time.

Now they limit what’s possible.

As we begin to work with these patterns, change becomes possible.

This work is likely a fit if:

  • You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and internally motivated

  • You’ve gained insight—but it hasn’t translated into lasting change

  • You’re high-functioning, yet something feels off, stuck, or disconnected

  • You’re ready for work that goes beyond strategies into deeper integration

Our work together

  • Clarify what matters to you
    Even if it’s unclear or evolving.

  • Identify the patterns shaping your experience
    Especially the ones that insight hasn’t shifted.

  • Understand how those patterns developed
    As intelligent adaptations - not pathology

  • Work with those patterns in real time
    So change happens through experience, not effort

    This is where insight stops working.

What begins to change

Clients often notice:

  • A shift from effort → ease and choice

  • Less internal pressure, more alignment

  • Greater capacity for connection and intimacy

  • Movement toward what they want - without forcing themselves

This isn’t about becoming someone different.
It’s about becoming more fully yourself.
Without forcing yourself to change.

This work isn’t for everyone.

This work is likely not a fit if:

  • You want advice, tools, or step-by-step strategies

  • You prefer structured, goal-directed, or skills-based therapy

  • You want quick symptom relief without deeper exploration

  • You want me to tell you what to do

My approach

I integrate NARM® and Somatic Experiencing® to support change that is both psychological and embodied.

We’re not just working with what you think or feel -
but how your system organizes around experience.

The aim is embodied change:
where insight becomes something you can actually live.

This work is for people ready to go deeper - not just to understand themselves, but to experience real change.

I work with clients from diverse identities and backgrounds and value an inclusive, reflective approach.
Sessions are available in person in Columbus, Ohio and via telehealth throughout Ohio, Illinois, and Florida.
