My mission is to support your journey into deep self-discovery & transformation.
Through a grounded relational approach that is trauma-informed combining Somatic Experiencing & other supportive modalities including Parts Work, EMDR, Authentic Relating, & Breathwork, I will support & guide you toward nervous system regulation, self-discovery, and embodied transformation.
I look forward to serving you!
If you’ve been pushing through life, holding it all together while feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite break—and you’re ready for change—then this is the space for you.
Maybe your nervous system feels unpredictable, swinging between high-functioning survival mode and deep exhaustion. Maybe old memories and emotions still live in your body, shaping your life in ways you don’t fully understand. You’re tired of second-guessing yourself, tired of feeling like a stranger in your own skin, tired of carrying it all alone.
You don’t have to anymore. This is your space to heal, reconnect, and step into the confident, grounded, and fully alive version of yourself.
Therapy with me is a space where you can be real—no filters, no expectations, just an open and supportive environment to explore what’s truly going on beneath the surface. It’s a collaborative process built on trust, curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique journey. My role is to help create a foundation of safety where you can engage in meaningful growth and healing—at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no pressure to share beyond what feels comfortable, and no rigid structure forcing you into a mold that doesn’t fit.
In our sessions, you don’t have to worry about saying the “right” thing or keeping conversations neatly packaged. Therapy isn’t about following a script—it’s about meeting yourself where you are. Some days, that might look like unpacking the weight of your week, while other times, it might mean exploring deeper patterns that keep showing up in your life. No matter what you bring into the space, we’ll work together to untangle emotions, gain new perspectives, and develop a deeper connection to yourself.
My goal is for you to leave each session with something meaningful—whether it’s a new insight, a greater understanding of yourself, or a tool that helps you navigate challenges with more confidence. Sessions are fluid and adaptable because healing isn’t a linear process. You deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you move toward the life you want to create.
Many approaches to healing focus on talking about what’s wrong—analyzing patterns, understanding triggers, and learning coping skills. And while talking, feeling heard, and being truly seen are powerful parts of the process, they’re only one piece. If you’ve ever walked away from therapy with new insights but still felt stuck in the same emotional loops, you’re not alone. That’s because transformation isn’t just about understanding—it’s about feeling different.
Your nervous system and body are at the core of everything you think, feel, and experience. They shape your emotions, your memories, and the way you respond to stress and relationships. If healing doesn’t include the body, it can feel incomplete—like you know things should be different, but you don’t actually feel the shift. That’s why so many people find themselves repeating the same patterns, even when they’ve done the work.
That’s where we go deeper. My approach blends Somatic Experiencing & other supportive modalities like Parts Work, Authentic Relating, EMDR, & Breathwork guiding you to not just process the past, but to rewire how your body holds it. This means helping your system release stored tension, shift old emotional imprints, and move out of survival mode so you can actually feel more grounded, safe, and in control.
Our work together is about more than just managing symptoms—it’s about reclaiming your sense of self. As we gently shift stored responses and reconnect you with your body’s natural rhythms, you’ll begin to trust yourself in a way that feels real—not just in your mind, but deep in your bones.
Through this process, you won’t just know things are different—you’ll feel it. More steady. More alive. More you.
💬 Insight is valuable, but you want to actually feel different—not just understand why you feel the way you do.
🧠 You know that healing isn’t just about thoughts—it’s also about how your body holds onto stress, emotions, and memories.
🌱 You sense that past experiences are shaping how you show up today, and you’re ready to work through them.
🔎 You’re not just looking for symptom relief—you want real transformation.
🌿 You want a therapist who can hold deep space for you...
Choosing a therapist is a big decision, and I want you to feel confident in this process. Therapy isn’t always easy—at times, it can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even frustrating.
I also know firsthand that it’s worth it.
As your therapist, I am just as committed to my own personal growth as I ask you to be in yours. I deeply respect the courage it takes to show up, to explore, and to shift old patterns. I never ask my clients to go anywhere I haven’t gone myself. This isn’t just something I practice—it’s something I live.
Real transformation is possible. Long-term, lasting change in your life and relationships is possible. If you’re ready to begin this journey, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Finally, something beyond a talk-approach! For years I tried to manage my anxiety with talking and CBT, but nothing truly shifted. Once I started somatic work, I began to feel more grounded and present in my daily life. Now, even when stress or anxiety shows up, I know how to work with my body and find my way back to calm.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“I had been anxious and dysregulated for most of my life, and I assumed the only way to heal was to keep digging through my past. To my surprise, real relief came when I learned how to work with my nervous system in the present. I didn’t have to rehash my entire childhood — I just needed tools to listen to my body. Now I feel calmer, more balanced, and more in control of my life than ever before.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I used to feel constantly dysregulated in my relationship, reacting out of stress instead of expressing what I really needed. Through somatic work, I learned how to slow down, notice what was happening in my body, and regulate before responding. For the first time, I can communicate my true needs with my partner — and our connection feels more grounded and supportive.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Starting my own business left me constantly anxious and overwhelmed — I felt like my nervous system was always in overdrive. Through somatic work, I learned how to regulate, stay present, and move through challenges without burning out. Now I feel more grounded, resilient, and confident as I grow my business.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Parenting used to leave me overwhelmed and reactive — I felt like I was failing my kids when I lost my patience. Somatic work taught me how to regulate in the moment, so I can show up calmer and more present. Now I feel more connected, patient, and confident as a parent.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“After a powerful psychedelic experience, I was left overwhelmed and unsure how to make sense of it. Working somatically gave me the tools to ground the insights into my daily life instead of feeling scattered or lost. Now I feel more balanced, clear, and able to integrate the growth into who I am becoming.”
