The worry never quiets down, and lately it feels like the ground beneath you keeps shifting. Maybe there is a new medical diagnosis you don't know how to carry, or a family member moving into care or nearing the end of their life and you simply don't know what comes next. Maybe there was a traumatic event you can't seem to move past. Healing from trauma, grief, or other stressors can take more than talking through it. Using somatic, body-based approaches techniques, influenced by CBT, EMDR, narrative and parts therapy, we work to settle your nervous system and process what you're carrying mentally & physically.
I have significant experience in healthcare, including previously working as a paramedic. This has helped me to develop an understanding of trauma, grief and loss and caregiver stress. I can help navigate the healthcare system and the many layers of emotions involved. I work to connect the mind and the body.
Email or text me to see how I can assist you, I offer a free consultation. I will respond within 2 business days. Evening and Saturday appointments available

I like to take time and check in with your mental and physical wellbeing. I help you identify what your body might be saying and how to work with your body. By listening to ourselves and having the courage to accept, we can gain insight and how to best progress. By understanding our body's response to trauma or crisis, we can move past and also grow.
