The experience of speaking from the heart and being taken seriously builds the psychic structure that supports the capacity to bear life.
— Nancy McWilliams

In-depth therapy for grief, trauma, burnout, ADHD challenges, and life transitions.

Our lives are relational. We develop a sense of ourselves in relationship; we learn what is possible or not, good or not in relationship; and we are changed, healed, and renewed through relationship.

A woman with short blonde hair in athletic clothing crouches down to put a leash on her tan puppy, sitting on a sidewalk near a wooden wall, with greenery and trees in the background.

Therapy that helps you make sense of your experience, with its risks and trade-offs— and works with you to take meaningful next steps.

My clinical work integrates:

  • depth-oriented therapy (patterns, meaning, relationships)

  • neuroscience and nervous system awareness

  • pragmatic options and practical next steps

This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about exploring and understanding the things that really did happen to you, how you made it through, what sense you made of it, how you got here, how your survival strategies helped (and didn’t), and what, for you, might be useful as you carve out a life worth living.
