You feel lost in an overwhelming sea of emotion..things just aren’t working out…something has got to change.

Sometimes life can feel SO overwhelming and you don't know how to cope, or your 'tools' aren't accessible when you are too stressed.

I work with high-potential and highly sensitive beings, some of whom feel stuck and burned out. I've discovered personally how somatic therapy revitalizes the organism and resolves long-term psychological issues at their true source, the body. In particular it can shift anxiety , chronic pain, depression, loneliness, and imposter syndrome. It works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside.
