If you’ve found yourself saying:
“My body feels like it’s holding things I can’t name.”
“I miss who I was before the pain.”
“I’m tired of my body making decisions for me.”
“I’m afraid the people in my life think I’m being dramatic.”
“I’m tired of being dismissed in medical spaces."
…we might be a great fit.
I work with people living with chronic pain and illness, especially those who sense that their bodies are carrying the weight of trauma, stress, or long-standing emotional wounds. I hold the belief that your body houses your life experiences, your family's history, your resilience, and the parts of you that never felt fully safe.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected from their bodies or even betrayed by them. Together, we explore how pain, illness, and trauma intertwine—honoring your body’s efforts to protect you and making space for the grief, limits, advocacy challenges, and the emotional weight of navigating a body that deserves compassion.
My approach is somatic, compassionate, and collaborative. I help you build a relationship with your body that feels safer and more supportive. Together we can reclaim ease, understand your body’s signals, and nurture a sense of home within yourself. Your body isn’t the enemy- it deserves to be understood, believed, and cared for...
and so do you.
