You don't have to continue carrying this alone. If you're here, chances are you are exhausted from holding it together. Maybe anxiety lives in your body no matter how much insight you have.

I specialize in helping adults and young adults heal developmental and relational trauma, anxiety and grief wounds using deeply trauma informed, body based approaches that go beyond talk therapy.
