Rising Sun Therapies My Sleepy Hollow, Rising Sun Callington PL17
I work with people who feel overwhelmed by life, but keep going because they’ve had to. People who long to be understood without having to explain themselves, who are tired of holding everything together. Maybe you live with trauma, chronic illness, or emotional patterns that don’t make sense—but you know there’s more to you than this. You want to feel safe in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected to yourself. You don’t need surface-level advice. You need someone who really sees you—someone who can help you meet the parts of yourself you’ve had to push away, and find a way forward that finally feels like yours.
I don’t offer surface-level fixes. I work with the deeper layers—your nervous system, your emotional patterns, and the parts of you that have been protecting and performing for years. Using somatic therapy and parts work, I help you create real, lasting internal change.
You don’t have to do this alone, and you don’t have to keep holding it all together. My clients often describe me as a calm, steadying presence. Whether you’re just beginning or returning to therapy, I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity, and respect for your pace.

My approach blends nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and relational parts work (IFS), including the compassionate principles of PACE and Person-Centred Therapy. I also draw from intergenerational trauma theory, helping clients understand how inherited patterns may be influencing their present experience.
