Therapy for deep feelers.
A place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and trust your intuition.
Serving adults throughout California and Washington
You may be the person everyone else relies on.
You may have spent years holding space for others while quietly carrying your own pain.
Perhaps you've spent so much of your life caring for everyone else that, somewhere along the way, you stopped listening to yourself.
Maybe your inner dialogue sounds something like this:
"What if I'm wrong?"
"Maybe I should just go along with it."
"What if they think I'm selfish?"
"I don't even know what I want anymore."
Not because you're broken.
But because, somewhere along the way, your nervous system learned it was safer to listen to everyone else's needs before your own.
Therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and begin listening to yourself again.

How Therapy Can Help
You don't have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy.
You may already understand a lot about yourself. You may know where certain patterns began, recognize when your nervous system becomes activated, or even understand why you respond the way you do.
But understanding something intellectually isn't always the same as feeling differently.
In therapy, we'll slow down and become curious about what is happening beneath the surface—what you notice in your body, the stories you've learned to carry, the relationships that have shaped you, and the protective parts of you that learned how to survive.
There isn't a predetermined place we're trying to get to.
Sometimes we'll follow a feeling. Sometimes we'll notice what happens in your body before you have words for it. Sometimes we'll become curious about a reaction that doesn't quite make sense yet.
Rather than asking you to push past those responses, we'll listen to them.
Therapy becomes a place to understand your internal landscape with more curiosity and less judgment—and to discover what becomes possible when you feel safe enough to experience something differently.
What Can Begin to Shift
Clients often tell me this is the first place they've felt safe enough to say certain things out loud.
Sometimes the shift is subtle. A little more space around a familiar reaction. Recognizing what your body is communicating before immediately overriding it. Feeling an emotion without needing to explain it away.
Other times, something that has felt confusing for years begins to make sense.
Over time, you may begin to notice that you're responding to yourself differently.
With more compassion.
More choice.
More room to be human.
I couldn't be more honored or proud to have my dad's artwork become the logo for Redwood Coast Psychotherapy. He drew this tree the year I was born, long before either of us imagined it would one day become the symbol of my life's work.
Healing Beyond the Therapy Room
Healing doesn't only happen in therapy. Sometimes it continues through meaningful conversations with people who understand what it's like to feel deeply.
Outside of psychotherapy, I also created SoulBody Wellness and the Spiritual Friction podcast—spaces where people can continue exploring healing, connection, and personal growth beyond the therapy room.
These offerings are educational and community-based experiences. They are separate from psychotherapy and are not a substitute for mental health treatment.
If you're ready, I'd love to meet you.
If something in these words resonated with you, I'd be honored to learn more about your story.
A consultation is simply a chance to ask questions, get to know one another, and see whether this feels like the right fit.
You don't have to navigate this alone.
