If you experienced trauma or abuse in the past, you may be struggling with self-doubt or hatred, along with incessant fight-or-flight cycles. You don’t have to face these struggles alone. I’m here to help you live fully in the midst of your struggles and take steps towards the life you want to live.

Have you tried talk therapy but didn’t see the changes you were hoping for? Do you have good insight into your patterns but don’t know how to actually change them? Do you want to improve your mind-body connection? If so, it might be time to try a somatic approach. Somatic psychotherapy helps us find, understand and resolve the root causes of our issues in ways that are often inaccessible through traditional talk therapy. We’ll work together to expand your ability to be with and effectively process bodily sensations, to digest unresolved emotions, and to renew your optimal connection to yourself and others.

Life can feel heavy at times, whether you're overwhelmed by anxiety, feeling disconnected from others, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe relationships feel more like a source of stress than support, or you’re struggling to feel good about yourself and where you’re headed. If any of this sounds familiar, therapy can help.

You’re feeling disconnected, and communication with your partner isn’t flowing like it used to. Small misunderstandings escalate into larger issues, and the intimacy you once shared seems out of reach. You long to feel heard, valued, and reconnected but aren't sure how to break the cycle. With the right support, you can rebuild that closeness and understanding. With my lived experience of over 27 years of marriage, I offer a compassionate and balanced approach to the process.

You’ve worked so hard to hold it all together. You care deeply for those around you, you hold yourself to impossible standards, and you bottle your feelings so they don’t become a burden. You're disconnected from your internal world and get the sense that if you slow down, everything will fall apart. But underneath all of that control, there’s sheer exhaustion. Something in you knows there’s more to life than surviving, and this subtle, gentle awareness can be the start of something magical. You deserve care that helps you feel safe in your body, connected to your emotions, and more at ease within yourself.

My ideal client is a child or teen who struggles with big emotions, anxiety, behavioral challenges, or life transitions like grief or family changes. They may have difficulty expressing how they feel and often show it through behaviors such as outbursts, withdrawal, or avoidance. Underneath that, they want to feel understood, safe, and more in control of their emotions. Their needs include building emotional awareness, learning coping skills, and improving relationships. Their goals are to feel more confident, communicate their needs effectively, and experience more stability in their daily life.
