You are a woman who shows up for others in your work, family, and community. You are deeply attuned to others, yet long for a space where your own needs are held with the same care you give so freely. You may be a therapist, social worker, teacher, artist, activist or healer. Perhaps you’re a mom, auntie or caregiver holding your loved ones together in quiet, unseen ways. Maybe you need a place to unravel and be met with deep compassion. You may feel the tension of wanting more for yourself while struggling with the uncertainty of taking up space for your own healing. I see you. I honor you. You don’t have to be the strong one here.
I offer you a gentle, playful, authentic, soft, and direct approach. Grounded in somatics and present-moment awareness, I help you connect with the quieter parts of yourself that need space to be known. My training in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy and background in social work allow me to deeply support those in caregiving and healing roles.
Together, we will slow down, listen deeply, and tend to the parts of you that have been waiting to be held. Where you can step away from expectations, reconnect with your own needs, and begin to trust yourself again. You don’t have to do this alone. I am here to hold space for you, just as you have held space for so many. If this resonates, let's connect.
