Sometimes life experiences - especially painful or overwhelming ones - can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the life you want to be living. You might notice anxiety, doubting your worth, difficulty trusting others, or other patterns repeating even though you are hoping for change. At times it can be hard to see a clear path forward. With curiosity and compassion, we can gently explore what you've been carrying, while paying attention to the wisdom of your body and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, connected to who you are, and able to move through life with greater authenticity, choice, and ease.
Trauma isn't just something we remember in our minds - it also lives in our bodies. I use Somatic Experiencing to help people pay gentle attention to body sensations so that the nervous system can release stress and return to a calmer, more balanced state. From there, healing can follow because the nervous system learns that the danger is over.
I offer a warm, gentle, and nonjudgmental space to support my clients in exploring a way forward. My colleagues and clients describe me as down to earth, grounded, curious, and offering a calm presence. If this feels like a good fit to you, I invite you to reach out to book a session so that we can begin exploring the shifts you wish to see in your life.
