Chronic pain, complex trauma, and neurodiversity — and the hypersensitized nervous system at the centre of all three. If you've spent years trying to think your way through something that lives in your body, you're in the right place. I work with people who've been dismissed, who've been masking all their lives, or who've tried therapy before without finding what actually shifts. You don't need more coping strategies. You need someone to help you make sense of what's happening.
Advanced PRT-certified and trauma-informed, my work targets the gap between what you know and what your body believes. Using somatic therapy, DBT, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy, I work with the hypersensitized nervous system underlying chronic pain, complex trauma, ADHD, autism, and couples in conflict.
In over a decade of practice — including extensive background in the medical management of chronic pain — I've learned that most people don't need more coping skills. They need the right person. Therapy is about finding your person. If I'm not it, I'm happy to help you find the one.

Do you have a sensitized nervous system? Perhaps neurospicy? Are you someone who sometimes feels 'too much' or 'dramatic?' You're not, I promise. So many factors that we are told are 'just us' actually are an incompatibility towards how our needs were met that reinforced that we are 'the problem.' This creates a learning gap in how we address, and cope with, our needs.

While I have advanced training in many modalities, with my OG being DBT, I like embracing models that validate how one's external environment and experiences reinforce a sensitization of the nervous system and seek to create change from a place of understanding towards both mind and body.
