You may be the woman carrying the backpack of invisible emotional labor, responsible for it all and then some, with no room left to connect to yourself and your own needs. Maybe you're sitting at your kitchen table looking around at your life, feeling lost, overwhelmed, unfulfilled, and unhappy. That flash of anger at dinner, the anxious butterflies, the catch in your throat, tears threatening to spill in the grocery store, your body is trying to tell you something. I know where you've been, and I can help you find your way out.
Our work goes beyond understanding why you feel this way. We'll look under the surface at the shadows, learning to listen past your thoughts to what your body has been telling you. You'll begin to recognize old patterns, access your own wisdom, regulate overwhelm and distress, and reconnect to your needs, making choices aligned with who you are now.
Maybe your relationships have changed and you feel absorbed into a life that was never yours. Maybe your body is changing in ways you don't recognize, or you simply don't know who you've become. Maybe you feel like a ship lost at sea. If you can see the light from the shore, even in the storm, steer toward it. That's where your wisdom is waiting.

I work with emotional dysregulation, unprocessed trauma, and the disorientation that comes with major life transitions, divorce, menopause, empty nest, grief, and identity shifts. Many clients notice a gradual lift, more ease in their days, steadier relationships, and a renewed sense of who they are becoming.

You are the expert in your own story. My job is to empower your authority, blending somatic, trauma-informed, and integrative approaches. Together, we'll slow down and listen not just to the mind, but to the body's wisdom, growing your emotional intelligence and finding creative ways to reach what words can't. Healing has no formula, but can safely unfold here, allowing curiosity to lead the way.
