You are Not LAZY! You can stop calling yourself that because its simply not true. It’s not a motivation issue or a lack of desire issue - though it often feels that way when you go into “Functional Freeze”. Does this sound familiar? You’re enjoying life, being productive, connecting with family and friends. Then, out of nowhere, that familiar feeling of numb emptiness creeps back in. The once technicolor world dims into shades of grey. You feel shutdown, emotions seem inaccessible, you blame yourself. You’d worked so hard to move past this and truly believed you were getting better, but here you are again.
Don’t give up! You are getting better, it’s not your fault that you’re struggling this way, and there is a path through. At some point in your past, you learned it was too difficult to process what you were feeling, so you detached emotionally as a coping mechanism. That's it! You are not defective or irreconcilable broken!
The debilitating symptoms that brought you to my page are your wake-up call to do things differently. As “The Functional Freeze Therapist” I’ll help you gain ownership over your nervous systems response to challenges so you can be the vibrant, passionate, connected person you know you truly are. Book a free 15-minute consult call so we can get started today!

I work with clients who struggle with the freeze response when triggered by stress or a traumatic memory. This can show up as tightening in the throat so you can't speak, you may feel small and young like your child-self, and/or numb out. Working together you'll process trauma, realize how resilient you actually are and step into your empowered sense of self. You become unstoppable - Let's go!

I offer Somatic Therapy with the combined power of Brainspotting and Breathwork. These deep-brain and body-based techniques get you out of your Overthinking Head and into your Wise Body to reach the root causes that create so much suffering. As you embody your healing process, you release the old and tap into the wholeness of who you are that builds the life you've always dreamed of.
