I help adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions by combining Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and DBT. Together, we'll explore the patterns, emotions, and protective parts that may be keeping you stuck while helping regulate your nervous system and build lasting change. I offer a warm, collaborative space where healing happens at a pace that feels safe, supporting greater self-awareness, resilience, connection, and emotional well-being.
My approach integrates Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and DBT to support nervous system regulation, trauma healing, emotional resilience, and lasting change. Together, we'll explore the patterns and protective parts that shape your experiences with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.
Whether you're facing anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or the impact of childhood experiences, attachment wounds, or trauma, we'll work at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system while creating meaningful, lasting change.
